As the title says,I'm looking for advice on the value of my bike.
I bought the bike nearly three years ago but haven't used it so I'm going to sell it.
Its a RD250LC and it's a French import.
Someone in the past has done a restoration job on it but not what I would say is very good.
The bike is standard and I think the only mod is a slightly cut down front mud guard.
The bike starts easily and idles nicely and revs up well.
The only running issue is that it bogs down when pulling away,it's been suggested pilot jets are blocked.
I have only recently put the carbs back on so I guess they need balancing aswell.
Once away the bike pulls well and holds the revs through the range.
I've just fitted a new battery.
The fork seals need doing.
I would say it wouldn't take much to have a good useable bike or the good basis for a full resto or hybrid build.
Thanks.
