dirtbike question

muddslinger · January 18th, 2006, 03:11 PM

not really 4x4 related but.. im thinking about buying an 85 yz250, and it wont run because it has no spark... so what could be the problem with it?

That is a mess, I read up about what the guy said and you are going to have to rewire the entire bike and that is NO fun. Just be patient and wait till you find a good deal on a running bike.

alright thanks for the advice

how much do you want to spend?

I have a guy at work who wants out of dirt bikes. he has a bike like what you want.
this ones an RM 250 and its like new(you can't ride it in the city)

how much is it, its probably to much for me but let me know anyway

Yetti · January 18th, 2006, 05:24 PM

It's a '98 and I bet he'll take $2000 for it. I know he has clothing to go too and he probably wants a couple hundred dollars more for that.
