it is an 87.

It is in perfect shape to look at..no oil leaks very clean, runs perfect! and the owner said..

"All stock parts go with quad and some extras,nerfbars,handlebars,etc. The quad
shop just replaced tires,brakes,chain,sprokets,oil,filter,etc. The motor is stock and runs flawless."

And it looks to have a FMF MegaMax II pipe also.

The way i am looking at..

1,800 for the quad, 50 for brakes, 400 for tires, 300 for pipe, nerfs 150, chain 60, bars 50. That is just my guess on those prices. That's around 2,800.

What do you guys think?

I have a 91 250X in perfect condition and I paid
$2200 for it, but it didn't have any extras. That price sounds pretty good.

Didn't the 87-88 models have some kind of 3rd gear problem?

I just read about the 3rd gear problem in my old 1996 Dirtwheels buyers guide

It was only the 87. I will check into that before i buy. More opinions welcome!

i had a 87 250X that i bought new in 87 and had it up until this year, and never had any 3rd gear or tranny problems, of for that matter any problems. I put my quads through hell to so it surprises me. I think there some of the best quads built....go for it and buy it i think.

I think i am probably going to pass on this one. I have found several 91s and 92 for 2,000-2,200.
