Picked the first one up from a friend and and it came with an extra roller frame. Ended up having to buy a new carb for it since the original was shot. Changed the rear decals and put a new seat and a with a little tuning it runs great. It's a 1985.

After

I picked my next (1984) one up not running but in good condition. Even came with a new front tire. I pulled the tank off to find a bent frame, pretty common on these and easy to fix though. The tank is awesome, no dents and very minimal rust in it, which is hard to come by.

Those are awesome Wes, keep the ethanol out of them and they will last forever.

Yep, I drained the tank and carb out of the one I have running and will buy new fuel tomorrow. I want to re-do and liner the metal tank soon then I'll try to fire #2 off. My boys love them lol

So cool....do you know how the rear axle bearings come out on a 84 70?

Nope, but I'm sure I'll find out lol. I downloaded and printed the honda service manual for the 85 recently. Shouldn't be different.

Please keep me updated when...or if you pull the rear axle bearings.

BEWARE!!!!!! atc70's ARE worse than rabbits!!!!! next thing you know you will be looking everywhere for 70 parts and the 250r will have cobwebs all over it!!!!

rear bearings are very easy,, the axle nuts hold the axle in pull the hubs and the sleeves ,, the sprocket and brake drum just slide on the axle,, and it slides right out of the bearings,,, bearing house numbers on the bearing is 6006
