AustinFitz90 Started a new thread Selling my 1990 YZ250
6/4/2016 8:43am Bike hasn't been run in a while, but it was running when it was put up about 3 months ago. Pretty much all original besides some oversized GPI radiators, and an aluminum Boyesen Racing stator cover. I'm asking $800 OBO picked up from Bush, Louisiana. Text (985)-259-6963 for more info.

2/22/2016 2:00am Awesome bike! I'll definitely be following this build. I actually just started on a 1990 myself. I've been trying to decide between just sprucing it up a bit, and doing a full on bare frame restoration. I've been leaning towards going all the way, and I think your '91 just made up my mind on that. Can't wait to see...

1/6/2016 9:43pm There is a '92 on Craigslist near me for $450. I've been considering trying to pick it up. It looks rough, but also looks to be all there and together. Too bad I'm in southeastern Louisiana lol

12/28/2015 7:30pm That's a beautiful collection you have there! And yeah I'm in no hurry. This 125 was free though, so I couldn't pass it up.

12/28/2015 3:30am Got it started!! The crankcase was flooded. I had the carb off already, so I pulled the reed cage, the pipe, and the plug. Pushed it around in gear a bit and got some of the fuel out, but ultimately ended up almost flipping the bike to get it all out. I took the petcock apart and cleaned it out...

12/28/2015 3:30am Hello all! I'm new to the forum, and to dirt bikes as well actually. I've wanted one ever since I can remember, but my parents could never afford to buy my brother and I bikes. My dad rode motorcycles all throughout his life, and I'd always beg him to take me with him to the local cycle shops when he...

12/26/2015 2:30am Oh yeah I'm happy with what I paid for it, even if it does need a little work like you said. I can't wait to get it running right! I had a HUGE grin plastered across my face the couple of times I have ridden it. The only other 2 stroke I had been on before this was a tired...

12/25/2015 2:42am Think I found my problem lol. I believe a leaking petcock, and a worn out o-ring on the float valve seat inside the carb have filled my crankcase with fuel. I noticed my tank was almost empty after I rode it the other day, but just figured the bike wasn't the most fuel efficient. I filled it a bit more...

12/24/2015 5:15pm Just pulled the plug and checked it against the head. It's got a blue spark

12/24/2015 9:46am Well it WAS running... Rode it once or twice and had nothing but problems since. I can't even get it to start now. I've pretty much done all the easy things like a new plug, clean carb, clean air filter, new fuel line, etc. I'm kind of worried the top end may be toast... Here are a few pics with...

12/23/2015 5:49pm Thanks! After checking it over it seems to be pretty much all original except for some new radiators the previous owner had put on. The worst part about it is that it looks like the plastics and tank were painted white sometime in the 90s, and then again sometime in the early 2000s. A few spots on the frame look...

12/23/2015 5:11pm Yeah I'd have grabbed it to resell if I would have had the cash! It's still for sale though. I saw the guy bump the ad today. I gave $450 for the 1990

12/23/2015 4:00pm Thanks guys! Those 2 pics are actually from the for sale ad. It's been raining here nonstop since I bought the bike, so I haven't gotten a chance to clean it up and take any pics of my own. The 2007 YZF was also for sale, but a little out of my price range at $1,200. I'm more of a...
