Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

Are there any tricks to yeilding more power out of the stock '74 250?aftermarket parts?

I've been looking for sometime and i can't seem to find (at a decent cost) parts for my MT 250. I have gone the e-bay route, but only can find stuff like seat covers and brake levers. I mostly need electrical parts, the whole system actually, including the switches on the handlebars and the rear lights rack. also a new chain, rear wheel, seat cushin and air filter. what other year/model bikes can i get these from. it seems i can find every other elsinore year or model but this one online for parts. and the local dealers all say it's too obscure to get parts for.

Are you sure there are differences between 74-76? About the only thing I think changed is the trim on the exhaust.

For most of the parts like chains, clutch, brakes, I would try http://www.denniskirk.com as they have good prices and service.

I know of a MT parts bike in the Sacramento California area. If you are in that area I could see if the guy still has it or give you his email address. It's been about a year since I saw it, but it may still be there.
