Hi all, I bought an XR100 '90 model for grandson having out grown his PW80. So the problem is I can't get the engine to idle consistantly, sometimes not all and will at times rev on after shutting the throttle off. Apart from this issue the bike goes well when I'm riding it but, fraustrating for a nine year old using a manual clutch for the first time!
My first thoughts were air screw adjustment, air leaks in the manifold and slide not returning to the bottom. I have replaced the manifold 'O' rings and checked the slide does go all the way home and adjusting the air screw all having not effect at all. Any ideas?
Thanks, Wade

I have used this company before and found they are cheap and relieable. Your transport can be quoted and booked on line.

Hi I'm restoring an IT250D (cheapskates YZ250D  ) to ride pre78 with classic scamble club here in victoria. The main differences from the YZ is the shorter suspension travel, minor changes to porting and of course the gearbox ratios,  none of which will change your enjoyment of racing at club level. Go for it mavman!

Excellent, I want one, a job well done  onya EVO

No excuses for shelpi! get into mate

Hi I have just finished my XL250 project and had the same idea about getting it lighter, but I keep the original frame and ground off everything that was not needed, side stand, frame lugs, brackets etc. The steel tank was replaced with a plastic item, the original seat weighs heaps so I used a plastic base seat from an early 80's KX. Numerous other steel parts have been remade in alloy. In the end though your still dealing with heavy engine so you have to get used to it. The XL250 handles grass track coarses very well and is great fun to ride and well worth the effort.
