The Suzuki TS 250 was one of the best of all the enduros for it’s day. Great looks great sounding motor. Way worth the time and effort. A true classic.
Thanks Jeff, your too kind. Im trying to keep them as interesting as I can, sometimes its just not possible. Really appreciate everyone hanging in there with me.
Just like a brand new bike Dale. Your work is top class. Vic Camp here in England used to convert TS250s for Road Racing in the '70s. There are some good images on the internet, TH-cam won't allow a link. I was offered one in boxes about eight years ago, stupidly I passed on it! Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire, UK.
Wiring, that's where I'm at on mine and it has been slow going. The harness that came on mine was a wall switch taped to the handle bar and not much else :(
I’m rebuilding the same exact bike! Did you make your own fuel and oil pump lines? I’m having trouble finding them and why the clutch feels so stiff even after replacing the cable and housing
Hi Insharn, I did not make the oil lines, but I did repair one that was broken. I did a video on it; take a look in the TS250 playlist it should be there. If you can find them, you can use hose and buy the banjo fittings for a 71 Yamaha AT-1. They don't look original, but they work, in order to keep the oil from running back to the pump you will need check valves at the engine fittings though. Fuel lines are yet to be installed, will be getting back on this project this winter.
I've been following you for a while since my 75 ts 250 project has been in my life.. how do you put a new gas cap oring gasket in?? Is there a trick? Can you take the cap apart,? Please help..
Hi Rikki, I put a video up today TC125 Suzuki odd jobs. At the end I discuss installing that gas cap seal. Will do a more in depth one in a few days when I get a seal. Hope this helps. Thanks for following the channel.
Hey Dale, I'm enjoying the ride.
Thanks Larry, appreciate it.

I have to agree with you Matt. Alway been one of my all time favorites. Better quality than the Yamahas in my opinion.
Dale, your projects are 1st rate as are your videos. I really look forward to them, thanks for sharing.

Looks great! Another epic project by a true craftsman. Nice to see you so skillfully enjoy retirement.
Thanks buddy, appreciate you following along.

Thanks Dean, yeah I have passed on some stuff that I should have bought. Just part of life my friend.
Nice to see such a clean engine and bolts. Unlike other components that can be upside down the engine is either in or it isn't. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for following along Graham, more to come on the TS250.
Looking great 👍👍
Thank you, appreciate you following along.

Oh boy, really that bad? For sure electrical is my most dreaded job. It always snowballs on you.
Awesome!
Thank you, appreciate you following along.
Nice!
Thanks for following along.
Looks more like a bike. Its crazy how the did the break spring. That is nothing like a Honda or Kawasaki
Yeah Suzuki likes to hide things.
