Summer Update: will make some more mods to the bike as time permits, Bike is an absolute blast to drive, i have left it gritty as i like the look much better and painting the tank was way too much $$$. Gets tons of compliments.
The battery not charging issue was easily resolved by replacing...
I think I have an alternator issue with my 1980 Yamaha SR250, battery runs out of juice and this might or might not be related to the following (I am using an 8 cell Anti Gravity battery)
Bike starts and runs great but after running for a few miles when I come to a stop and bike is in neutral...
I think i have an issue with my Alternator on my 1980 SR250 , recently my bike just gave up on a stop light, i tried to clutch start it by giving it a push but nothing, i took the battery off, charged it and it started working again.
My assumption was that the battery on this bike is only...
Btw as far as charing my AntiGravity battery i hooked it up to my car battery via jumper cables, started the car and kept the car running for 15-20 minutes. These were the instructions on how to recharge the battery on the AntiGravity website. That did seem to work.
Also just to be clear - Just...
I installed AntiGravity 4 Cell battery on my 1980 SR250 - The annoying problem seems to be that whenever i try to start the bike after it has been sitting overnight or a couple of days then i get 3-4 tries out of the battery to get the bike running before it runs out of battery and just starts...
Slow but steady progress as i can only work on the bike on the weekends. Still fidling with the seat but was able to get it to mount on the motorcycle, i will likely need to re-rivet the little bars on the seat to make them fit better under the seat. Installed a little angle at the back of the...
So i got the Seat from MotoLanna and it would be tricky to install it on the bike. Anybody install it yet ?
Basically the two metal pieces have no where to go under the fuel tank and i will have to cut them (in width) in half to get them to go under the tank.
I also have to drill two holes...
Thanks for your feedback. I should add that i have had bikes for a few years so experienced rider but havent done much with maintenance as most of them been Fuel injected and needs nothing more than an oil change and other basic maintenance. I should also add that i dont plan on using this as my...
Another Noob question
What does 'Repinned' refer to in this situation. Is this the factory speedo for the Virago and/or how can i find one like this.
Thanks
So my 1980 SR250 Exciter does not come with a factory Tach. But i have seen other non USA versions that seem to have a factory Tach. Do you guys know if it is possible to install a Tach on my SR250. Is it some sort of hidden feature that you just have to connect yourself (kinda like the kick...
Minor updates are coming along. I will try to get some work done over this long weekend.
Does anyone know if there is a way to install the Tachometer on the bike and if there is then instructions on how ? I bought the Tach and cant figure out how to install it now.
Here is a pic of the bike...
so my goal is to build a simplistic looking SR250, inspired by SR250 Mexico / Rachel and aim to keep it under $2500. I choose SR250 cause its a fairly simple motorcycle and i dont know much about motorcycles at all. So i figured it would be a great learning experience. And every project bike...
