Yamaha SR250 Project Bike Updates - Battery, Tank Badges, and Rear Shocks

The 1981 Yamaha SR250 project bike is back with a few updates - one functional (battery), one aesthetic (new tank badges), and one performance (new rear shocks). I'm really happy with how the bike looks and handles after these relatively inexpensive upgrades (under $150 total). I invite you to check out my Yamaha SR250 YouTube build series on this bike if you haven't seen it yet.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
