SR250 Day 2
Went through the carbs again.
Charged battery, again.
New plug.
Cleaned all the electrical connections and grounds in the ignition system and added dialectic grease.
It finally decided to run.......poorly.
A few more minor adjustments and....
It idles fine now but doesn't want to come down off revving......though it does, slowly.
I saw this complaint a lot on the forums.
When this thing gets stripped down, it is getting a new mikuni.....
This is also the expansion chamber on the exhaust that has a huge hole in it.
When you rev it in the gravel, it creates a dust storm!
This is the other side. It has the chain tension guide.
I think she likes it.
1981 Yamaha SR250 "Exciter"
Ever since I helped Masaru with his SR400 a few years ago, I always wanted to have work with a bike from this series. I've been looking for a good light but fast bike for Christina to ride as well.
This is the only old bike in my garage that doesn't have a kick start and has an electronic ignition.
It makes working on this thing not as fun.....and after researching the forums, I realize this may be Japanese born but it's no Honda..... Gonna have to learn a whole new set of fixes for a whole new set of wonky-ass problems. I think I just need to buy a new carb. 150+Psi and plenty of spark.
Day two of gas fumes brain...here I come.
