1985 Honda 250sx and 250es propeller shaft boot interchange

[ctk]

Can anybody confirm that the 1985 Honda 250sx propeller"rear driveshaft" boot is a correct replacement for a 1985 Honda 250es big red. Ive never had a shaft drive big red, but plan to purchase a big red and would like to know if it's a direct replacement

I would think they are the same! I'm 99% sure.

I have no first-hand experience, but according to the parts catalog, they are different.

The SX and ES boots are all gone. There were a minor mold difference between the two driving a different part number but either one worked. What Honda is selling now for the ES and SX are the TRX250 boots. They work just fine but once they are gone I'm not sure what will be a suitable replacement.

I think #8 in the diagram is what you are looking for.

I managed to score a NOS one a few months back for a 250es. Will keep that because the one on mine is not the best with a bit of dry rot. Such a job to replace it though! Will definately be waiting till it's completely unusable.
