    How hard is it to learn to use a atv/dirtbike Hand clutch?

    I agree with Mavrick get a 230 if you are looking for something older i.e cheeper look for a Honda XR 250/200 good and reliable trail bikes. Ride it for a season or two then upgrade to a bigger bike.

    The up side fast light and handle great good in sand and hard pack. The down side low ground clearance and they are only fair in mud (momentum is everything).Not much use for towing or hauling anything. If you are trail riding look for one with a reverse such as a Yamaha Raptor 700, Kawasaki KFX...

    Check that the carb has no water in it. I have had this happen on single cylinder quads where there is a small amount of water in the carb and the bike will idle fine but when you give it gas it sputters. Change the oil as many times as it takes till there is no sign of water in the oil and...

    Dirt bike for noob

    Try a Yamaha TTR 230 it's a little smaller than a 250 and has enough power to be fun. A good learner bike. Like the others have said a 125 four stroke would be low on power.

    what happens to the sleds the are insured????

    Usually insurance companies will allow the owner to buy the salvage. But it is up to the company as once they pay you out the sled is their property. If the owner does not buy it back they are sold at a salvage auction.

    oldschool enduro resto

    Northern Bear is right that is a DT 250 and 1975 sounds right. Try using a fine file or sand paper to clean the points then check to see if it has a spark.
