My next Project!

[YAMAHAULER]

My next 2 Projects!

Just picked this 2004 Yamaha Bear Tracker 250 up last night needs a carb cleaning and eventually a top end rebuild but not a bad deal at $200
over all it's a really solid machine besides the sun baked plastics it's complete and everything works will be a fun project come spring

There great machine Ed!!

 

[lbjamm]

Sweet deal Ed!

 

[YAMAHAULER]

if anyone comes across any good deals on some nice trail riding tires for it let me know the fronts are 22-7-10 and the rears are 22-10-10
I'm open to used also as long as they are in good shape tread wise

 

[lbjamm]

I got some Dunlop fronts.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

they have decent tread? throw me some pics when you can Lloyd

 

[lbjamm]

Tread is decent. I'll get some pics in a bit.

Sweet find!! I had a 97 250 Timberwolf many many years ago and I loved it.

I had a 00' timberwolf 4x4 and it was a tank, never once let me down in 5 years

Well decided to tinker with it a bit so I pulled the gas tank so I could pull the carb to clean it and found the intake manifold boot had separated in half which would explain the high idle when I started it 2 days ago so need to order a new intake boot
carb was full of slimy green ****





Carb All clean,rebuilt and ready

 

[YAMAHAULER]

anyone know of any good aftermarket upgrades for this thing?

 

[Beastmode17]

I would get some Powermadds, New grips, A nice seat cover, Shock covers, UNI filter, and a decent set of used tires off ebay and it would completely different. You can make some metal floor boards that are a big thing to do around here with utility quads and paint a few parts.

I would also get a different set of handlebars, I Hated the front struts on my timberwolf but overall it was a tank like the previous guy said.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

I have a pair of good front tires on hold from Lloyd
and will be ordering a UNI filter and some new grips for it within the next week
found a really nice seat for it also on ebay

still trying to find a good set of rear tires 22x10x10 or 22x11x10 hit me up if you have a pair

and debating on weather to restore the plastics or possibly paint them(not sure yet)
then eventually I will be doing a .020 wiseco top end rebuild on it
I suppose they don't make a stage 1 HC for it hey?
and it will be getting a winch installed on it also

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

Ed just restore the plastics man, they may not end up looking brand new but atleast the paint wont pop off or get chipped up..

 

[Beastmode17]

I actually am looking forward to see this come back to life. I would restore the plastics for time being until I found a nice set on ebay. Overall you cant beat what you paid for it 200 bucks I would have bought it too, and Ed I will keep my eyes open for some rear tires.

 

[Gen1Pat]

Ed, some things to watch out for. The mechanical drum front brakes, and that stupid reverse shifter. You can use the front hyd brakes from a Beartracker. Other then that they are a really good machine. Easy to wheelie, too!

 

[YAMAHAULER]

Pat it has the hydraulic disk front brakes on it already and drum rear which works really well and yes the reverse shifter is a bitch to shift into reverse hopfully it's easier while it's running

 

[YAMAHAULER]

the carb had a 42.5 pilot jet and from what I could make out a 95 main I believe
anyone know how many turns out the air/fuel screw should be

 

[YAMAHAULER]

have another possible Quad coming to me next weekend would be trading my sled for it and it also comes with a full set of Maxxis Razr tires on ITP Baja rims along with the stock tires/wheels
