i will be gratfull for any info,

its in need of a lottle tlc but should make a real nice ride,


im gona load a picture now,

thanks

 

what year is it?

 

Depends on what year, you can see my photo gallery and what I did to mine =)

 

Its a 1985, looks quite a lot different to the ones in your photos,

i cant get the photos to upload, looks a bit more jacked up, like the ones in your avatars

 

85-86 250r atc shares a lot of the aftermarket the TRX's do. anything from some suspension to almost all engine performance items. unfortunately things like plastics and gastanks are becoming discontinued or costly. i recently purchased a rear fender from honda and it wouldve cost me close to 250 had it not been for a friend working at the dealer.

See the one in profile. You'll love it. What is the ebay #. I noticed you were in the Zuki forum and were thinking of LT 250. My 85 ATC 250r, is great and in my races with several modified Banshees, it holds its own. It is mildly ported and as soon as I get a better carb it should increa the top end enough to win all the time instead of every other time in drag races.

 

item number is 2457657423

bit of a fixer uper but should make a nice ride, couldnt resist with exchange rates the way they are at the moment,


im still interested in getting an lt 250 but the three wheeler fits in nicely to my planned collection,

 

WOW i like the white plastics

 

Zilla-

I bought my 86 off ebay- picked it up last summer, it was a wreck, but half the fun for me is fixing and wrenching on it until its the way i want it(check it in my profile). I buy parts on the web at denniskirk, rockymountainatv and off ebay, watch ebay though, sometimes people get nuts buying stuff- example- Front fender for 86 250R went for 70 bucks- buy them new for 40- just my .02- good luck with the project
