Hello guys,
I've just create this topic to exchange about my first 250r build. It will be more a reconstruction than a restoration, everything need to be rebuild.
Frame is 88. Naturraly I thought motor was a 88 (number plate is removed, so??), but I think it's a 86, not sure... need your helps to identify
The objective is to build a bike for a mix between MX and endurance racing. So I will have a lot of work.
I run the bike during 10-15min only... it pull on bottom-middle but can't rev to top, I will understand better why, after the disassembling ^^
Disassembly stepThe dissasembly is easy and fast. I have a 400ex and a 450er, many things are similar.
I know the frame is not really "fresh", but after removing everything from it, I just constat that frame is good for garbage..... so many welds I can't count, bend in the front...
Ok...so.. next, we will check the moto now... and a new disillusion.... center cases were cracked on the rear... just behind the swingarm
The sleeve on top end in cracked too...
Clutch basket need to be change
Transmission and crank looks correct
It's a perfect start for the rebuilt
After this first disappointed contact, I know this is one of the worst purchase I have made...
I am not discouraged, it will just take me more time to rebuild (and also a little more Euros
)
But I don't know where to start....frame...motor....So I start to contact some guys for the frame, if it's possible to repaired or not... the same for the cases....
So I start to clean all recoverable parts during my evenings, polish some ...etc.. not the biggest steps, but it takes time too
