There's no oil sight glass! got a dipstick. Seperate air filter boxes and lever type carbs, doesn't appear to have a rubber mounted engine either. I guess there's dozens of different variations - I just thought the different models would have been documented a little better. There must be dealer info etc out there somewhere. I've got it running anyway - just be nice to know exactly what model it is. thanks for the reply- cheers, Dan

Hi - I'm new on here and looking for some info on a 1980 XS 250. I've bought this ole' thing with intentions of restoring it back to new/original condition - it seems pretty complete, and apart from not running since 1986 doesn't seem in bad nick. I've spent a few hours looking through the net but there doesn't seem to be much info on this particular model, or XS 250's in general. Front disc, rear drum - it's not the US custom/cruiser type or the square one! niether is the model launched in 1980 which had the typical modernistic 80's styling!!! ( any of that make sense?) As far as I know it's a UK spec bike. I've read a few conflicting things about what was made and when it was changed etc. If I knew how to post a photo on here I would!!!!!! so this is the best I can do. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=110260037679 Any info or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan
