I am the second owner of this bike. Original owner, owned the local Yamaha shop.
It has a long rod kit installed along with the YZ60 ignition and other Yamaha wrench reports recommendations.
Thinking of letting it go since I have had it a few years and can’t seem to find the time to work on it.

What benefit does the 60 ignition have in a 250?

Love it. Here's a few pics of mine. Did you notice much difference with the carb swap? Is your cylinder stock?

I've got Boysen reeds, DG silencer, added an Ohlins shock, and rest is stock.

Here's my 83' 250K. The rebuild started as a simple clean up... that plan has changed!
