[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1342393, member: 68872"] My son has a '96 YZ-250 and I have a '97 WR-250 which is essentially the same bike. They are great bikes. $1500 is an OK price but not great. My son and I both paid that for our bikes a couple of years ago when the economy was in much better shape. The fact that it still has the original chain and sprocket worries me a little. These things wear out and should be replaced. If the bike had been garaged for the last 10 years then it would be OK (but probably still needs to be changed) but if the bike has been used a normal amount then I would suspect that general maintenance has not been kept up. If they didn't change the chain and sprockets I doubt they would have rebuilt the top end. Chains, sprockets and top ends are best rebuilt before they fail as a failure can cause a lot of expensive damage. My recommendation is to plan on a top end rebuild ($250) and new chain & sprockets ($100). Rod [/QUOTE]
