Title: got one at last - now asking the experts Post by: mije on July 09, 2009, 08:49:08 sorry - also posted in general bike discussion by mistake... :blush:
anyway: after months of prowling ebay and waiting for some spare cash i've bagged a 2002 250 (sl?) with 13,000 on it in generally nice condition for a song. really liking it so far - so much more relaxing than a motorbike. so, wondering if people could give me 'things to watch for / check / improve' suggestions. the headraces are fine, the drive casing as a nice big hole from the centre stand (now removed) exhaust is fine. the 'swinging arm' bearings appear to have a little waggle movement, but it rides v stable. the digidash all works but i should waterproof it better? shocks are v rusty, but work... came with a huge aftermarket screen on it which i could not see over and so was lethal in the dark - 14cm now removed from the top - is this also the case with standard screens? i'm 5'8" so quite normal really! also, wonder if anyone can help me out with copies of the owners manual and a workshop manual, as i'll be doing the spannering. many thanks all j Title: Re: got one at last - now asking the experts Post by: joyce on July 09, 2009, 08:54:10 The standard screen can be seen over.
