letsgetthisdone Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 That 250f might be worth $3,000. And being an '03, if the head hasn't been rebuilt yet plan on spending at least $1,000 dollars just for that. If it still has the original crank and its out of tolerance when you check while the head is off, thats $220. Piston is gonna be $125, might as well buy on oil pump while its apart, so another $100 (i think), seals and gaskets $100. If you can't do it yourself, say $350+ for a four stroke tear down/rebuild. So i would definetely wanna make sure its been rebuilt recently, especially if its a race bike liekt eh numbers indicate, and ask the guy what class he races in. If he raced it every weeken, that bike should've had the head rebuilt once a year. . I'd wanna see reciept's for motor work if i was you. And these are real world prices, i'm not just pullin 'em outta my ass, my cousin just had his whole motor rebuilt, and he did the labr himself, it was close too $1,600 by the time he was done with it Or you can buy a YZ125, worst case scenario it needs a piston and crank, you're lookin at $400, and the bike is only gonna cost $1500 to $2,500.
