I'm not talking about the 250. I'm talking about a 2.6l Yamaha. But even a 250, If you get one that has a good crank and just needs a piston or two isn't too bad. My 225 needed one new piston when I got it. It also needed a crank but I got that for free. I had the one cyl bored out and re-ringed the other five. I rebuilt the carbs,replaced the oil pump and water pump and thermostats. And it's been good ever since. I'm closing in on 400 hours.
