My son and I are working up a xl250s from boxes of parts, the rising sun will be on the cover, cool idea.
Question brothers... I need a new oil filter which is easy to find, as I recall the T gasket (o ring) is different than the one in that comes standard with the filter. Where are you getting yours?
I had fuel fill the entire engine. I replaced the petcock and drained the oily gas mixture which splashed out like the bike had food poisoning.
Safe travels. Yasser

Yasser,
I have been buying Hiflo brand filters and they come with 2 o-rings, one of which fits our bikes.

Seems odd the "T" would have 16 valves but rear drum brakes.
They went economical with the brake shoes I guess...it's what was in the parts bin (from what I've read). It was introduced as a 1982/83 model only which is kinda cool. The rear brake isn't used much anyway; I bought a pair of shoes thinking I had to replace them but the current ones have plenty of pad left in them.

Sorry yasser , I use the HiFlo oil filter and gasket that curves onto the cover. Glad you had a nice ride.

By suggestion of our man Red, I was asked to post my "T" on this thread.....I picked this up about 6 weeks ago from a guy who was the original owner for 34 years. Changed oil yearly, and kept her running the entirety of its life. Only has 16K on the clock, but was in need of a little TLC. I also needed to make some changes to the ergonomics. I never liked the original bars and swapped in enduro bars, which I think work really well. removed the rack, and have the included windshield off and wrapped in plastic and will be selling, along with the rack. Also installed a new bridgestone rear tire that the original owner included with the sale, had the seat trimmed down an inch, and refoamed with memory foam and memory gel by americana soft sets ( amsss.com). Put in a JW Speaker 8700 series II headlamp, and will be sending the carbs out to chef in CA for a real rebuilding. I'm loving the ergonomics now, but need the engine to accelerate smoothly. Here she is....
before tweaks....
and after
the prior owner had this conglomeration of horns that didn't work, Replaced with a sound bomb mini with great success.
glad to be a "T" owner. I truly feel its the most beautiful of all the GS's, I've never liked the plastic add-ons behind the seat, and in the late 70's thru 80's they were on virtually all UJM's.,
