    Hi guys
    New to this forum, just been given a free RG250 1986 model with no spark. Pictures look a bit rough but it is mainly dust I think. Pick it up tomorrow.
    Not really a Stroker man, but things can change.

    The only thing wrong with this bike is no spark, I am an Electrical Instrument Tech with 40 year in motorcycles so it should be elementary, I hope ;-)
