Title: 89 ts250x project
Post by: ts250xSM on January 28, 2012, 12:06:52 am

Hi,
My name is Paul,as the username states,i have a ts250x 1989.I bought it for $650 with a rebuilt engine.Previous owner bought a frame and engine and sourced everything assembled up to this point,got it to rideable and sold it for wedding funds.
It is just a dirt bike currently,but i would like to find the missing cosmetics,original tacho etc or use a vapour and get it roadworthy.
Wiring is stripped for lighting,but stator wires intact.oil mix canister missing so its running premix(I dont mind)
Rear rim took a beating but fine on dirt.So im not looking to do a resto,but to save it and return it to the road:)

hoping not to offend anyone,but i have ahad a few motards and would like to supermoto it purely for fun,rear drum brakes and all.But keep a set of dirt tyres also cause that is why i originally bought it.heres an example i am unable to get any info on

These were a popular trail bike in my local area (country Vic) back when they came out. Good luck with the restoration.

thanks Tex..It is a blast in the paddock for me to learn to ride a 2stroke.Powervalve is locked in place to full.its quick without being over aggressive which is great.Plenty bikes,plenty need restoration,but nobody is willing to part them or sell parts im finding:(
