just brought a mk2 crm250, bit of a heep,but i plan to keep it and restore it, it is a bugger to start but i think that maybe the piolet jet, where is the best place to buy spares. i need a speedo,ignition switch,switch gear,chain guard,new piolet jet
i would like some new plastics, does anyone do them or are cr250 ones the same?
i will post some photos when i get round to it.

side panels are the problem ,if you can get them they cost a fortune over £140 for the pair when i looked into replacing mine ,so i went down the cr route and replaced pretty much everything ,subframe(modified) seat ,tank ,airbox & plastics for less than the price of the panels but spent a few hours in the garage making it all fit. Good luck theres plenty of help on here

its a good idea to get a price comparison against leisuretrails prices as at times they are on the expensive side of reasonable imo
