Looks like a good start, id start by stripping it completely down and cleaning/ inspecting everything. Id sand blast that frame, check for cracks..and have it powdercoated. Also take motor apart and inspect all bearings/seals..etc. make sure everything is good to go especially the counter balancer.
New R Needs a Bit of Work
Well guys i am new here and also have a new 250r. Well new to me.
It needs a bit of work but nothing major, It came with a lot of extra parts 2 motors, one motor is an 88 that needs a top end rebuild and a stator. The other is an 87 that has a fresh top end and just needed a clutch basket which for the time being we stole from the 88.
It came with an extra set of A-arms, stock rear swinger, and shock, full gasket kit, 4 exhaust's 3 are fmf one is a paul turner. One FMF is brand new. came with a nice set of extra front plastics, there is more i know but ill have to go look to see.
Here is the R as is sits. It needed an engine bracket welded that had cracked but all in all its pretty good. Has Leager A-arms, Rpm axel and Swinger, works rear shock(looks like crap but should still work well) front are stock 400 ex shocks but we will try and change them out at some point
Here it is
Any advice on what i should do>? defiently needs the frame to be painted!
