I have an 08 that has seen some shiiiiiit and I recently found a clist ad for an 09 parts bike. Also an 05 front wheel which I could use since I need a new tire and it has one. I'd like to do all the work myself, I'm just not sure if I can or if I will. Depends on the difficulty. So:

-Can I fit the 05 wheel on the 08?
-How hard is it to fix front forks if they've been bleeding a bit for, uh... heh... 3 Minnesota seasons of riding and wheelies? Bleeding a lot more, lately... I think water's been getting in them and pushing back out. Still seem to work fine.
-How hard is it to swap out a radiator?
-How hard is it to swap out the entire fork set, handlebars and all?
-If I take both of the sprockets off, can I change the chain without a breaker/riveter?
-Is there really any point to fairings on a 250? I've had them off for a couple years.

Any answers/suggestions appreciated. Thanks, guys.
