I'm guessing that because I'm putting a straight cone filter and a reverse cone pipe, I should upjet. Maybe I'm wrong, but i think I should upjet of a couple of sizes, because the flow of air will be higher, so the fuel/air mixture should be balanced.

Hi, I'm building a 1975 XL250 K2 and I took the airbox off. I'm looking for larger jets for the stock Keihin carburetor that come on the bike. According to what I read on the net, the carburetor would be a Keihin 645b. Where could I find jets for such a carburetor? Thanks!

Yea, bought em directly from them. Doesn't really matter what currency, you pay via paypal.

There were no flashers on the bike? Weird, cause my bike is the same year as yours and there were no flashers, but the relay was still installed. But I agree that there's no sign of turn signals on the wiring diagram, except for the indicator light. Anyways, I know you said you wanted to keep...

Here's the xl250 I'm building, started out with the same thing as you, built new wheels with a 18'' in the front. Thought you might like to see it. It's not a classic ''tracker'' it's more of a brat tracker, I guess. Crappy pic, I know...

Dirty mimosa Drink a 40 oz of Colt 45 down to the label and fill the rest with orange juice.

Alright, thanks for the input, mikes xs has a good selection, pretty cheap too. Might get something like that http://www.mikesxs.net/product/07-0061.html.

Alright, well if your 185 runs, I guess mine will be fine too. Anyways, the ignition system doesn't go through the battery(don,t know if that's a common thing) . I guess if i put a switch on the headlight and turn it off when starting the bike it will make it easier. Thanks for the input.

Hey, I'm looking to buy a muffler for my brat tracker build, and I have looked at the stuff they have at dimecity, do you guys know of any other place where they sell mufflers on the net?

Hey! I am currently building a 1975 xl250 and I'va stumbled upon this very nice build on pipeburn. I read on the topic that the bike runs on kicker only, no battery. I would really like to do that too, but I just wanted some input on how well this would work. Can I just wire everything to the...

Hey, I just bought the posh factory mini switches and I am using an off/on/off switch on the right as a kill switch. On the website, it is specified that the switch is a Single pole double throw with center off. Here is the question: What happens to the electrical current that goes in the middle...

Alright, then I'll give it a try, it's pretty cheap anyways. Thanks for the input

Hey, I'm looking to replace the original coil on my 1975 XL250 because its rusted to a point where I can't stand leaving it on the bike. The original coil is a TEC AC6V, just like this one...

Hey, I live in MTL, (as you can see in my nick name ...haha) I don't see why not to study in Montreal, it's a very nice city, not too big, so you're not suffocating, yet big enough to have all kinds of different (I mean completely different) neighborhoods and cultures. If you want to go out...
