2005 Yamaha YZ250
For Sale!!!
I had been thinking about getting a 2-stroke 250 and off-road-izing it. Kicking around on Craigslist, I found a listing in Albuquerque for a YZ250 outfitted almost exactly to my specs- flywheel weight, large tank, handguards, skid plate, trail computer, pipe and spark arrestor silencer, Scotts triple clamps, re-valved suspension, and much more. Long story short, I bought it from the 61 yr old owner (who'd moved to a KTM 300). It's a great bike but I unfortunately have not had time to go off-road riding like I hoped. Thus, it's for sale. And in the meantime, I'm still riding it.
Here's how the bike looked when I brought it home. I actually have already added the rear fender stickers in this shot.
And a little later, we have this-
I first of all don't like fully enclosed hand guards- they're heavy and I'm afraid of getting my hands caught in them. So, they went on the shelf and some Acerbis open guards went on. Second thing was that I found a see-thru tank on Ebay, complete with brackets and petcock. I bought it, moved my other set of brackets and petcock to the stock tank, and then sold the white tank on the 'bay. Now I can see my gas level.
I also siliconed the Trail Tech computer into the bar pad. This works well.
Ahhhh....two strokes!
