Might be picking up another cycle tomorrow.....

Blame it on Charles Freeborn's thread! :mad:

Going to go look at with cash in hand....

It's an '81 Yamaha XT 250...in very original condition - everything working (except horn)

Thanks, Charles. Sounds like it over the phone....meeting the seller at 10am and will report back afterwards...

I like the classics.... ;)

Looks like fun. I have been sniffing around dirt bikes & road bikes getting closer.

Nice score!
I've been browsing cl too because of that dang thread!

No horn!?! Are you mad?!?

I will not scan craigstist for cheap motorcycles...

Don't worry Scott, I've already done that and there aren't any.

Congrats, Baz.
I bought a late model Yam. XT250...2008 with 900 miles...to teach my g/f how to ride.
She didn't like the experience so I dumped it.
It was set up sooooooo lean that it would hardly idle...even if I let it heat up.
Researched some forums for jetting info but didn't want to bother.
Fun when running, but.....................

I'll look for the spare parts box and send everything to you...if they're compatible.
Oil filters, jets, etc.

Nice of you to think of me. Have no idea of compatibility without researching, but feel free to contact me with what you have and we can talk. I have no problem reimbursing you for your costs.

The seller of this bike said the original owner had the carb. jetted so it wouldn't run at full speed, whatever that means. It runs really good right now though, so I'm not sure how this will end up sorting out the carb. and so forth. I'm in no hurry - have plenty of other things to keep me busy....

You guys looking for enduros like mine...they show up all the time on CL.....and on eBay. In fact....I posted a link in the Charles Freeborn thread of a nice vintage Honda dirt bike on eBay in California that I would pursure in a new york minute, if I lived on the west coast.

Point is...don't give up.....no hurry....they show up and when it's right - it's right! :)
