Hello Folks.

Back in July I bought two xs250's and today they were finally delivered.

The Black one has dodgy front brakes, so I need to strip them so it is easier to push.

Slopped a new battery on her and all the lights work, the engine turns over but there is no spark at the plugs.

Will see if I can get it to run tomorrow.

I have stuck her in the shed for now, will strip it down for a resto later this year.

The Green one has a soft front brake, loose silencers and has loads of tatt adorning it.

Swapped the battery over from the other one and nothing, no lights or anything.

Engine turns over on the kick start and has compression.

After some cleaning of connectors I managed to get the lights working and a spark at the plugs, soo tank back on, plugs back in and fuel tap set to prime.

Lots of kicks later, starter button is missing on the handlebars (but there are 3 spare switch cluster in the spares pile) she fired up. Need to put fresh fuel in the tank as it has not run for 7 years, but it runs. yaaaay.

So the strip down and refurb can start on it.

Tony.

good luck with those then 🙂 I find that I have enough to do keeping chain tensioned, oil changes, tyre checks etc on my one bike lol.
