Yamaha Other description

Howdy, Have this near bone stock 1974 DT250 my lousy back won't let me ride anymore, so here ya go.  All original except rear turn signals, the tool kit is still under the seat, amazing.  On original bore, rings still almost shiny, no seizure marks, ready to go and go and go.  Tires are about 3/4 tread left, oil injection system still working so no pre-mixing needed.  Nice that this model's sprockets can be flipped for double the life when needed in the future, these have 12K miles, not bad.  Chain outer links are rusty from when it sat out for a long time, chain itself I cleaned, only 1" stretch, still good.  No rust in tank, replaced fuel lines and filter.  Starts first kick (has a fresh plug), runs like a bat, embarrassingly fun with the low gearing that's on it, ring-ding it through the gears and you're only doing 50mph, fun.  Air cleaner is K&N type, needs an oiling.  Wheels are straight, no rust to speak of.  Only negative is seat, the pan rusted when sitting, I put the funky cover on it wears now.  Your butt won't know the difference. Not sure what else to say, except I'd put my grand kids on it, I consider it safe and sure.  AZ title notarized and ready to go.  Will consider using my van to deliver it once paid for at say a buck a mile one way?  Thanks, Bruce in Tombstone.  PS, might swap for a DSL, RPK or Dragonov with scope and extras, I'm an FFL.

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

Preparations for the 2014 MotoGP Championship are well underway, with the first pre-season test at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit complete. As the first test of the year, we shouldn’t take too much stock into the results, but they do provide a basis for later comparison. Reigning World Champion Marc Marquez was the fastest rider on all three days of the Sepang test.

The horrendous reality of restoring a 'classic'

Tue, 31 Aug 2010

It was with much excitement – displaced or not – that my freshly rebuilt 1976 SR500 Yamaha fired into life at the second kick this weekend. I say second kick. It was actually the thirty second kick – thirty of those spent frothing up a heady sweat until I realised the main fuel pipe was kinked to buggery.
