Cool. Thanks for the help!

Hi, getting my old bike back into riding shape. Does anyone know the correct size tires for a '98 EC250? A couple of websites say: Front: 90/90-21 Rear: 120/80-18 What's on the bike now is neither of those sizes other than being 21 and 18. Just trying to get it back as close to...

Last question: Has anyone had any success with a rebuild kit? From what i can gather it is a 38mm Keihin PWK AS1 carb. Anyone have a recommendation for a good rebuild kit? Thanks again for the help!

My '98 EC250 sat up for a couple of years and the rear brake line is clogged. I have tried everything to get it unclogged but no success. Does anyone know if there is a crossover brake line from another bike that will work? Can't find anything specific on the web for a replacement. Thanks.
