I'm pretty sure the clutch cable for a '02-'07 CR 250 is about 1.5 inches longer. I have the same problem and was going to order one and see if 1.5 inches is enough. I'll let you know the outcome.

Along the same lines>>> I've been experimenting to see how long I could run the cast piston in my '98. I did a top end job in 2001 (its first) and that was just a deglaze and a new stock piston. Every year in the spring I pull the reed cage and check for cracks>> Finally got one this year so I rebui...

For those who have been following the Service Honda shipping debacle here is new information. Apparently, Mark from Service Honda didn't fully read my first email before he sent me the "you can't change anything reply". Here is my first email>>>> Hi all, I just placed and order for some en...

I have started a new thread with the outcome of the story for those following along

I don't want free shipping >>I want to pay a reasonable amount. Both Fedex and Ups can send a package containing the parts I ordered from Illinois to Florida for 40-45 dollars or less (i'm being generous on the weight and size) in 3 days. I'm just not sure why I'm paying $110.00 (whats the extra $65...

If you have the cash the VIO POV 1.5 is the camera to get

Hey guys I thought I had better give you all a heads up regarding ordering parts from Service Honda. Yesterday I ordered some parts from Service Honda and while processing the bill the shipping price came up as $110.00 - this seemed pretty high but I figured it was just a website estimate based on w...

I tried the all balls rear wheel bearing kit >>> personally I thought it was crap >>> the bearings seemed too "made in china" for me and the seals lasted 2 rides >>> the seal lips tore off both sides road rashing (no mud). Sorry but I give these the thumbs down (you asked)

I was at the shop and then met him at his house when he did my conversion for me last year. One of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of meeting -salt of the earth. Remember fellas, while we might not always agree on our politics (so to speak) we all can agree on our desire to keep the dinosaur b...

To convert kilograms to pounds multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2

Therefore 9.8 kg = (x2.2) 21.6 lbs

Thats what 20 years of marriage gets ya --> nuthin! (just don't get too many calluses on that hand)

I just got the AF last fall using the same motor I've been running since 2000 (original crank/bearings steahly weight (7oz)). The AF is a lot different than the steelie. Quite a bit less vibes at idle and quarter throttle-ish. When you do fast fireroading mostly 4th 5th gear stuff I think the AF vib...

I'm kinda a skeptic myself. The studs thread into cast aluminum with a sleeve of steel pressed into it. They only go into the cast alum an inch or so. The steel sleeve continues uninterrupted out the bottom at which there are four studs applying more pressure (higher torque) in a different pattern f...

Damn I'm jealous ==> I'd love to have a few motors laying around. I'd have them all rebuilt and sitting on the shelf. Every few years I pull one down from the shelf stick it in then rebuild the old one and put it back on the shelf. I finally got enough scratch to pick up a couple and now they cost t...

You need to use a 1368 needle and I think its a Honda only part you can use an old one from a CR (PJ fits PWK)
175 main pilot depends on how you drive (slow stuff go 45-48)
normal 52 is ok.

I had BF goods and they were all right --> wore pretty fast so so off-road

I've had Good Year Wrangler MT/R's on for two years and I like 'em

p.s. they are kinda sexy looking too (if your into that)

p.s.s they do hum a bit

10 bucks says I'd slip installing the tire and put 2 or 3 big ass scratches is the sides of those black babies. Still, I gotta say anodized machined hubs are definitely chubb material (I'd prefer red w/gold).

On top of the other piece of crap I also had a chain slider on back order and just got it the other day. Yikes, now thats a serious P.O.S. --> well boys, Malcolm Smith or not thats the last MSR purchase. There a little too much "made in China" crap goin on there. Not worth the risk. Just a...

I'm painfully average in riding skill -- short 5'6" 175 pounds and very few people can get near me in the woods on a good day --> that includes my buddy on a 300 KTM. My secret --> its the bike. The trick to going fast in the woods is to ride a gear high. That way you smooth out the extra power...

Let me know how they work out? Im interested in a set too.

I just found a link to a company which is advertising a wide ratio kit. Same 1st and 2nd new 3rd 4th and 5th. Kinda pricey but if you want to play sometimes you have to payhttp://www.madmanengineering.com/wideratio.htm

Britain --> "where men are men, and the sheep are nervous"

I'm trying out a Michelin Starcross MH3 --> a guy I met said its the "tire" So far it hooks up well==> decent cornering. 2 rides and the knobs haven't started rounding yet (make no mistake its already moved a lot of dirt) I liked the 756 rear but it only lasts about average. (trying to fin...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in regards to MSR rad guards. I had originally purchased a set for my 98 cr 500 --> the installation went ok and they fit just fine . I'm just about ready to get my AF on the road and thought I would buy a set for the "new" bike based on my previous ...
