Where do I sign up for the "tank drop" kit??? Yes please......

That front wheel has some serious attitude. That is the one thing that I have been pondering since I started tinkering with my 81 SR several months ago.... You seem to have found an amazing looking solution, although I am still curious about the performance. A+ on appearance! Can't wait to see...

Partzilla would be a good bet for that part, or others for that matter..... Let us know how the build goes, and best of luck!

This topic has been covered quite a bit, but I believe the TT250 & XT250 will work.

Re: Yamaha SR250TH Exciter - Newbie Resto The ignition can easily be replaced. They are a dime a dozen on ebay. The gas cap could be a different story. If you want to keep everything keyed the same, then yes, have it re-keyed. If you are having electrical issues, make sure you use a...

Lets see it BG! Sweet lookin' bike you got there.......

Bummer! I do that all the time.... My tires are actually in great shape, it's just a preference thing for me. I still need a new seat and a hoop, and figure out how to fab up a battery box.....and about a thousand other wants- So the rubber will have to wait for me too. I think BG dialed it in...

Deven, How that new tire situation work out? I have been staring at my skinny tires for a while and it's driving me crazy.....

Tim- I had a feeling those were my only options. I'll start removing what isn't needed. Too much extra wire and connectors that just don't need to be there. I guess this will be yet another learning experience. I didn't know too much about motorcycles other than how to ride them, but this...

So I decided to upgrade my headlight and speedo on my old SR. Step 1, remove old stock crap. Step 2, install new parts- which took 3 times longer than I thought it would because I had to fabricate a new headlight bracket.. Step 3, wiring. Although this does not come naturally to me, I am...

I love it! Your fever is just beginning....... Keep the pics coming! I picked up an 81 SR250 a couple months ago and spent more on the bike than I should have, so I had to go the same budget route to begin with. My bike didnt have a functioning brake light either, so I used a spray paint cap, a...

Ha! Not quite, but it worked, fit the budget, and I didn't have to stop riding- and my new DCC brake light showed up today! Maybe I've seen too many Macgyver episodes... Thanks Krafty!

Great. That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

I have browsed thru the posts about installing kickstart assemblies, but I still have questions. I have an 81 Yamaha sr250. I would like to install a kickstart, and trying to figure out what is compatible. I understand that a tt250 or xt250 would work, but I was wondering if one from an xt500 or...

Thanks for the welcome! I live in Paso Robles... about 30 Mi from the coast......
