Got given a 250cc Chinese bike the other day by a mate it's pretty banged up but still runs great
I've never really had an interest in bikes but he wants me to give it a go so he has someone to ride with on his new yz250
I should go alright with doing at as I'm pretty mechanically minded being a qualified car mechanic but enough about that.
Problem is I don't know what make/model the bike is apart from I know it's a 250cc zongshen.
I can post pictures so maybe someone can identify the bike for me unless there's another way?
My plans are
- completely strip the bike
- strengthen the welds on the frame
- repaint the frame
- freshen up the motor with a service
- rewire everything
Bits and Pieces I will need to buy (would be great if someone could help me with rough prices)
- 2 new tires
- new plastic kit and sticker kit (not sure if these are fairly universal or model specific might help if I can find out exactly what the bike is)
- new seat (again not sure if this is model specific)
- new bars
- muffler
- filters and spark plug
Probably a few other things here an there. Whatever I can get second hand I will
so please give me a hand cause god knows I'll need it
