[ColtonGG33]

so as alot of you know, i've been looking for a 250r for about a year now, and i just gave up hope on buying one, because they are just SO over priced, but today i decided to check CL and found a 84 250r for sale for cheap it needs a couple things, its missing the rear fender and seat, other than that everything else is good, a tad bit of surface rust on the swing arm but nothing a drill grinder cant get off. the guy is actually gonna deliver me it too! cant wait to get it slap a seat on and ride it lol. should be great ill put up some pics when i get it tomorrow if i still have time, gonna be super busy.

anyway any advice for a new 250r owner?

My advice is wear a helmet, and make sure your brakes work ...

Lol definitely need brakes lol, a bout a week ago I bought a bunch of mx gear to ride in it's pretty awesome

Most important advice, wear your brain bucket! It's one thing to go for a slow, Farmall-A paced putt-putt on a Big Red or something with no bucket, but nobody rides a machine like an R slow! Lots of self proclaimed "experienced" riders get thrown from an R the first time they throw a leg over one....

Have fun and take care of it. It's a little piece of history they just don't make anymore and parts are only going to get more scarce as the years go by. Not saying don't ride it the way it was meant to be ridden, just take care of her!

Lucky dog... Lol. Good for you dude! Enjoy, and ride smart!

brain bucket, i call it a skid lid personally, helmet, whatever you want to call it... just remember that it WILL save your life... and hey man, dont be overconfident. that helped get these machines banned back then

So I got it today, and their were a couple more problems with it, it's gonna need axle bearings and a kicker, the kicker stripped not the shaft (thank god) so I didn't get her running yet, tomorrow I'll get a kicker and clean the carb and put new gas in. One other thing, when i smelled the gas to me it smelled like regular gas not mixed? I couldn't really tell by looking at it, so I'll have to just drain the gas out of the tank too.

Once I get payed I know wherre all the money is gonna go to lol

Some of the synthetic oils are hard to see in the gas. Dip your fingers in and roll your thumb and pointer finger together. The gas will evaporate and you should be left with greasiness on your fingers.
