If anyone has those rubber covers at a affordable price let me know , I just cant justify the cost when I have seen them up for grabs. I have never had any on my X and I was the second owner in 78

yeah bought a helmet and knee guards and elbow guards. So see what happens, don't ride fast enough anyway so all should be useful

I have this model but it needs tlc , motor and gears back shocks all good but its rough, but I have ridden it, handles well I think. going to strip it down, paid $500 for mine but maybe looking at this one I might end up spending more. I like that its not a popular model makes for more interest in the project. Anyway good luck as I know I need it

well im the opposite of an expert. But I did use them on my 76 YZ 125 and they ( touch wood seem great). Mind you getting the old ones out is a different story , and good luck with that

I think that's a deal. Mine cost me more that that and I started with a complete original , rebuilding the shock alone is costly. Nice bike by the way gotta love the X

Even has the covers for the front air canisters. It would look great next to my 125x . Anyone know what these were actually like as a bike

I have a ts250x which I am working on motor is pretty good , anyway bike starts great and idles perfect but as it gets warmer it gets faster and faster im not sure how far it would go if I left it. Accelerator cable is fine . I have given the carb a clean and it doesn't seem to be getting the wrong air , but that's possible . Could it be leaking air somewhere ? If have mucked around with idle screw as well. When it gets hot I can take the screw right out to control the revs but then it will cut out.

Well ,
I flushed and cleaned carb twice. adjusted the air intake screw to factory setting.  all levels seemed fine  Did not see any obvious issues. Still did it. I then took the fuel line off and kept kicking till it pumped though and it got started. Ran the motor till no more fuel in the carb then pumped air into the fuel intake. Placed fuel line back in started first kick and idled perfect. Though it may have been that it was not hot so easy start. Left it overnight started first kick and no sign of issue. Wont be working on it for a another week as the bike lives at the in laws . So will be interesting to see what happens. COuld I have cleared some dirt out when running it dry ?

Just finished a rebuild but did not reco the carburettor. However have ridden it twice with no real issue's but very hard to start. After I got the bike home took it off the ute and petrol poured out of the exhaust outlet. Tried to start it and with and without choke and more petrol poured out. Havent taken it off yet. I know it has to be carb issue but what does everyone think it is , needle stuck ? float chamber sinking , . I did give it a good clean before putting the bike back together and I admit it did not idle but the bike has run perfect at the track twice , so this has confused me. Taking it off this weekend , but can I ask what should I look for and are some things obvious or hard to visually see
