Thank you for this. This was my first bike, I was 15 in 1997 and bought this with money from baling hay. I hid it in the woods, cuz my parents forbid me to have a motorcycle. I got caught riding it to work from word of mouth LOL. I took care of it, and eventually gave it back to the original owner who still has it but went on to have MANY motorcycles, went full circle from sport bikes to baggers but now am enduro only...like I started.
my 1st bike was the 79 model TS 250 , thing just took all the abuse i gave it as a learner , learnt my dirt skills on it in the Watagans state forest in NSW. loved that thing
All the over reving at first… Me “sir! You need to calm down!” All of the water you rode through… biting my nails hoping your ignition doesn’t short out on the old girl
"The gate's open." LOL DT 250 here. Super nice scoot there. Near me in WA there is Walker but it can be pretty brutal in parts so I'm letting it dry out a bit before I go back with this vintage machine. I've ridden some of it before in a newer Honda XR -- overall like the look of your terrain more.
That looked like fun. I sure hope your using the oil.injector on the 2 stroke Suzuki. The Suzuki came from the factory, with a clear colored drain from the oil injector. I'veseen 3 oil injectors fail in my day. I'm now a senior citizen. Twice from this clear line getting degree in it. One of the three times was from a spider that had claimed inside this tube & spun a web. Other time was dried up dirt, so it couldn't breathe, and the last time was from a guy that was trail riding "like you were" and had decided to take out the oil injection weeks earlier, for riding it to work. On a flat surface, mixing the gas & oil.will.do in a pinch, however trail or dirt bike riding of the machine will blow the motor. 2 stroke dirt race bikes, have to mix gas & oil. If you want the motor to stay healthy I suggest using the oil injection system. Oh, I'd also think about getting some bark busters, rather than broken hands, a rope incase one of you break down & a food up saw. It might come in handy
I had a 1979 yellow one from new and really wish I'd kept it (I took those useless indicators off mine)..but I have to agree with another comment here, you started it up all wrong! those 2 strokes needed a bit of time to settle down, especially with too much choke on

You want to abuse a motorcycle buy a new one but don't do it to a classic like this because people are paying top dollor for a 1978 Suzuki TS250 in like new condation an people are keeping them in like new condation because people
Bikes are made to be ridden, quit your crying and twist your throttle instead. I bought this bike for $500 CND with a complete parts bike. Tired of people thinking motorcycles are shelf ornaments. Live in the moment… oh and I do abuse my 2018 KTM just as hard but that's for another video ;)
This bike was abused before we got our hands on it, had to do a lot of work to get it to where it is, and if you think that was abuse, you should see what we do with our modern bikes.

The TS needs equivalent tyres. Trials universals are useless garbage.
I like the berg more
no you are wrong

You own it & can do whatever you want with it so long as it’s legal
What the fuck you Will do with one of these then?
Keep it in your room like a furniture?
It was designed to be ridden. I shred on my 185, jumps, insane hill climbs, and mountains. It's not meant to sit there and look pretty
