i just got a 1988 rm250 the last owner said it just needs reed valves. how hard are these to change?

Very hard, so hard that I would be doing you a favor by taking it off your hands for $50. Just kidding. Get a manual, some tools, new reeds, a new reed cage gasket and about 15 to 45 mins (depepnding on mechanical abillity).

Remove the seat, silencer and sub frame/airbox. Then the carb and intake/reed. Replace the silencer packing, clean the carb, air filter and air box. Do not over tighten the screws holding the reeds on, they will buckle and not work properly. And the manual. Vintage Bob
