Here is my new to me 83 yz250K. Got it from a young fellow who purchased it from the
original owner. It had been sitting since 85 ,and the kid was amazed all it took to start it
was a tank of gas ,and a few kicks. He was impressed with two stroke power for a short
while as the the bike seized He put it away and and listed it on Craigslist ,and I acquired
it and found the reason for the seizure was a bad water pump seal.The bikes in amazingly
good nick. I've already have a 3rd over piston on the way ,and will be getting a new pump
seal kit this week. New Metzelers, air filter, bearings,chain/sprockets and it will be in the
dirt. A full resto will be a winters project in the Fortress of solitude! I'll update with pics.
Have a good Sunday.
That is the only way I solved my problem.
Thanks for the heads up on the 84 clutch cover I'll be scouring eBay for that item.
Funny thing the kid said "I didn't even check the antifreeze before starting it!"
I always loved those K bikes
I wouldn't mind finding one of those 250s
I already have a 125
The Shop
