I was on Facebook on Monday, a friend of mine posted that he needed to clean out his garage. he posted a picture of this bike (87 SRX250) with a caption that read "First $250 Takes it!" he had posted this 8 hours before I saw it, so I looked at the replies and to my surprise no one said "I want it!" so I posted "I'll take it", I also PM'd him and called him, but got no reply until several hours later he messaged me and told me he would call me the next day after he gets off work. needless to say, I rushed over to his house and picked this little baby up.
I got it to my shop and immediately started to check it out. after cleaning a really varnished but surprisingly rust free fuel tank, removing and cleaning the carburators,resealing the petcock, replacing one fuel hose, and borrowing a battery from my DR650. it runs very well, and is an absolute hoot to ride. I am awaiting new gaskets and o-rings for the carbs and I need to replace the chain and sprockets, but other than those items it seems to need nothing else.
