The rear spring is adjusted fairly soft, and I left it there just to get a starting point to work from. So my next steps are going to be stiffen up that rear...
I got my 83' 250 last fall. It had the top end rebuilt 5 years ago and then sat in my buddies basement for 4 years with fuel in it. I cleaned the carb and put...
If it ran great for 20 minutes after cleaning the carb, I would say that you are getting gunk in the carb from the tank. I let my IT sit for a few years once...
Went out to ride in the Tillamook State Forest out of Rogers Camp today. It was between 38 and 43 degrees most of the afternoon and pouring rain except for...

They only used one spark plug but they did have 2 holes. You can just stick another plug in the other hole. They don't need a battery but you do need to make...
Something weird happened today. I was in the garage, lubing my clutch cable. I am going on a ride on Saturday and when I had the bike out last, the clutch...
