2007 ec 250 refresh
hello all
my bike has started to look a little tired so I thought I would do a little thread of a freshen up of it. its not a major rebuild like some of the amazing threads on here just want to bring a few things back up to where they should be. Im not a mechanic and hardly have any experience. im in the uk and I race very slowly in sportsman class (that's the slowest class!) heres me at my last race 2 weeks ago anyway after this event I just couldn't get the bike clean from normal washing so decided to start taking bits off etc and have now decided to do a few jobs the main job being removing the suspension for a service. the other jobs are going to be coolant change, clean up the exhaust chamber (and maybe polish up) new lower shock bearing as slight play, (ive already done this) new graphics, either just rad or complete kit not sure yet, clean the carb and probably a load of other little jobs, like I said I know its nothing major but thought id document it anyway. I hadn't decided to do a thread when I started so heres the first pic as I was getting stuff off the bike |

The first job was on the rear brakes, I had thought something had happened during the race as I had lost all braking power on the rear very noticeable on the steep down hill bits! got to the end and found the slider pin that holds the caliper to the carrier had gone! along with the shim that holds the pads in, as a result the pads had come away hence the no brakes, the caliper was a bit of a mess so ive tidied it up and installed new pin and rubber, and shim. I ordered new pads but the company sent the wrong type so still waiting for them, no pics of this im afraid,
next was one of the most important jobs for me, the rear lower shock bearing, there had been a bit of play in the rear and I knew it was the lower shock bearing as I had recently replaced the top shock bearing and had checked the swing arm bearings, was a little nervous for some reason as hadn't done one of these before but with the help from this forum it was surprisingly easy, wish I had taken pics but anyway I used a vice and a 16mm socket to push it out and the new back in, pleased and it looks so much cleaner now next job was remove the rear shock, always a little fiddly but came out fine, looks a little dirty hey! Im going to be taking it to a shop for a service, I know you can self service but ive never done it and thinks its probably a job best left to an expert unless someone wants to tell me different! |

Pics are good!
My bikes due for headstem, linkage, shock and fork servicing. Might snap a couple during the process and make a thread of it too. |
