[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 209017, member: 3959"] Guess who is the proud new owner of a 1999 YZ250... Drove to the inner city hood of Phoenix, when I got there and the kid brought it out and I started looking it over, checked the VIN to see if it matched the frame, all the usual stuff, and was about to start checking for spark and what-not when I asked the kid if it would start. He said it'll start when it choked only. I thought okay, we'll see what happens. So I pulled the choke and it started on the first kick, and revved like a 2-stroke should. I was sold right there. I thought no-way was it gonna start at all. So after looking at for another 5 minutes or so I said, "I'm interested, let me see how much is left of my paycheck" I whipped out $520 from a money envelope like the kind you get when you cash a paycheck and said "this is what I got". Then I pulled out another 7 dollars from my pocket and he asked, "is that all you got?" I said "that's it." He said "I'll take that". He helped me load it up, gave me a stand for it, and an extra ramp. Now that it's home I see that it has a Jun 2016 California registration sticker, and a Clarke tank which looks to be oversize???, an FMF muffler, and possibly different handlebars. Also looks like there is a lot of oily residue at the header pipe to cylinder attachment point. Also, I must be "catching up" as M33 stated I need to do, cuz I have 9 bikes in my garage right now...
