It's official, I have the sickness.
Ive been riding an 03 RC51 for the past 4 years.
I always wanted a supermoto, and last summer I rode one for the first time, and loved it. It was a hand xr650.
so last night I picked up two bikes, one for me, and one for my woman.
A Yamaha XT 225 Serow and an ATK 605DS
Both are DS, titled, registerable, etc.
Both are in rough shape though
The Serow looks like this:
It needs:
-tires
-sprocket/chain
-battery
-clean the carb
-cosmetic tlc
-oil change
I can find a pic of the atk, but its sorta like this model, and this is close to what i want it to look like.
it needs:
-fork seals
-chain/sprocket
-timing belt
-keyswitch re-installed
-blinkers reinstalled
-sumo tires and wheels
-air filter
The Yamaha will stay mostly stock, as it will be a learning bike for her.
The ATK though, I want to do excel wheels, different fenders, maybe paint.
Please help get me started in the right direction on where to get tires/parts/forum to join, etc
I was looking through the manual, and they have pretty easy direction on how to replace the fork oil, and say it should be done every year. Will the seals be DIY as well?
I have a friend who will help me lace the excel wheels...
Thanks, and lookingforward to hearing opinions!
