Newbie to restoration XT250G

[simon watson]

Hi All

I am hoping that this forum provide some guidance to a novice?

I have purchased a XT250G, pretty much all there and MOT'd etc..., just need to fettle it a bit:

• Head Gasket, weeping when hot!
• needs a replacement clock mount, last owner fabricated one not that good
• It has a stainless steel Micron Exhaust, very good condition, but to be honest I would like an original

I have been scouring the internet for the last week and have come up blank on the mounting bracket and exhaust, also would be great to find a digital manual.

Looking forward to a fews chats on here and the project moves on :-)

Regards

Simon

As far as a clock mount goes you may struggle. if I were you I'd knock up a template and go to a small fabrication shop

 

Sorry I can't be any more help

This 'clockwork' chappy on fleabay seems to have a lot of XT250 gear so looks like he's breaking/broken one.

A message to him may help.

As for exhaust : tried original 10 years ago and nowhere to be found.  Went with a very good stainless jobbie.

Im not sure but i have a dt or XT clock base its plastic but dont think there are any part number stamps so will need some cross reference checking.

XT250 exhaust well the last one i bought came from the states
