picked up another big red 250!

[Jones]

got my brother to pick up this 85 big red last night because i was working, got it for 1100 and it runs mint. just noticed the tank was patched but looks ok. engine runs mint. my brother said it makes a clunking sound in reverse on a hill. didnt do it in the back yard this morning when i started it up and rode it. what u guys think it is? u joint?

My guess my be gear in differential but if it is ujoint i have a good shaft cheap if you need one

[Jones]

damn i really hope its not the diff! i had a good one a while back and sold it. theres only a slight bit of play in forward but if trailprotrailpro in a forward gear and coasting backwards it makes a binding/clunking sound. does it in reverse sometimes but not always

took them for a ride in merritt bc. both rode great but the newer one got a flat front tire at the end of the day. the rubber was cracked so im guessing thats where it leaked.

I like the trail riding you are doing. I have thought about doing that, and maybe making a small utility trailer to pull and carry my gear in using big red wheels and tires. Maybe also haul a spare or two (you can remove the Schrader valve and smash those tires down into squares). Use some old beater big red fenders as part of the trailer design.
