So let me give you the details of how I lead up to getting this cm250. I was injured at work (auto repair) to the point that I am never able to work at a shop again. Shattered my left distal radius(the big wrist bone) 6 pins 8 screws, 2 bone graphs and a carpal tunnel procedure. To make a long story even longer, I lost about 60% of the motion in that wrist. Anyhow since I've needed a way to make money, I decided to buy and sell what I could. I started off with a buddy scooter 150cc. Sold it within a week. With that I bought a POS suzuki and lost out on that. Engine blew after I got home. Sold that and bought a kawasaki zr7s. More problems then I could explain here but I traded it straight across to someone that had this 83 cm250. It ran but didn't have a starter. This was literally the third bike I've owned in my life within a 2 month period. Never even rode one before that suzuki. Tried installing the starter and nothing happened. Found out starter was DOA. I ordered another and the starter clutch froze up. Mind you im doing this on an extremely fixed income so trying to find the cheapest safest way to do things, I am all for it. So I remove the flywheel and cannot detach that starter clutch. But I was able to rebuild it with a spring kit I got from harbor freight. And used Teflon spray for lubrication. After that I decided to Rewire the bike due to it being owned by nomads or something previously, no colors on the wires are correct to the manuals wire diagram. 2 weeks I meticulously made sure everything was wired up and perfect. With the bike was stripped of the wiring I decided to paint it. Frame, non chrome part of the exhaust, engine and tank. Tank got repainted 3 times because I kept spilling gas when refilling it. Paint was not cured yet but I really wanted to ride it. After a few days I filled the tank and rode it for about a week to make sure it was good to go. Then the stator gave out. Tried rigging up another stator on there but the bike was stolen before I could try it out. Bike is recovered now and I was able to get some cash together to get the parts I need. So far what's been done is new brake cable. Plugs. New ignition with gas cap and steering lock, new mirrors. Grips, and handlebar controls new levers, new speedocable, oil change , clean oil pump screen, Rebuilt carb, replaced shift lever, dual headlights, starter and chain, paint, acquired original seat on offerup for $5.00 and the tail light assembly for $10.00 woohoo! Now I ordered the correct stator, new wheel plates, and pulse generator. I'll post more pics in a few days but this is how it went
