[QUOTE="Moparman1539, post: 1202991, member: 72242"] I just bought a 1983 KX250. It was at a very reasonable price. Runs great, started on 3rd kick. And it looked like it was taken care of. (The guy we bought it off of said he was afraid to ride it, And it does have a lot of power. ) Well. when i first jumped on it got into second gear and hit a wee little bump and it launched me to a standing position on the bike , i concluded the rear shock needed fixed. I have a Clymer Service manual for it. It helps, but not enough. It has a oil/nitrogen bottle on the side of it. And its empty.(or at least i think it is). It also has a damper clicker wheel on the shock.(i cant remember what its called) It has 4 settings on it, 1 being the softest, and 4 being the stiffest. Well... I cant find it. I found a big screw on the shock to tighten the spring, but no little nob. The service manual has a drawn picture of where it should be, but i don't see it. Any ideas of where it is, and if i need to refill the shock or fix it or what. Its kind of hard to ride when it launches you in the air on a bump. Also it was missing the side number panels. I would like it to be there because it would make it look better. But i cant find them ANYWHERE, Not for an 83' at least. Does anyone know what years would be able to fit onto it? Or where i can find them? (i looked on Bike bandit, and epay, and Rockey mountain atv, and Dennis kirk. And i didn't find anything. Only front fenders, and front brake covers. Ideas? Also i cant seem to find any info or reviews on this bike. Anyone know where i can get some info? Overall i am VERY happy with it. Even for an 83' KX250 it doesn't look as old as you would think it would. And it runs REALLY well. Fast, good bottom end, and good power delivery. FAST!!! And i am happy that i have a "real" dirt bike. Here are some pictures of this BEAST!!! ;) [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/DaShrub/DSC01007.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/DaShrub/DSC01006.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/DaShrub/DSC01009.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/DaShrub/DSC01014.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
