    Hi everyone,

    I recently purchased a GSX250F for $500 that was not running, found this place while looking for resources (thanks!). If you have been looking on bikesales lately you may have seen it.

    Bike was sold as not running due to a fuse blowing when turning on the electrics - having completed an engine conversion that needed a lot of the wiring loom repaired (fuse box was cut off), I was pretty confident I could get this bike running.

    Within 20 minutes of taking off the fairings, I could see a couple of problems - I'll leave that to an actual thread though not just the intro!

    Cheers - Matt

    the $500 non runner is always a good challenge ..... usually an 'easy' fix ;)

    good luck with it !

    Welcome aboard Matt.

    Good luck with the project. I'm in Oakleigh South if you ever need a hand or a second set of eyes.

    Cheers
