Thanks again for the info JonW, will see what needs replacing once Link has a look at it and go from there. Will need to start collating a parts list over the next few weeks. A bit of reading ahead of me. Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome chaps. Nice to find a local forum, even if it is quiet. JonW - what you have outlined is the plan for my rebuild, thanks for reinforcing my thoughts.

New Melbourne member about to rebuild a 1981 RD250LC

Hi there, Like the title says I'm in Melbourne and have had a 250LC sitting around begging to be rebuilt and ridden for far too long.
