Hi all, should I 1998 EC 250??

[Mudwiz]

Hi folks, can I pick your brains?

I'm very keen to buy a 1998 EC 250, seems clean for year and use, but are there any particular pitfalls to avoid? Which noises should I be listening for?

It has "normal" forks, is that expected, most newer ones have upside downies?

Also does any one know how avaliable the parts might be in the UK?

Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Welcome to our family!

The "Regular" forks are the correct forks for that year. As far as parts you should have no problem, but I will let the other guys from the UK post up for that info.

I would not really know anything about bad noises with the bikes because I have yet to hear anything bad so far. Normal noises is some slight rattling sound when you rev the engine up and let it come back down to idle. There is also some chain rattling noises but only when you are hard on the gas.

That is all I know of. Some of the other great folks here will post up their opinions also.
