For the decomp actuator I used a thumb actuated hotstar lever for a CRF that bolts to the brake master. On the valve I made a mount that clamps around the mount for the valve and welded the adjuster part of a clutch perch to the top of the mount I made, Im using a clutch cable without the adjuster p...

figured I would make a conclusion to my first build...... Its been used and very abused for quite awhile with zero issues. I havent goten any cracks in the frame and the engine runs strong and reliable thanks to roostys work. I ended up running a 38 airsriker carb from my 2000 cr250. I also installe...

Did you heat up the tubing with that propane torch next to the bender before bending it?

Im thinking about bending some for my cradle, But I only have enough material to get it right on the first shot.

I experienced the same....... had a 95 250 (my favorite bike I had) then got a 2001 and loved it just as much, it was easier to ride due to more useable power the 95 was more like a light switch ON or OFF. I then had a 2004 and absolutely hated it compared to both the 95 and 2001, sold the 04 and fo...

Some of my best rides are after I take a nice shit!! Expecialy before a big race! I have a hell of a tIme trying to get it to come out!!!

Damm you guys are hilarious!! I could see if we were talking about a 45-90 degree difference than maybe you could feel a difference but with the slight amount that were talking about I would think Bob is correct that you would feel more of a difference with a full tank of gas compared to a almost em...

Thanks, I am aware of the parts interchangability. Having owned various years of CR250's I can definately say that the 07CRF250 feels much lighter, skinnier, and smother feeling than my 06 CR250 that I had, but maybe thats just personal preference. I got the 07crf250 basicaly for free after selling ...

Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines. Once I get my pipe I will mount the engine where ever I get the best pipe fitment. Still need the 1" extensions for the frame if anyone has some they are willing to sell. I can't find anyone in Hawaii that sells it... Besides the square edged stuff w...

Bummer..... Is getting the engine straight more of a visual thing or does it affect other things besides CS sprocket. I'm waiting on a new pipe so that I can mock it up and see how it fits with the engine sitting as is.

Cut out the Y and did some test fits. The engine still needs have the front rotated down, but I need to clearance and finish the area buy the R/H foot peg. Also trying to decide on what to do for extending the frame rails. I was thinking about trying to make the Y out of flat sheet like a post I hav...

started on the project. Got the CRF250 down to the frame and did the first fit of the 01 250 engine. This conversion will require alot more mods than the Gen2 500 conversion. I will post some pics when i get a chance

Did a quick comparison of the engine cradle frame rails and the 01 250 frame is a different size than the 07 crf250 frame rails. Its enough of a difference to not be able to do what I was thinking.

Thats exactly what I was thinking... use the gen 2 250 cradle, im hoping that after fitting into the crf frame I can use the existing motor mount tabs on the gen 2 frame rails. Ill probly start the build in two weeks or so. Anyone in need of an 07 Crf250 engine, carb and electrical?

Not looking to gain anything noticeablly more than a gen3 frame. But I do like the idea that the 07 crf250 frame is skinnier and lighter feeling while riding. I couldn't find a gen 3 250 for a reasonable price. Then I came across the 07 crf250 for $1300. With nothing majorly wrong with the bike. I'm...

Does anyone have any info in this type of conversion? I have the frame from both bikes and was thinking of moving the Y up on the CRF then replacing the lower frame rails with the 2001 Cr250 frame rails. Would this work or are the frame bends way to different? Any input from someone who has tried th...

Looking for a scotts under bar steering stabilizer mount for a 2001 cr250 frame. Scotts says they dont make um anymore.

feed a few inches of rope into the spark plug hole then slowly turn the engine till is stops, then tourqe the Fly wheel.

I got the 250 ign but also perfer it with the FWW. Much better in the slick stuff, also helps to prevent stalling in the tight nasty stuffs

I still need to get a pipe and silencer.. Im planing on getting a Gnarly mainly because its alitle thicker and it will last longer but not to sure which silencer to get.... I have some different 250 silencers from my 250 01 has anyone tried using a 250 silencer on a 500? will it work? would the conn...

Got all my parts and assembled the engine. Everything went together smothly, used the tusk crank installation tool and it worked good. Had one problem with a stud on the cylinder pulling out when I tried to tourqe the nut. removed the stud and found that the threads in the cylinder were stripped out...

Shit! I know in my mind the right thing to do is find new cases but, I don't have all the money in the world to spend on this build and its quickly becoming expensive. From what I see the worst senario is the crack can spread, and the best senario would be that the shifter seal may not last as long....

I purchased a totaly thrashed 500 and took the engine out to use for an A/F conversion. Now that the frame work is done I can start on the engine rebuild. Durring teardown the first thing I noticed was I could grab the clutch basket and shake the whole thing up and down. Also could do the same to th...

I have a 2000 CR250 which comes with the 38 airstriker, I think I will just use that carb for my 500 and put the Mikuni from the 01 250 motor I removed on my 2000 250.

is there a huge diffrence between using the 38 compared to a 39 or 41??

Can anyone identify this carb? It came with the engine I am going to use. Is it crap or worth using? I noticed the choke is on the opposite side. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/f35c7a855e70d3c4e62fc81ac13157c0.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/e2b3e130d25ea9279ca3a4c2acac6b14....

What pipe should I look for that fits best for this conversion. excluding the pre mod ones from SH

Nice choice of beer
