250-500cc any info on older 250: '96 WXE250

Found this nice looking Husky locally.

Cant find much info.

Interested in the bike, but am concerned with aftermarket/OEM availability for a bike this old.

Can you still get stuff?

How about forks, any good in '96?

Would this make a decent woods bike?

the forks definitely suck, the 96 were trerrible leakers.

Thanks.

Looks like a very clean bike, and I think Kelly has/had a '95 that worked very well in the tight woods.

I am just nervous about getting an older bike that may need parts and not being able to get them.

My buddy just got a basket case 96 WXE250 for free. Just finished doing the bottom end last week. OEM parts can still be had through the dealer, but I'm doubtful you'll find any aftermarket support except for the basics: piston, brakes, etc...

I bet it would make a great woods bike.

The bike looks very clean for a '96, and after reading that review, it sounds like a great bike for NW woods.

Tempting.

Kelly. You still have your WXE250 from that vintage?

Well, she's been deleted, so might be gone.

Was hoping to check it out.
