New bike (PICS)

[hancadam]

This is getting out of hand. I now have 6 trikes. This 85 250sx is the newest addition. It is in incredible shape. New tires, plastic perfect, tank perfect, and runs perfect. It is 100% complete. I also bought a nice 125m and blown 200e Big Red last weekend. The red is getting the top end rebuilt. Let me know what you guys think. Try to guess what I am paying for it.
Current line up
1983 185s great shape
1985 ATC70 Lifan project
1982 200e Being Rebuilt
1984 125m Wifes Ride
1984 200s Roller
1985 250sx Great shape

Trail Pros on the Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Nice trike - I'll guess you are getting a good deal at a cool $500

[hancadam]

Do trail pros suck???
Your very close on the price.

[RedRider_AK]

We have a whole thread about Trail Pro's, if you search Trikesylvania for it :lol:

I'm guessing $450? That's a nice SX for any price, though :)

[ATCT]

Really nice. If you get some new OHTSU's on it, it'll look nearly new.

[hancadam]

It was a old mans that died, then sat in the garage for a long time. His wife finally decided to clean out the garage and was going to throw it away. Her neighbor "hauled it off" for 50 bucks. He put these new tires on it and had a shop rebuild the carb. This owner then sold it to his buddy. Thats who I am getting it from. 600 Bucks.

[hancadam]

On the specs page it shows the 185s and 250sx have the same size tire. If so I will put the almost new ITP mudlites on my 185s on it.

[hancadam]

Anything I need to watch out for on these bikes?

[Tri-Z Pilot]

Those things are hard to kill, I never had any probs with mine, it would even run upside down. lol

[Tri-Z Pilot]

You cant get on him too much about the trail pro's, he only has one:D

[jasonb01]

That is nice! I'll give you $620 for it.:lol:
I would change the diff. fluid and drive the piss out of it. It will last forever. Oh, and if it needs a new battery, be sure to buy the right one. The $25 battery fits it, but you need the $50 battery that it calls for.;) Would have been nice to be on the deal that the $50 guy got.:drool:

[mdskinner731]

not to shabby good find

[factoryX]

nice and shiny...

[BigReds Forever]

You can only use 9" large bell rims, or larger on the rear, due to the big drum brake. If im not mistaken, the 185 has 8" rims. Your gonna love that rear suspension over your other rides!

[hancadam]

Suspension is nice but not that big of a deal to me. I have previously had a 83 200x and a 86 200x. They where awesome but I love riding anything. I just found tonight that my 185s's motor mounts are cracked. I am sure its from riding it so hard.

[steven 250sx]

watch the transmission the shift forks like to let go as long as you take care of it you shaould have no probs

[Tri-ZNate]

Problem with the '85 SX is the rear end lets in contaminates, i.e. Mud, water, dirt, and so on. Weak point is the dust seal on the drake drum

Keep an eye on the gear oil in the rear if you do any river crossings. If she looks milky, change it.

[rally4x4racer]

I broke one down that had a shift fork broken, the return spring pin broken, and the brake drum was full of gear oil.

check your rear brakes - and dont stand on the shifter :)

there is a thread about the return pin somewhere. they like to break. Very nice bike, btw.

I have spares if you need something.

[hancadam]

Well its home. I love this bike. It is in incredible shape. I didn't expect it to have so much balls. Everything works perfect. The guy even bought me a battery to go with it. The brakes are perfect. This is the first bike that I have bought that needed nothing. The reverse is awesome also, never had that before. And to think I wanted another 200x. LOL!!!!

Actually all three tires are almost new, but dont match. Do you think mudlites will look ok?

[225DX DUDE]

I think the Mudlites would look nice on there. What size are they?

[hancadam]

22 x 11 x 8. I have a few different sets to choose from. I think I will choose the mudlites.
