In early Feb of 2026, I purchased a piece of shit old 1984 Yamaha XT250 for $1400. When I bought it, it only ran when it wanted to, and it only wanted to when I bump started it going down a massive hill. Off memory, the maintenance I completed included:

When I was done with it, it ran like a top. I originally planned to get it roadworthy and put it on a club permit, but decided it wasn't worth the $500+ more I would have to throw at it. I sold it in July 2026 for $2400, around $200 profit.
