Saw this on fleabay Bike is a TS250X with no motor in it (cant copy the link for some reason) my cynical comments in italics....apologies for taking the p*ss
still laughing at the last comment...
"Hi, Up for auction is a complete (
really) 1986 Suzuki TS250X. (virtually identical to RM250)
Really?? u never rode an RM obviously...
The Good:
Is identical to the RM250, so there are plenty of engine rebuild parts on the net.
ooohh yeeeaahh....every part is the same.....
Tyres are good
Brakes work
Comes with new set of clutch plates.
Bolts and everything there (but no road things such as indicators or headlight or horn).
or motor....what happened to the complete bike???.The bad:
Front forks need new seals ($15 fix if DIY).
Fifteen bucks???
Needs at the very least: a new piston kit. Con rod looks fine but may as well replace it while you have it open.
Dude...just tell us us its sh%%ged!!
Shattered piston has fallen into crankcase so will need to split the crankcase in order to get it all out. No sure on condition of bottom end but was fine before piston broke.
Riiiiiiiggghht.... I wonder if the non existant big end caused the piston to shatter.....
Feel free to inspect, call me (Chris) on 0425334759. Located in Hornsby, Pickup preferred but can deliver within a reasonable distance as long as you cover fuel.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to fix up this classic Suzuki, and these things fly when they go. My loss your gain.
