I picked up the 1994 WR250 this evening. It's a roach, but it runs. : )
Bike has been hammered, plastics have been painted (badly) and it's obviously sat in the weather based on the seat cover and rusty rotors. Motor has good compression, starts, and seems to run ok, although I suspect jetting is off or the exhaust valve isn't functioning 100% as it doesn't have the note change I was expecting when on the pipe, pulled decently though?
The must dos:
rear wheel bearings
rear brake system torn down, cleaned, new pads
grips
all sorts of bolts missing on the bodywork...
chain rollers
rear bushing for the muffler mount
throttle sticks, suspect it's something in the throttle itself (cleaning time)
flush all fluids and grease/lube everything
swingarm axle needs to be tightened down
The things I'd like to do but can wait for now:
new radiators
new plastics
new seat
new tank
new chain
fork and shock oil
fix headlight wiring
new rear brake lever
new tires
learn wtf I'm doing
So, it'll be a project, not quite as cheap as I would have liked but I'm comfortable with the work required. I'll snag pics later as I start to tear into it.
