Hey guys, I have a 1985 Yamaha SR 250. Unfortunately I have 3 problems I need to deal with in order to get the bike registered. Brake light stays on Neutral light stays on in dash I need to reconnect the fuel lines and i'M unsure of the placement. First of all my tail and brake lights are always on, I realize that my tail light should stay on but the little button that my front brake lever pushes in to activate the brake light is stuck on. When I changed the broken brake and clutch levers to new ones I greased them and I think i clogged the buttons Is there anyway to fix them for instance WD 40 or silicon spray? Or would I need new switches? Secondly my neutral light is constantly turned on in the dash.... Would this problem be the same as the Brake light switch? And finally when I bought the bike none of the fuel lines were connected... Can I please get a diagram of the fuel system or a verbal run down of this as im new to bikes. THANKS GUYS!

I thought that I'd finally get around to joining the forum after being lead here multiple times by google searches looking for advice. My name is Luke and I'm from Australia. I have 2 Yamaha's First of all a 1985 SR 250 I'm close to having registered And secondly an 1987 FZR 1000 which being the sensible person I am....and not having access to anything else I learnt to ride on. Unfortunately I have dropped it twice.....Both times just pushing it out of the way in the garage,The good news is that i havent damaged it bar a tiny, barely noticeable dent in the tank. The FZR doesn't have any fairings as it was bought naked, I'm considering an R1 tail conversion on it but I don't have an R1 subframe or the know how to do it. But the good news is that i may be starting a metal fabrication apprenticeship soon so it may happen.......In say 3 years when I can trust my life to my welding skills!! http://www.facebook....92&l=815e0409e2 The SR250 I'm undecided about..... I was going to Cafe racer it but I bought a Virago fender and partial inverted it and (from behind at the very least) it looks good. The SR also has new chrome indicators I have installed and a new tail light....Which will be installed after i pass rego just incase the inspector feels rather critical on the day. I try and post some photos and also go more into detail in the projects thread. http://www.facebook....92&l=df976199e3 http://www.facebook....92&l=496f057db2

Hi, A little while ago I purchased a 1985 sr250 to do up. I put a kickstarter in it which I got off an XT250 (I think). To put the idle gear for the kicker in I had to pull the clutch out and when I put it all back together with the cover and everything the clutch wouldnt disengage. I was wondering if anyone had a manual or has had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
