I don't post much, however I have been a long time lurker on Vital, Moto-Drive, etc.. Thought I would start a thread on my 84 YZ250 freshen up. This is a bike that was restored 3 or 4 years ago and raced several times a year since. I noticed a couple of cracks in the frame and needed to tear it down and get it welded and add a couple of gussets. The clutch will get a little love with a new basket also along with some other things that need to be done. So this morning the bike was running, now I have this.

I didn't think those frames cracked. I remember the 83 did. Is your bike white like the 85?

Max, one spot had a little corrosion where the weep hole is about an inch from the bottom of the tube.(by the right footpeg) The other spot is near where the cradle meets the downtube.


Tink- my whole plan was to do a MB60 "Tribute Bike"
