Hello all!
I briefly joined, and made one per about a knackered 400n i had before I decided to sell It!
However I am now back with a silver and blue 250n which is my daily ride.
She is working (ish) but her list of ailments are notable! Expect several help requests from me! She is super comfy though and when I'm not being stroppy I do rather like the old thing!
List of ailments...
Hunts for revs Flat spots and bogs out Will top out around 60mph Centre stand goes up to high so hits the chain She always wants to roll forward off of the centre stand Thus springing wouldn't start until she backfired a bit and then went! Indicators work on a if hey feel like it basis.
Not an ailment but I do want a rear rack for her lol
Think that's It!
Still, nice bike though!

Thanks guys! Yes I do think a carb rebuild is required, have ordered all the bits! Let's hope my skills stretch to It, or the depleted wallet will have to!
Duffer I would indeed be interested, although i can't work out how to send you a PM! 🤦♂️
Will also post a pic of the bike when I can work out how!
