Sold it for a song to a guy at work.

$750? Daylight savings special? This would be perfect for a winter conversion.

I'll trade you. I live in Westland.

I have seen 3 of those in the last month.
One 450 and two 250's.
The intake valves start to "tulip", pull up into the head.
I predict there will be a LOT of these deals coming along.
A grand is on the mark if you're putting a new piston in also.

Up for sale is a 2002 Crf450 with bad valves. My mechanic friend says it will be almost a grand to fix so I am selling it as is, minus the carburetor for $900. Comes with all the spares in the picture, but no carburetor. (I am keeping to swap on my DRZ)

Bike is located in a suburb or Detroit.
$900 ...

you dont need a new carb if you flush your fuel system with gas after your done each day never let the alcohol sit in there or you will have corrosion problems. the carb you have can be set up to run it just fine. other than jetting it really really rich theres not a whole lot to it. I have seen ...

Just out of curiosity, what is required to make the swap? New carb, make sure all the fuel system seals are compatable and?

Some progress on my spring freshening:

Nevermind, I'm going to rebuild the one piston, get it put all back together, clamp that piston and pop out the stubborn one.

So I am working on rebuilding the master cylinder and Caliper on my bike. One piston came out fine, but the other is frozen in place, Any ideas on how to get it out?

but if the 86 and 87's had the most power, and the 13 and ups had the best transmissions, clutches, and water outlets, couldn't you make a hybred engine out of a 86/87 jug/ head and a 93 and up case? I remember seeing something about a deck height difference, but couldn't that be fixed with some ...

Ha-ha. Farmer's a riot.

How did the stoy go from GM to Ford?

It is so true that it isn't funny. I work in the auto industry and it's all true.

Ask the people I bought it from.
Someone must have liked red and painted it at some point.

Here is my current stable. Most aren't 100% together because the weather is just breaking this week:

ANY A/F is quite a step up.. Do it!

I'll snap some pics tonight.

You won't find that kind of attitude here.

Welcome and tell us about your 490..... :cool:
It's an old beater I bought for $500. Got about $650 total in it right now. Just you average 20 year old dirtbike. Came with new tires, sprockets, chain, seat cover, side panels, and CR fenders that fit fine ...

I don't own a CR500 yet, so don't go banning me or anything.
I have a 1987 YZ490, but I am thinking about selling that and building up my own CR500AF.

It's a 1987 and according to the owner has no problems and is in "great condition".

I'd hope so or there would be no point in swapping. Do the first generation CR125's share the same frame as the CR250's?

I'd buy it if I had the $ right now. Uncle Sam needs to hurry up with my return.

I have been digging through all the threads looking at all the different conversions trying to gather up some information, but I am having kind of a hard time figuring out all the ins and outs of different conversions. Here is what I am trying to figure out:
Generation 1=1997, 1998, and 1999 CR250's ...
