Honda XL250 1974 - Will it run? 

I have a xl250r what I just got up and running again got to say one of the best bikes in the would

Thanks for sharing gotta love this bike. It was my first bike I was 17 without a license what a blast big times 😎🇺🇸✌🏽

Parts bike are you nuts

When I said top dead center and points were closed, I meant points were open.

Agree to nice to part - fairly valuable bike. Restore!

I was hoping you could get it to run.... and me learnt something from you working on it.

You have to adjust the point gap first and then set timing plate to get accurate

You just need On/off switch. I put an apple air tag on mine for security. Cheers. I love this bike.

Black wire from the mmoter to the points and the coil should have spark if no check points

You don't need a battery to start this beast. Cool Video.

looks complete don't spare it. She'll be sad to survived 50years

Easier to sell in one piece, gave up early on this one. Edit: next video shows that the frame top tube is kinked.

The emulsion tube needs to be cleaned in the Carb. It could be the timing chain. Watched the whole video. It wanted to fire up.

be sure to put the stator cap on or the oil will fly out, lean the bike to starboard and use a timing light!

You got to move that jack stand so you can kick all the way through. That's why it kicks back on you

First Thing I Seen is that The coil Was Loose , Tighten The Coil Bolts Up & You Will Have Constant Spark. Do Not Go Turning The Points Plate , Or Adjusting The Points. Start With The Basics First.... YES All It Does Is Bypass The Kill Switch. Do Not Go Putting In Jumper Wires, You Will Fry The Electrics

Does your title say “off highway”?? I picked one up but they said it’s only for off-road which it’s not, I know these are enduro, both street legal and off-road
