I picked up a 1991 KX250 in pretty decent shape for $750 and plan to trail ride it. I have a couple questions that I could use some input on. Please help if you can. Thanks :)
1. Someone told me that you can download service manuals for these machines for around $10, but they didn't provide a link. Any chance someone knows where these are?
2. I need to rebuild the rear shock. How tough is this to do? There is no damping action at all right now (I assume no oil is left). The shock rod is wet with oil (bad seal).
Note: I have no money... so my only option is an at home rebuild. I have a friend who can charge it for me and know I would need new seals.
3. I was considering getting a flywheel weight to smooth out the power (lessen the hit) for woods riding (Yes... I ride slow). I was told about the Moose torque spacer and wondering if this would accomplish the same thing for less money? Or if the FWW is the way to go. Limited buget, but want to buy something that will work for sure.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
