Well I bought a really bad looking 1996 CR250. The bike has spark and good compression. It worked when the prevoius owner bought it a year ago. He decided it was too much of a project after sitting in his garage for a year and sold it to me for $450. The bike looks bad. It has been spray painted. Even the plastic is painted. The shocks need seals, the case has JB weld, and the tires need to be replaced. Someone must have added a hydraulic clutch to it.
I figured I would see if it will start. Then take it apart and get rid of the spray paint. Put Neal seals in the shocks, new tires, and whatever else it needs to get it decent. What do you think?

Great find.

Those are indeed Yamaha forks. Hondas have squared axle lugs not rounded. Also the fork guard and guard guide set up is quite different. Most likely pre 04 Yz forks. Measure the bottom sanctions. If they are 48mm they are 04 and if they are smaller they are older.
Also, what kind of oil do I put in the rear shock?
Decent fork but nothing special imo
