my dad picked up a 00 cr250 last year that broke the rod near the wrist pin and punched a hole in the cylinder. put a new jug and a rod kit on it and we've been riding it ever since. PC pipe and silencer/spark arrestor. he paid $1000 for it.

sounds similar, just something else wrong with the motor.

there is one more bore left, 91mm. they go in .5mm incriments.

The bike is Sheer Joy to ride. Light, nimble, suspension ( Resprung Only) is spot on, and I could have rode that thing all day. thats what i thought when i first rode my 250r, just WAY underpowered. glad to hear everything went well, makes me looking foward to getting mine done that much more. ques...

i picked up may parts from the dealer, which included the collar to space the motor over, fits perfectly. i decided to cut the frame near the clutch cover bolt. was alot easier filling it in nicely than a originally though. ill get some pics with the motor out once its welded up. tomorrow im turning...

looking good. its nice to see someone else doing a gen 4 also.

ive been thinking about buying the acerbis tank, but was wondering about clearance. looks like it fits quite nice.

i machined these on the lathe out of 1" solid 6061. should make a great front motor mount. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/cbdbf67a45c30e62bb75e82003246ada.jpg here it is installed, you can just see spacer plate on the back side of the frame. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/...

another reason I need a TV in the garage

i did check the clearance on the pipe and the radiators, thats why i assembled the bike a few days ago. i did not put anything inside the frame at the lower joint. i feel there is nothing wrong with properly prepped butt joint as long as the penetration is there also. your Y does look a little highe...

the craddle and Y are welded in. every time i moved something and bumped the frame the pieces fell out so i decided to weld that up before i tackle the motor mounts. im still waiting for the collar to show up, should be here tomorrow. ill get some pics of the frame later tonight

i ground the downtube on mine. it was fairly easy. just don't go up too high. the front of it is thicker that the rear, so i took more off the front than the rear.

i get just about all the bearings from all ballz. they have a better selection than pivot works.

late cr500
top - 47x26x16
bottom - 51x30x15
i couldn't find anything with a 51x26x15 dimention or the xr600 bearing dimentions

i wanted to go the harescramble last year, but i blew my bike up the weekend before. i don't go to that, i think thats usually the same weekend as one of the enduros i go to.

https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/33989e17e189febb8d73f8e939a914f3.jpg just a few things to finish up :roll: :lol: :lol: i got bored and threw it together. i got the Y where i want it, clears the rads and pipe well. i also know how im spacing the motor. ordering the parts tomorrow. when i g...

mine hasn't, yet. and im surprised it hasn't yet with teh stuff ive put it threw.
there are a few tricks to welding a frame so it doesn't crack or break along the weld when splicing the frame.

didn't get much done, just cleaned out the Y so i can start fitting it. that is the hardest thing yet. i need a new flapper disc for my grinder and i should have it high enough to clear the springs and pipe. i also measured the collars for the swingarm bearing. the difference between cr500 collar an...

looking good. id like to see how you plumb the frame in for gas.
how much did you end up spacing the engine over?

i got bored and not having the money to get my tranny together right now, i decided to jump a few steps and start working on my conversion. it started at a 05 CRF250R that i bought at a used car dealer. im sacrificing my 98 cr500 for the motor and electronics. here is it when i first bought it. http...

Welcome

i know that hill, i walked up and down it many times as a kid. they held harescrambles there a while ago and we rode in the woods next to that. this last year they started running harescrambles there again.

my ironman on my 98 is 4 years old and is showing some where

i got a nice msr enduro jacket from my parents, i guess my dad got tired of me borrowing his all the time.

i would replace the gears. there both preaty bad. the gears will end up putting pressure on the forks and cause it to grind it down again. just my .02

how much for the front wheel?

total from my dealer is $473 for everything listed.

i have a barnett clutch in it now, i will be putting a EBC stock replacement in it when i put it back together.
