1988 250r, lots of new parts.

[2001300exguy]

I hate to do it since I just bought the bike a couple months ago but I’m buying my first house and need the extra cash. 1988 250r motor completely gone through in 2012 and have receipts for everything done then totaling over 3 grand. When I got it, it had fmf fatty head pipe, re-sleeved stock cylinder and new wiesco on first bore, v force reeds, uni airfilter, newer sprockets and new chain, ricks motorsports cdi, nerf bars, Ims oversize gas tank and moose billet clutch basket and clutch kit.

Since I got it I have replace exhaust seals/springs, tm design chain slider, steering stem bushing and bearing, headlight bulb, new grips, brand new take off 450r shocks, new front wheel bearings, JD performance +2 a arms with new balljoints and new delrin bushings, stainless front brake lines, front plastic grommets, replaced cracked swingarm, new swingarm bearings, freshly packed pipe, 38mm 4 vent pwk, new throttle cable and carb cap, upp 38 mm intake boot, rebuilt stock kicker, and new chromoly tie rods and tie rod ends. All the fluids have been replaced and everything has been greased and adjusted, this thing is ready to go I just wasn’t planning on getting a house this soon. The plastic are all oem with the only crack above the headlight and the front right mounting point was broke off and replaced with an aluminum bracket which you can’t even really see. Compression was 185 on a cold motor and leak down held 9.5 psi only loosing .5 psi after 15 minutes. Long post but I wanted to get everything out there. Looking for $3,000 OBO. Located in St.Louis.

Bumping this back up, decent price drop now looking for $2500. Will drive a reasonable distance to meet. Currently refinishing the gas tank to get rid of the black also.

Do you have the original gas tank as well? Tell me more about the motor....any problems at all?

[2001300exguy]

No original tank, cleaning up this one now. All the black is off and i'm starting to polish it tonight, already looks much better. I have never had the motor opened up but i have the receipts from the shop that went through it and everything that was done. It was re-sleeved back to stock bore and i'm told that is what it is on now. I was going to open it up but it passed the leak down and compression test with flying colors so i didn't see a need. I've only taken the bike out once but it ran flawlessly all day with the new carb.
