As the subject title says, i'm restoring a 1981 sr250. Rather, that's what i'm trying to do...
The subtitle for the build is "What does this bit do?" due to the frequency of this phrase popping out of my mouth throughout the length of this build. I can admit that I don't have a flippin' clue about motorcycles. As a 15 year old in the UK, i'm much too young to legally be able to ride, meaning i don't even know the little bits of info you learn about your bike through riding them. None of my family are bikers, so i don't have that experience. I literally don't have a clue what i've got myself into by starting this resto project...
We'll see how it goes.......
Onto the bike: An 81 yamaha sr250, pretty uncommon in the UK i believe. I got it as a total wreck! We'll, i'm not sure it even qualifies to be called that. Multiple parts were missing, and what was there was rusty or partially broken, a result of the bike not being ridden in 15 years, being unloved and being open to the elements for all of that time.
The shots below show the situation...
