Hey all, my furst poast on this forum, I'm the proud owner of a Yamaha SR250. It needs a little TLC, and seems like a good bike to get to know how the mechanical side is put together. I've got other experience in car mechanics, and a little in bike mechanics, but i've not replaced a chain/sprocket set, or the fork seals and oil. So the obvious question is:

(1) does anyone have a manual for a 2002/2003 SR-250? Or know where i can find one?

Hopefully in the manual, of if someone knows, i'm after a couple of pieces of information:

(2) The volume of fork oil?

(3) The fork spring length and acceptable limits

(4) Distance of the fork cap to the triple clamp (i'm guessing i'll see where it is now, and replicate this).

I'll be getting parts through my local Yamaha dealer, bit of a dodgey story there with them skipping chain/sprockets on the road worthy and me not noticing. Oh well, i'll save on labour this way

More posts to follow i'm sure! Thanks for help in advance!

Cheers,

Sir B.

Haha, yeah i know not in the newbie section, but it's not what i'm after. Figured the mechanical stuff would be more appropriate here. Should this thread be moved to a different forum?

Actually i'm starting to see a bunch of "SR250" posts that go un-replied. Is this normal?

He mean's, he doesnt know you or anything about you, so why should he / we help you !!! Post info on yourself in the new members section.

The info you are after will be in your new manual, not many will know the answers off the top on there head.

Was hoping to find a source for a manual actually, or another SR250 owner! Actually here's a question... are the 2003 SR250s an exact replica of the 1980s SR250s? Or how close a replica are they?

Also, THIS:

Thanks!
