1985 DR250S, not sure what its worth, so chuck in a bid/make an offer and we'll see what happens. Will list more pictures in the coming days.
Bought this at the start of the year and proceeded to strip and rebuild it, all parts minus tank + plastics (left as original for now) have been cleaned back, primed, painted and clear coated.
Pictures available of most stages of the rebuild.
Forks rebuilt with new oil and seals, steering head bearings replaced, all other bearings were in good condition so just lubed. New front brake pads, rear drum pads had plenty of life left. New chain etc
Did not require strip down of the motor as the current one has plenty of compression, etc. Goes very well, may require use of the decomp lever if your legs are weak. Just did the oil, filter and valve clearances.
Can be road registered, have got the completed police check form stating they have no interest in the bike, so you could take it down to the AA/VTNZ compliance center and have it complied for road use. Will chuck in a set of indicators (currently not fitted) if next owner wants.
Old man tells me its a blast to ride on the road (naughty naughty!)
Note: I Blew the front brake master cylinder seals when having a play the other week so will rebuild this for the next owner before sale.:whistle:
