VTR 2fiddy parts bike

Ah man you rock! Thanks for saving my bacon.

I forgot, mine had a spring, but I wonder if I put it on the wrong way or something. I have never taken this style apart so when the last screw came out the entire assembly shot across the work bench.

 

Just disable the vacuum and move on. It will only screw you over like an appendix on a sailing vessel.

 

Update:

front end is back together and now it is time to flip the bike around and replace the nasty stock shock with a less rusty unit. Chain to be replaced as well.
Seems to be holding oil and coolant so far so that is a bonus. Still waiting on my carb bowl seals. eBay jacked up my timeline.

 

Outside, oh whaaaa.

 

Now that’s a great picture!

my vtr250 is almost the only one of my bikes ive ridden for the past 5-8 years --- its light, efficient, handles well and has the right amount of power for getting around any city ---------- you'll love the little thing when u find out how much fun it is to ride and wonder why anyone would need more power
