ive been absent for a while whilst getting an xt500 back together ...
im now onto a tl250...
the rear bearings were shot probably due to the retainer being locked solid...when the wheel was off i have seen the original rear dished sprocket it showing signs of wear...
i know these are hard to find ...there are a few are in usa but other than being expensive add on shipping and import duties make it very expensive....
so im going to ask does anyone know of any in the uk or even europe...
i dont mind paying the going rate for one but it would be easier to cope with with out the extra ontop...
perhaps someone has one hanging in their shed and wants some cash for it
or has any one successfully redressed an alloy sprocket and ground back to shape?
i did order a cdi from dk spares today. ive always found them fair and if the item is faulty they usually replace it foc....they done me a deal on a coil too so hopefully will be running at the weekend...
I'm going to leave what I can as is but get it mechanically sound..shouldn't be to bad as it is in pretty good shape and mostly there to begin with.
So here are some questions if you can help..
I want to get a v5 so will need a dating certificate from a recognised group. ..has anyone done this with ? Will yamaha or vjmc be able to do this...or is there another alley.
And I'm gonna need rear shocks any ideas as to the best route..probably more green lane than competition. ..but I do want somthing that is period looking
Well tonight I looked at the clutch..the lever end was solid...a bit of plus gas and it freed of...it's abit rough but at least it now works..
I also took the carb off and that was a right mess but everything finally cleaned up...
Fresh fuel and fluids..etc
Half a dozen kicks and it's running sweet as a nut..
A couple of questions
The kick start lever will only return half way and is sloppy from this point..I guess the return spring has either come out of its stay or worse broke....it has a very short bungee on it which was obviously put on it to hold it up...so has been like it for some time
And also should it have a rear silencer ....it looks like the pipe is kicked in to the tyre ...i have heard that was done sometimes to blast any loose mud off ....

yeah i see talon do a specific sprocket and spacer for ths 250..
i may go down that route and keep the original as is..
but at the moment im keen to keep it as stock as possible...even though i know its an expensive path
