Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

im green with envy, shouldnt take to much to get it ticking over, hows the rest of it? chrome, forks etc

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

Nice, I have red 73. I bet you can free the engine and salvage the jugs and pistons if you take your time. The trick with penetrating oil is patience. Give it a lot time to do its thing. Get a piece of hard wood and cut it the diameter of the piston so the force when driven is on the skirt rather than the crown. With a hammer you should be able to free it. The penetrating oil may damage the labernith seal so don't use so much that it collects in the crank case. Good luck.

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

Great buy. What a steal.

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

penetrating oil and sitting is no problem. Its my winter project. Still getting the jetting sorted on the other one. If it does not free up without damage. I have a a pair of 350 jugs and 65mm pistons i was gonna use for the 250 just need to have them hogged out to fit the pistons. I have to raise the exhaust port a little. Every part will be taken off and cleaned and polished like i did on the 250. I am sure the caliper and master need rebuilding as well as ss brake hose tires. Its very clean and un molested. Have to go back and pick it up sat will take before and after pics of it. At this rate i will never finish my maxim x. Should be an easy fix hopefully crank seals are good. Will take more time cleaning and polishing everything. But i like that type of work. Heck i am getting fast at doing things to them the other day i took the blue one from sitting on the floor put it on the drive on lift strapped it down pulled the carbs and drained them in 10 min lol. Takes a bit longer to assemble the y boot can be a pain to install with 1 person.

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

cant wait to see some good pics, lucky b@#$tard. as you know ive the LC, but would love an AC to make a pair,you cant lose with that bike, ken

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

I would love to have a lc or rz also they are just to expensive over here. Think i am gonna do the same mods to this one as i did with my other rd but get a better set of chambers i am not crazy over the DG's . Just did the dave f carb mods to it supposto get rid of the 5500 flat spot. Was just hard for me to take a drill to the air jet. The needles and needle jets were about $50. Just trying to get the jetting right you run much smaller jets with the air bleed drilled. Went from a 210 main down to a 170-180 pilot dropped from a 35 down to a 27.5. Ordered the jets waiting for them. Even stripped the black of the carbs and polished them. You can see the shrouded needle jet in the last pic

 

Re: Hoping this is the next for my collection

Got the old girl home needs complete front brake rebuild master cyl hoses caliper. slides is stuck in the carbs. Big relief inside of the tank looks good give it a good clean out and its ready. I need to order a key plus more then likely a top end rebuild need to spray some penetrating oil in there plus tires and tubes. Cant loose any money no matter what bet i could get close to what i paid for the bike just selling the tank. And no i have no plans on selling or parting out.

 

Here you go ken got some of the bike after taking a sponge to 1 side. Everything will be taken off and cleaned. I just can't work on the motor when its so dirty

 

Looking good so far.

 

scrubbing up nicely, nothing wrong with a bit of age related patina, they will look good parked next to each other with the front wheels pointing in the same direction, whats the next colour going to be? id be getting as many as i could at that price.

 

fantastic find, had a 75 come into the shop a bit ago, just a blast to ride and they sure are quick!!

 

and X2 on the y-boot being a bitch, decided to switch up the calbe routing and had to take it off and put it back on twice to set the slide hegth again because the clutch cable was pulling up on one of the throttle cables when the lever was pulled in.
