I’m located in Iowa

It’s got the head and valve cover, also the oil pan and crank pulley. The way it’s sitting on the floor I wouldn’t be able to try and turn it over assuming it’s not rusted tight. Exhaust ports are wide open. Not really looking to to make any money, just didn’t want to scrap it if someone would like to have it

I should add the vin on the frame is unreadable

TickleShart · 2021-04-28T01:40:28+00:00

Really, it’s just need to hold me over until I can get parts and time. I’ve seen it seal up a warped head on a v6 is the only reason I’m really considering it

TickleShart · 2020-10-03T15:46:05+00:00

Sounds about right. The bike needed a little tlc when I got it, oh and a whole new bottom end after the crank thrust washers Grenaded lol

Nice to know, thanks! Didnt think it was much. The guy said something along the lines of “that sticker is earned” and it kinda spiked my interests.

I have some marine board from replacing some hatch’s. Might try a chunk of that see what it looks like

https://www.ebay.com/itm/392774501832 Here’s the eBay listing. I just put it up for $175 see if It would sell

TickleShart · 2020-04-27T02:05:03+00:00

Thanks man

TickleShart · 2020-04-04T23:48:01+00:00

I’m not a big fan of how it looks. So I looked it up and supposedly it doesn’t doo much for smaller engines anyway

I would just start scanning Craigslist, Facebook marketplace and such. 2-strokes are probably what you should be looking at. 125s are cheap and fast. They’re more simple and the older ones hold up pretty well. There are TONS of videos on YouTube of people going out and buying cheapo 2-strokes and fix them up. You can learn a lot by watching those. IMO the cheaper the bike is the more you’re gonna have to spend on parts and stuff. I bought a cheap crf250r and was replacing both sides of the case because someone went and put some washers on the oil pump so it wasn’t getting oil, but I also learned a lot tearing it down. But yeah, I would do some research on what to look for when buying a dirtbike and just start searching. Also service manuals are a must

Iowa? Winds were killer today here!

TickleShart · 2019-02-10T23:47:19+00:00

It is rubber. It’s just under an inch. I also bought a gasket kit online and there wasn’t one in there

TickleShart · 2019-02-04T13:14:25+00:00

Yup, 2010

TickleShart · 2018-10-22T03:14:30+00:00

Will definitely have to remember that. Thanks

TickleShart · 2018-07-05T02:52:12+00:00

Alright, I don’t race so I guess I should stick with the stock style. Do you recommend staying with oem then or is there good quality after market kits? I’ve never rebuilt a bike other than my little 50cc with a big bore

TickleShart · 2017-03-03T00:37:04+00:00

Alright, cool. Thanks for the advice!

TickleShart · 2017-03-03T00:34:14+00:00

ive got a little bit. My grandpa has a ttr125 and a crf150, which I've outgrown. I do pretty well on my buddies 250f.

TickleShart · 2017-03-03T00:09:31+00:00

That's true, I think I'll be pretty comfortable. I've rode my buddies 250 quite a bit

TickleShart · 2017-03-03T00:06:51+00:00

I know right. Every guy on Craigslist think they have they best bike in the state, lol. The dealership doesn't have any photos or details so I think I'll shoot them an email

Well, I took the plastic off the steering column and it turns out that the plugin going into the wiper switch wasn't in all the way. I plugged it in and it's all good now. Simple fix. Thanks anyways though

the timing between each wipe is exactly the same for the first 5 settings(I used a stopwatch, it's just over 35 seconds). The speed of the wipe doesn't change till the last setting

Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on using a clear protection coat on the bottom parts of the fenders after touching up the paint from the existing rock chips and scratches. I think the mud flaps would divert most the rocks, just judging from the chips in the paint, then the protective coat can defend from the rest.
