Hey guys looking a 1988 YAMAHA FZR 250 Details: PREVIOUS OWER HAD PROBLEMS WITH STARTING SO I SENT IT TO MELBOURNE AND HAD MINOR HEAD WORK THE CARBIES ALL SET INCLUDING VALVE SHIMS NEW STARTER MOTOR WORK DONE BY SUMOTO IN MELBOURNE HAS VERY MINOUR DAMAGE WHICH WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED BIKE AS YOU CAN SEE IN PIC I HAVE NOT GOT AROUND TO FIXING IT BUT RUNS REALLY GOOD SINCE HAVING WORK DONE HAS BEEN RELIABLE FOR ME CRUISE NICELY ON HIGHWAY COMING HOME GOOD TO RIDE BUT NEED A CAR TO CARRY TOOLS FOR MY JOB NO OIL LEAKS REG TILL SEPT 2007 31,728 K's plus the drive sprocket needs doing He wants $2500
imo no fzr should cost over 3k this includes purchase, repairs,tune and rego. it looks like a nice bike. id buy it
its nice prity nasty tank damage though but if you can live with that there a nice bike to have and you'd look at paying about 3500 for a good one so maybe you should umm and arr about that price see if you can get it lower but i dont know for myself i couldnt live with the tank damage!!!!

I thought Casso must have re vinaled with R2 decals for a second! Until I saw the wheels weren't powder coated anyway. The tank isn’t fixable but a second hand one painted up will be less than $500. If it is running well and the k's are for real then it sounds like a reasonable price. I'm not sure i get it tho. You sent it to Melbourne to get fixed but you don’t own it?
It's only a tank cover, so can be taken off and panel beated back out, maybe if done well, wont even have to re-spray... Looks like a nice bike.
Nope, if thats the bike in the OP photo that your referring to it looks to be a 3LN1 which does NOT have a tank cover. The section that has the dent is actually part of the main fuel tank. That said it is possible to remove the top fuel cap and with the right tools, pop the majority of that dent out then bog over the rest. It will definitely need to be repainted though.
... but that'd be easy! I thought we were going for cheapest possible backyard mechanics solution to the problem. After all a tank will set you back ~$150-300 at a wrecker and then you've gotta hope its in the right colour, or a thing of auto-bog will cost you ~$15.
