Mwl Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Brought an evo 250 factory, cheap, When I went to pack the silencer I found it wrapped with hemp, thats got to be a fire risk. Who would do that and think it's right,lol. Every allen bolt was rounded off, have changed the rear linkage bearings, they were rusted to powder, Easy enough job. Thought my brother had no mechanic sympathy till I took this bike apart lol. Edited September 1, 2022 by Mwl 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpauls Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Rough, poorly maintained, but cheap bikes can be a money pit. Unless the bike's a classic, then it is often better to pay a bit more for a good example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mwl Posted September 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Paid 1500 for evo factory 250, 2010, have cleaned it, changed some parts, cleaned all the frame, swingarm stickers off, looks great now, stands me in 1800, and is something I will keep and work on for years, I use it in local club trials plus ridgeway, so a good buy, with a strong engine.
