first 250r rebuild

[ehorst33]

like the subject states im in progress of my first rebuild.. the frame, a arms and swinger are in to be powder coated and gusseted. It should be back this weekend. Anyone got any tips for putting it back together, any problems i might face, ive never done this before and im trying to do it right make this a nice quad. Any help or tips will be apprecited, i plan on posting pics as i go along.
thanks

First thing,check all bolt holes after powder coating.You may have to chase the holes with a tap or a thread chaser.Second,scrape the frame where the ground wires attaches.This will save you some headaches when you go to try and start the engine after you get it together.

I had bagged, tagged and labled everthing on my rebuild and i'll be dammed if i still spent hours scratchin my head on where certain bolts went :huh hope you have better luck lol.
