hey lowlife you still looking for a MX250?

i checked no cage and filter is in very bad condition, twin shock is right about AMS racing.

I will go to my storage in the morning and see i may have one laying around, i know for sure i have a extra seat and cylinder, but i cant remember if the air filter and cage were any good, sorry about the sprocket, i baught a 53 from him two weeks ago and it bolted right on. i guess i did not check the auction close enough. i will post in the morning on the are filter and cage.

those sprockets are on ebay all the time, ebay item# 360127645178 they fit a wide variety of yamahas from about 1971-1974 MX DT AT1 SC500 the ebay seller with that item number has 3 for sale.Yamaha has a online parts catalog i use it all the time to compare parts and part numbers. yamaha is the master of reusing older parts on more current designs so if you dig deep enough you can still find most engine parts new it just takes a lot of leg work. good luck on your restore.

sorry about taking so long to get back to you. yes i am still interested in selling the MX250. my email is [email protected]. we can exchange some pictures.

besides the pain the worst part is the all liquid diet for a couple of weeks. are you going to race it when you get done, if so the works performance shock is the only way to go. my 1980 YZ465 has one it was night and day difference in the performance. no more yamahop in the woops or braking bumps. the only way i would stay with the stock one is if i were restoring the yz to showroom specs and not racing.

you can buy a works performance shock for the same price as a rebuild thats what i did, the best place i have found for a seat cover was VRM racing out of portland he has the best quality and fit for around $35, he also has a ebay store. DC plastics makes complete plastic kits including brand new tanks, they also have a ebay store. vintage Iron out of fresno california is another good source but a bit pricey. I sorry for taking so long to answer had to go to the emergancy room, had a rupture in my colon. just got home. i will do some research on the shock rebuilding for you incase you want to keep it original.

thats cool iv got a 79yz 400 that i love, those older yzs are cool, if you want to chat about yz's once you get it let me know i have been building and racing yz's since 1975 and currently own 6, good luck on your restore.

are you still looking for a yamaha mx250 i have a 1974 that runs. it is complete even has the original fork brace, i also have some extra parts and climber repair book. the mx runs but it needs a head gasket i have a brand new base gasket for it. it has a cheep set of tires that are almost new. i was thinking $700 let me know if you would be interested and i will shoot you some pictures.
