    bought another big red 250!

    well i just picked up this beater for $360. dont know the year doesnt have a tag i guess ill have to look up the vin number.

    it has new carlisle tires that were only used once. its been sitting and started up with starting fluid and the motor sounds nice and quiet.tank is coated with rust, dont know if it leaks but i put a tank off another bike on it and it runs but bogs out when i hit that throttle so itll need a carb cleaning

    the rear wheels wont move at all in neutral so maybe its just the rear brake thats seized.









    makes my 85 look like a gem lol

    Judging from the exhaust and the rear end, it's an '85.

    LOVE those kind.
    I call mine, "theft proof ugly"
    and wouldn't change a thing.
    My vote is stuck brake shoes or brake cam adjusters
    and yes, cleaning the carb is always a good idea.
    Blast out the tank so there is no more rust particles, ugly is fine
    as long as there is no loose rust, and keep it full.
    No oxygen, no rust.

    GREAT score. you're gonna love it.

    ps - check/change the rear axle gear oil asap.
    It's only 3 point 3 oz and likes every drop
