The latest from the shed. 1989 Yamaha AG250 (AG=ag-bike) that I fitted an electric start SR250 (road bike) engine into. I acquired the engine and frame through different deals over the years and as part of cleaning up my shed so the kids don't have to when I'm gone I got in and put these together. Had to bend the front down tube slightly to fit the electric starter but everything bolted up otherwise. Had some head scratching to get the 6 volt wiring to work with the 12 volt system of the SR engine. Some left over paint from my FT Honda and some black, bits from a few other different bikes I had on the shelf and it all goes and rides nice. I plan to register this one to ride on the dirt ride days while I do some work on my XL250s. And this was what I started with.
Absolutely fantastic work as always, that was more of a resurrection than a restoration and it looks better than it ever did new
Been having trouble with the 34mm Kiehin I had fitted so bought a 30mm Chinese copy. I had to weld up an adapator to fit the new rubber intake to PZ carb, some machining required, and had to make a plastic fitting to go from the 60mm intake rubber down to the 42mm on the carb. I flared it internally to make a velocity stack and fitted in nice. Had to increase the pilot jet from #40 to #55 but otherwise it runs nice.
