Ok, I am going to look at an 89 mx ready 250r this week, and I need to know some of the things to look out for on the 250. I am completely new to 250r's and 2 strokes in general, but I know a lot about 4 strokes, so I figure the 2 will just be even easier. I know obviously to look for frame cracks, but I would like to know where they are most prone to cracking, so I can take a good look. Then are there any other little things I should check for?
Assuming I buy this 250 (which I plan on as long as its in good shape), which oil is the best to mix with my gas, what octane gas should I run, I was thinking 94, and what gas to oil ratio should I run? The motor is ported and polished, has a carb, and a spacer plate, so I'm thinking its either an 86 top end on an 89 bottom end, or that it is stroked. I was probablly just going to run the Honda synthetic pre mix or w/e it is, but let me know what you guys think.
