I just can't turn down a free motorbike...

not sure if it is classic or just old.... 38 years old....:(

quite rare.. was never meany around ... everyone wanted a XL..
don't think there was much really wrong with them.. other than a bit
under power compaired to the other brands 250 4t bikes of the time...

So I now have a 1980 kawasaki Kl250 in the shed... all there apart from the road gear..
I really didn't need another bike... what could I do.. it was free...

It also came with a GSXR250 minus all the fairings and tank... gave that away...

Good score. FREE bike :-)

Does it run?

[pete-blen]

about every 5 kicks it will run for a few seconds...
carb needs looking at... has good spark...

Pete buddy, congrats to you. Just take your time and you'll have her running in no time.

Hopefully the fuel tank isn't too rusty inside. Oil/Air filter, a re-jetted carb, and fresh fuel; plus a serious lube all around, might be all she needs :2thumbsup
