Number one rule when dealing with electrical gremlins, check your connections. Pull them apart, scuff them up with emery cloth and reassemble. Sounds like a ground issue to me, that will commonly cause intermittent faults. Pull the coil off the frame and sand it shiny on both sides. Check the insula...

otherwise it will preignite and run hot also it wont make power it will be flat I don't think it will preignite or run hot, because the ignition would occur later if you don't slot the backing plate, no? Usually those are signs of too much timing advance, although the flat power feeling is spot on ...

Yeah that seems kind of counterintuitive to scuff up the piston like that. What is the reasoning he gave? I'm curious how long it will run until it seizes.

I read somewhere you have to advance the 2000 cr250 ignition to get it to run, this chart confirms that. What's really interesting is that the 500 falls in between the 250 and 125. It would be cool to superimpose these over a dyno to see which lays down better hp. You can also see the digital 250 pi...

There are some NASTY new wash outs around Barstow, be careful. I landed in one in my truck, punched a hole in the radiator and bent the frame. The road washed out overnight. Suprise! Image

I think you are stuck with stock gears unless you can find IMS wide ratio gears somewhere. I saw some on ebay.de (germany) for about $1300. Better to port the motor and just run taller ratio sprockets.

Well, I shipped my entire motor off to Glenn for new crank bearings, bottom end seals, the new race port, and to bore my carb. It was a tough decision choosing the right shop, but after talking to Glenn I feel confident he will do a great job. There are just some things in life you can't learn from ...

I know it's a rare bike but 6K seems a little steep to me. It would be a nice little
