Yamaha YZ description

I have my old 96 yamaha yz250 available for sale. I just finished with a tear down to the frame and rebuild in which all the bearings were inspected for wear and either cleaned and lubed or replaced. The Rims were trued up straight hubs inspected and lubed, All the cables were inspected and lubed. The front forks were rebuilt with new seals and fork oil. The rear shock was tested and serviced. . The tires sprockets and chain have lots of life left. The top end of the engine was completely rebuilt. The cylinder was inspected and well within wear tolerance specs. The factory bore cylinder walls were honed and new oem genuine yamaha piston, rings, wrist pin and bearing and gasket kit . The lower end of the engine was pressure tested and crank bearings and rod bearings are within specs. Carb was cleaned. I bought new boysen reeds for it along with the piston kit but never received them. however they did not look to be real bad. So it could maybe need new ones in the future which are $50 for good ones and six bolts to install them. other than that this bike is mechanically in terrific shape. and not bad shape physically as well. Got alot of time and money into this rebuild but I bought a four stroke. And this bike is too big for my girl. Mid to late 90`s Yz 250`s are in my opinion 1 of the best handling bikes ever built. this is a great bike for $1199 interested please call.
