Hi All, Have begun the search for parts to lightly restore/refresh my CBX250RSE and have downloaded the service manual, but because the model is pretty rare I am having difficulty in getting some parts. A Parts manual/list would be really useful but I can't seem to find one on-line. There are Japanese auction sites selling Japanese versions of the parts book but they are pretty pricey (almost €100 including shipping to my neck of the woods) Any advice would be welcome.

The engine was based on the XR series with particular links to the XR350 bottom end, including a six speed gearbox and the same oil pump. The stroke is also the same, but the bore reduced to bring the capacity down to 249cc. The balance shaft was also discarded, with the engine instead being rubber mounted. Unlike any other XR engine the top was given two camshafts. The bike was also equipped with dual carburettors, only one of which was equipped with a pilot circuit and which open different amounts depending on how much the throttle is twisted. The CBX250RS-E was sold in the United Kingdom between 1984 and 1986 where it was a sales flop, being more expensive than the CB250RS which was still on sale at the time and not being notably better. The release was also tarnished with stories of bikes wearing out camshafts and rockers very quickly. In the end an estimated 300 were sold. The model had stronger sales in Japan but was soon replaced by the GB250 which was styled as a cafe racer; this model was successfully sold in Japan until the year 2000 with only minor changes, the most notable of which was the move to using a single carburettor.
Many thanks, have tried David silver and Wemoto, they do a few bits and pieces but would really love to source a parts list so I can cross reference what parts may be shared on other models.
If your looking for second hand parts ... Try "findapart" it links you to motorcycle wreckers Australia wide ... I found this website very useful. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks Dee, I will give it a go but postage would probably be very expensive as I am in Ireland. Appreciate the tip though, many thanks.
Yes maybe ... Ahahaha but on saying that I have sourced parts worldwide with competitive prices including postage ... Best of
