Hello

As some people might know, I have bought my first trike (yay) and am new to the board and all.

I bought the trike for 200 bucks, the back tires dont match, and the one has a hole in it larger then my hand, lol. I am gettin new tires for it hopefully tommorow or thursday. I pulled the carb off, it is IMMACULATE!! brand new! it also has a brand new piston and valves in it, I only got it so cheap cuz the person i bought it off, the guy that owned it died so i got it off his wife cheap.

I adjusted the carb today after work, and just gave it one pull with choke, and what do you know, she fired right up, first pull! but, the timin is still off, and I am pretty sure I need new back bearings, cuz its up on a jack, and I can move the back axle around like none other, only a bit though, lol.

Does anyone know what I should do to make this machine worth some coin? I am hopefully going to just ride it this summer, and then in the winter re paint and some mechanic work then sell it in the spring, maybe a different muffler too.

Also, would a 250SX be any different besides speed and a rear suspension? This guy's nephew has one, I think he may sell it for about 800 - 1000 dollars. Canadian eh?

Thansk for all your input and ideas, I am new to triking and want to make the most out of it.

it is almost mint, i have new rear tires on it, i set the valves up, the timing is like a hair off, and i am putting in new bearings for the back.

Other then that, i am just going to re paint the gas tank because it has been re painted, very badly, lol

I already got an offer on it, 500 bucks plus an old moto ski snowmobile, lol

I am thinkin on it. let me know some of your ideas.

I dont have a digital camera or scanner, or i would post some pics to see what everyone thinks of my new toy.

I know I can get 500 for it plus a sled, but, didnt say i would take it.


Wanna hear a sad story?

involves a 350x (not sure of year) and a bead thing.

Friend of mine has a 350x, i wasnt even born when he had it, he is like 45 years old or somethin, and i am 15, anyways, gettin of topic, lol, he gets a 350x and all, fixs her up nice, and then sells it to some guy, who crashes it about a month after buyin it, cant fix it, so just throws it into the lake.

now, this happened about 10 years ago, so i figure, the current, and all, probaly washed it about 100 km away, might have to go swimmin wink

lol
