skov Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi all, I'm going to look at a 2004 250 pro tomorrow evening. Is there anything in particular I should look out for on these bikes? Any known issues with them? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skov Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well the gearbox was full of water, but I couldn't resist and bought it anyway! Fingers crossed a new waterpump seal will sort it... What's the best way to flush all the milky cr&p out? Is it just of matter of changing the oil a few times, or is there a better way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocky Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Buy the seal, the shaft and bearing. Its about 99% certain that the shaft will be worn and you'll just waste your money with the seal. Been there... done it Pop over if you need a star drive to undo the impellor, im only in Huntingdon Edited May 31, 2010 by Blocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
