Project - El Diablo

[savage sausage]

Here is my EC250 that I have bought as a project to restore....I bought it for ?600 but I knew that the suspension bearings were f**ked etc and all it needs is a bit of TLC to make it a good again I'm gonna bring it upto date to look like a 2011 bike (ish)

Moneys tight as I have a 3 month old baby to look after so it's definitely not a project that I'm going to throw lots of cash at ....Just a saturday night project whilst that bastard x factor & dance yerself into a frenzy bullshit thats on TV every saturday night for 3 hours.

Over the next few months I hope to have it built back up and get riding

I can tell it's older by the logo on the clutch cover. What year is it? Nice start with the Ohlins front. I'm jealous.
I'm still lovin' my '00

Not a 2001 swingarm.
OP was looking for 1998 parts earlier today.

It's either a 1996 or 1997. That's when Gas Gas hired Paul Edmonson to develop the bike.
