Local pickup only. Bike is available for inspection locally. 1982 Honda XL 250R. 3965 miles. Vin# JH2HF0317FS006730 Clean title in my name, currently registered(month tag says Aprl, but expires July 8 2015, the DMV did not give me the month tag when I registered it) Guy I bought the bike from said he was the original owner(have not verified that) When I got it, it had 88 tags, and owner said it had been sitting in his garage 27 years(from the layer of dust on it, I'm pretty sure that was accurate) Please see below video of the bike being rode(please forgive the video quality, took it with a I-phone in my shirt pocket) Now the details....Original owner had drained the fuel before storage, and the tank is perfect inside. The front tire has been replaced, the rear tire has some dry rot and needs replacement. The cam plug has been replaced and valve cover resealed(cam plug leaked)New air filterNew plugNew float and carb bowl gasketOil has been changed with Castrol 10-40 motorcycle oilStarts, does not smoke, no oil leaks, runs and rides. Has good power and climbs hills no problem. All the electrics work and wiring harness is unmolested. All the original parts, lights, blinkers, ect, are on the bike. Things that need fixingFuel seeps/slow drip from the accelerator pump cover on carburetor. The accelerator pump diaphragm needs replacement. I have been unable to locate this part.There is a very faint ticking when cold that goes away when warmed up, maybe an exhaust leak/possibly needs a valve adjust, or could be something else, I'm not a motorcycle mechanic, so I don't know for sure.Back tire has dry rot and needs replacementHas one key, if you want a spare, you have to have one madeThe coil/spark plug wire insulation is stiff. Not cracked or arcing, but may need replacement in the near future.It has various scuffs and scratches in the finish, but is in good condition for it's age. Please see below video for bike being rode.
