vt250 questions

[Wasp]

250s are shocking prices If you can fix it, rego and warrant it for under a grand, you're onto a winner.

There ya go IR (still must be comming quite close though)

Edit: Congrats on recieving my 500th post.

What the heck. $100 if its all there or most of it, you'll get the money back selling the parts if its to far gone.

yeap, IR will give you $50 for the speedo unit ($80-$120 from a wreckers) (he might not so dont quote me on that one)

If you decide it's worth putting back on the road and the brakes are rooted, send them down to me and I'll fix them up for as little $$$$ as possible

I went and had a look, Its definately a basket case, two complete bikes stripped and scattered, I could probably build a complete bike but I would need lots of nuts and bolts.
I dragged out the only motor with a crank and took the sump off, the remains dregs of oil looked like new, but there was flakes of metal in the gunge at the bottom, so it would need at least bottom end work to build another motor, does anyone know where I can get a good crank?, or want some bits, I'll keep this one in mind but I'm gonna keep bargain hunting in the meantime.

I found a motor with a supposed good crank(waiting for confirmation on that)
so it looks like I'm going to be the proud owner of a huge mechanical jigsaw puzzle soon. just what I like

Can anyone help me with a workshop manual? I would prefer a scanned one if possible

nothing against your mechanical skills, but don't be suprised if the honda blows up in your face
