[QUOTE="TVRider, post: 603771, member: 36242"] I talked to the guy I bought the 250 from, and he said he has a 74 400 WR that he is currently rebuilding. This guy has Huskys everywhere! The article you pointed me to by Rick Siemen rated that bike 9 *'s. The frame is painted but nothing else. He is willing to sell that when he's done, but doesn't know what he'll have in it yet. He thinks he also has a couple other 400's that are original but not complete. He talked like he would sell one of those for $400-$500 and he would rebuild the motor if I would pay for parts. That's starting to sound interesting. Regarding the 250 OR that I bought, he said it has a Motoplat ignition. When I asked about the latest engine work, he didn't know but thought that as good as it runs it probably at least has fresh rings. He has been through the entire bike but never touched the engine 'cause it ran so good. The shocks are the original Ohlins that he rebuilt. They feel a little soft on compression but the rebound seems pretty good. The fork seals are leaking just a little, but he recommended just riding it for a while and not mess with them. Are all the Huskey kickstarters bent? When I kick it left footed, my boot wants to slip right off because of the angle when it reaches the bottom of the stroke. If I kick it right footed the angle doesn't seem to be much of a factor. He wasn't sure about that but offered to take the kick starter off any of the other 3 250's he has of the vintage and give it to me in exchange. I'll keep you posted after my first long ride tomorrow evening. Tom [/QUOTE]
