Nice. Anytime I got a bike for free it ended up being more to get running than if I just bought one already running lol.

Yeah I have considered that. I always use either clear vinyl or skateboard grip tape on frames for protection. I have rattle canned a couple restorations trying to be cheap and it looked like crap in no time. I can spray it with auto paint (I have that equipment already) but then you still have to be cautious how you touch it up so you don't use incompatible paint or if you respray it takes careful prep work so you don't spray everything else lol. Powder holds up very well because it is approximately twice as thick as paint. I haven't decided but I see pros and cons with either media.

« on: May 29, 2017, 06:30:39 AM »The one thing you can count on with a used bike is it is going to need suspension bushings/bearings.
I have taken a lot of them apart and they all need something and most need everything.
I always tear my new bikes down and lube all that with some good Bel-Ray waterproof grease, it really helps.

I've been having some serious back issues and may be facing surgery #3 so this is back on hold for now. I am trying to find a local place that I think will powder coat the frame for me. That is something I may be able to pull off right now. I also found all the plastic on eBay so I hope to pick it up soon. Finding an OEM silencer in good condition has been tough/impossible, mine is trashed. A place in the UK sells an aftermarket silencer (DEP brand) I may end up buying. It's the only place I found them in stock anyway.

What do you want to use it for? If I was racing, I would probably pick a YZ125 if a Japanese bike was my choice. Not because I like YZ's but because some parts for some bikes are getting hard to procure. I had a 1996 RM125 in 2010 and the engine cases are not available, even then. I had to have a crack welded and always worried about it lol.

Don't get me wrong, I would have helped too. When I was in PA all the neighborhood kids knew they could come to me to get their motorcycles, atv's, and bicycles fixed. You did good man.

Good job on helping out. I don't think a 12 year old should be riding a 250 atv but that's a different story .
