Graphics kit custom? Where did you get it?

Chris

damn, I do need those, wanna sell?

Well, if the 500 motor is 10-15 lbs lighter, the 10-15 bs I have gained since I had my suspension done will make up for it. Now I don't have to go on a diet!

saw these on EBAY, great idea!

Another nod for Fastco's Flex Bars. I had them on my last AF and will be putting them on my current AF as well.

They do take several rides to get used to. Several times I was close to yardsale before I began to trust the feel of the flex bars.

......revalving for the bike? Fill me in a little. I have the 450 suspension set up for me, it's perfect. WHy would the conversion to a 500 require more revalving?


Thanks!

...no conversion needed, already have a complete 02! Just didn't want to give up all the add ons when I sell it.

...I will try out a couple swaps. More than just having parts that interchange, they need to work well together too. Don't want some frankenstien where the rake and trail get all fff'd up and the wheelbase is incorrect.........so forth. Maybe better to just sell the 450 as it sits and buy the shit I...

Have a 2007 CRF450R with alot of shit done to it. What besides the wheels can be fitted to my 02 CR250 chassis before I sell it?

I know the wheels will cross over.

Triple clamps and forks?
Shock?
Anything?

Muchos gracias........

......paypal up yet, I'd buy a handful.

...thank you all very much. Good to be here!

Yes, the choke is in great shape. It works perfectly.

Thanks though!

Chris

My air screw is at 1.5, seems to run best there. The surging only happens when the idle adj knob (choke) is opened way up(about 75% or more). As long as that idle adj knob is opened way up it surges with every jetting config I have tried (only surges when throttle is cut) otherwise, with the idle ad...

Much thanks! I am heading towards Lucerne or Stoddard Wells this weekend, I will try it out.

Are the frame measurements the same for the SH as they are for the 250? Looking for a glide plate that might work. What are you folks using?


Chris

........I have my throttle cable adjusted so that there is 1/8" or so free play and the slide is bottomed out. Is it still possible to get the bike to idle with such a configuration..............?

...not sure what a pilto jet is, can someone transform that to pilot?

Thanks Bob, I am at sea level here in good ole Whittier CA. Not too cold, but I will give it a run.

Any situation where a 58 pilot jet might be a good idea? Can't seem to get my AF running quite right. Tried every combo with 170/175, 48-55, needle 2nd to 4th clip. (PJ) by the way. On a 2001 motor built new 1 month ago by SH. Don't want to dwell to much on idle, but it needs to be better. Idle adj ...

New here, can't wait to check it out. On my 3rd CR500, this one is an 02 SH AF. I'll get pics up asap.
