      Is there much difference between the SS250 and the SX250?

    Great bike! !!! My dad had a 1975 enduro. It was an AMF though. I would LOVE to be able to get one if I could find one that runs just to keep for memories. I rode it when I was about 15 on the dirt trails and beat it up quite a bit and then my parents just put it out in the TRASH when it stopped running. Uhgggg I wish I could have it back now.

    I had the 76 SS 125, spitting image except for the seat and taillight as you explain, and the 125 has the ignition where your tacho is. Took it up to 90 mph on a country gravel road, I weighed maybe 120, age 13 then, heavy vibration so I went to foam grips as well. I stripped it down rehabbed it, put on a flat bar, painted all the chrome black, was a good project for the 16 year old I was then. Thanks for posting this!

    Your very welcome! Good to hear about all your good memories on these bikes. Stay tuned, I am doing a light restore and recondition on this SS this winter. Dont forget to take a look at our vids of our MX250 street tracker if you have not already!

    You got it right on the head. Some of the parts-bin transtional year bikes (HD-Cagiva) are pretty neat. Lots of the updated Cagiva parts, with HD graphics.

    I have been jumping on ebay and searching for parts...Its really a waiting game for good deals. If you have a part catalog you can type #'s in ebay and you'll find some expensive oem stuff.

    @Scootertuner1000 Cagiva bought them in 1978 thats Harley purchased Aermacchi in 1974 after working with them sense the 60's. They sold it in '78 to Cagiva.

    Sweet bike! What engine oil do you use? I’m having a hard time finding 2 stroke 50/1 oil

    My father actually has been looking for an earlier 'Ashtray' head Sprint for awhile. We have enough projects right now, but what would you want for it?

    I am left leg dominant, and have had an injury to my right knee, making it both awkward and a bit painful to kick with my right

  • @takemechrome2291
    @takemechrome2291 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    What years are interchangeable for parts on these? Are the sx125’s interchangeable at all? I have the same bike as you and I’m having a hard time finding parts

    Just for my knowledge: does the 250cc engine fits in a HD 125 cc body, or should I have to adapt the transmission and other parts?

    • @masdbo
      @masdbo 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      NO, just find an sx250 cheap

  • @JerryWick
    @JerryWick  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have a two stroke SS350? Not too common stateside, actually pretty rare. Or do you mean a your Sprint?

    Why do you kick-start with your left foot? If you do it properly, it should start on the first kick!

    How does the fuel mix work?

    • @JerryWick
      @JerryWick  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The oil is pumped from a tank that is underneath the gas tank, to a injection pump behind the front chain sprocket. This pump is driven by a gearshaft connected to the primary gears. The oil then leaves the pump and goes to an orifice jet in the intake port. The amount of oil is regulated by the throttle position. The throttle cable splits midway, one end going to the pump, the other to the carburetor
