KT250 resto...help appreciated

[Bigem]

Just about finished.

Decided not to go with the Kawasaki green/white for the time being, I am running out of time to get it semi-sorted before CD8.

And after all, the bike has to share the shed with quite a few yellow-ish bikes........

Very swish and distinctive

[Bigem]

It looks pretty good in the flesh.

I was pleasantly surprised when it started 2nd kick and sat there idling away like a bought one.

New crankcase seals and a carby kit have freshened it up a bit(top end was new anyway)

Once I bled the autolube pump I took it for a ride and its surprisingly punchy off the bottom, not TL320 punchy, but okay.

Has no brakes to speak of, but I suspected that would be the case.

I will throw some new shoes in, the old ones where borderline but thought I would see how they where: no good.

I think its going to be a great bike and am looking forward to spending many hours on it.

Hi
Great job. I've just had some issues with my own front mudguard. What bracket did you use?

Ross

[Bigem]

I got lazy Ross and just drilled the new guard to fit the original centre bracket that holds the brake adjuster.

Its got just a little bit of flex in the guard but it works just fine.

The after-market guard isn't quite as wide as the original guard.

My original guards are quite good so I will get them cleaned up for when it becomes a green bike again.
