XTTrailbike Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hi all Just brought myself a restoration project. Same model I had from new in 1981 XT250. Hell of a lot of work coming up but ive done a couple of different bikes before Suzuki T500J and a Bonneville T100 concourse. Both on youtube Ive still got that sick feeling and not sure if its excitement to start or worrying ill never finish it. Look forward to picking your brains when ive got my head round the bikes history. Goes without saying bits are scarce, so im up for anyone contacting me saying they got every bit i need cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTTrailbike Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Right hand side panel plastic proved tricky. Sourced second hand from Japan! Pics all look good so fingers crossed. Bash plate and chainguard proving tricky too! all good fun and hours of my life on ebay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFJ1200 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Had one & drove one for a looooong time. Was a bit of 1/2 a barn find but all complete. Cleaned out the tank and the carb. For the next 10 years only threw fuel, lube oil and tires at it. (and a new stainless exhaust) Problem free little bike for the daily commute but sold it to replace it by the FJ.
