my intro

[PAlt250r]

I've been lurking on this site for a couple weeks, figured i should introduce myself. I bought an 87 lt250r off of a friend a few weeks ago, i'm in the process of getting it put together and running. this is my first 2stroke so i'm pretty much shying away from doing any major mods to it for now. actually i don't even really know what all has been done to it before, other than it looks like there has been some polishing done in the exhaust port before, and it is bored .010" over, but needs bored again.
The kid i bought it off of told me that the last time he had it running, over a year and a half ago, it was sticking in gear. I'm assuming that is because the clutch basket is grooved pretty badly, so that is getting replaced while i have it apart.
Hopefully i'll have it running within 2 weeks and be able to ride it instead of my atc200s. I'll post pics after its reassembled.

well atleast you made the right decision buying a 2-stroke. They are pretty easy to work on just get a manual and you will be all set.

Welcome to the site if you have any questions just let us know.
