I am having a hard decision on what to do.My bike (1985 CR250) my parents got it for $700.00 and after we got it we knoticed it had cooling problems.It wouldn't hold coolant only shoot it out the overflow.So we took it to Iron Horse Motorcycle's.They took it apart and said it needs to be bored over again (It's 20 over now).Also it needs new crankshaft bearings and a new waterpump seal.The reason they said it was overheating was because it had a blown head gasket.They said all of that would run us $1500.BUT we called another place L&J Cycles and he said he would do it all for $800.00 is it worth getting it fixed.We already owe Iron Horse $200.00 for a pilot screw in the carb and a new spark plug.Is it worth getting it fixed?? I am pretty closed on options really I mean I could part it out but wouldn't be able to ride for awhile.Please let me know what You think.
