New Project

I have a very rare 3 cylinder 250cc motorcycle, and while it's been sitting in a garage since 1984, it hasn't been run for 15 years. Overall it's in great shape for 26'000 Km (16'000 miles), however there is some work to do.

Here I plan to document my attempts to get this thing running again. I plan to spend 1 evening per week on it.

To-Do :

  • Clean and treat the rusty gas tank
  • Replace the battery
  • Replace spark plugs
  • Check Fluids (2-stroke oil, engine coolant, engine oil)


If the motor runs :
  • Take off and replace both tires
  • Fix front turn signals
  • Clean it
  • Try to have it pass inspection and...
  • Get out and ride!
