My vote goes for a pinched/clogged fuel line, would take till the float bowl sucked dry to notice so it might not show up in the shop??

Only reason i run a turbinecore is they dont clog, unlike every screen piece of shit out there, i dont have to remember to clean it. and im pretty sure i dont lose any power to it but as stated above, its pretty loud.

definitely not. get a big sled motor

Didnt realize the 125 forks were old tech, good to know. love the kyb rear shock though, ill be keeping that.

I can speak for the fmf turbinecore doing nothing to mellow out power, it still comes on the pipe violently and is loud. but i have a shortrod motor too so that doesnt help the smooth delivery.

I should clarify a bit, i burned up a full tank plus 2 quarts that was in my backpack - dasani water bottles (total about 2.5 gallons, stock gen 3 tank is about 2 gal) in 20 clicks of fire road and 25 clicks of nasty mountain trails and i mean gross technical shit and a ton of rocks 27 ish miles tot...

I get pretty much the same mileage as the 250s i ride with for what thats worth.

none in the shorts, it was one of those slow motion "fuck, im gonna crash, yep im goin over tha bars" moments. as opposed to the "suprise, biotch, you be on the ground" type of crash.

Have a look at the flywheel and see if its tight on its hub. We had an 82? cr80 that had loose flywheel rivets and was doing exactly what you are describing, run great then wouldnt rev out or come on the pipe and smoke like a train. We played with chasing wires and new plugs for a while before I fin...

Had a bad weekend, crashed a couple times, trashed a fork in a headon collision with a tard going the wrong way down the trail. So, plan is im gonna buy a new set of forks, Should i run the 125 KYBs or the 250 and everything else Showas?? they will be sprung accordingly, just wondering everyones opi...

Bought this short jacket last spring after my last great getoff and didnt really test it hard. So im going up this nasty steep river hill thats sandy with about a 6 foot dirt vert at the top. coming in way too hot, (it had just rained, wet sand) so i let off a bit, tire caught the lip or something, ...

Just a cool race, anyone can ride, sportsman to pro. Good times, dual sport and qwad classes too. Cant race myself but ill be there putting around the pits with trashed forks and wrenching on buddys's broken crap im sure. http://www.cornergrass.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Corner-Grass-Event-...

x2 on the s12, also been running a kenda millville lately, best tire out there for the money IMO. i mostly ride in sand and sandy dirt and a few trips to the mountains each year(dirty bush, logs, rocks, mud). we always ride pretty aggressive.

apparently im a bit retarded. i have to pull the head to get mine in and out but certainly not the jug. 02 250 frame and a shortrod engine. i go in the right side jug first. takes a good 5 seconds to get it in there with the head off.

Interested to hear what that pipe does to the low end. i kinda want to kill off some torque in favor of revs. I think i may have spooged a little seeing that pipe. not even close to the reed block either. What was the lead time on that thing?

im probably in but i need a price first

this might help, 85 head roosty did for me last spring https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/d8eefe4ce497f1abfb0e16a8d16a3e80.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/397b4b4aa3e436a33fd1a90f91ea27ed.jpg cant recommend his work enough, starts like a real hot 250 with the 250 kicker on it.

copper rtv silicone works OK. get about 15 gallons through it before its burned off

thanks for posting this, nice to see what the 250 curve actually looks like in comparison.

i just drilled mine too. i was damn careful about it, but it worked.

Merry christmas boys!!

after getting it kinda dialed in, my gen 3 with 85 motor has a pretty crazy hit and a real problem keeping the front tire on the ground. definitely a violent ride sometimes, I love it. cant imagine why anyone would want more power without a longer swingarm. went on some wild mountain trails 2 weeken...

ok got gaskets, took it apart, then took off for the weekend riding in the mountains again. i had a blown base gasket too so i was waiting for that since i need to get the pipe and coolant lines off for both. anyways, basket wasnt bad at all, marks for sure but not bad. but that little roller lever ...

I ran a 12/48 on my 650 in the bush, run a 13/48 now with the dirt wheels and a 15/45 with the sm wheels. 1 tooth down on the front is the same as 3-4 teeth up on the rear. chain will wear somewhat faster with a smaller countershaft sprocket though. gears are gears. 13/52 - 4.0:1 13/50 - 3.84 14/48 ...

Sounds pretty much like our bullshit registry that they lost half of.. and has cost a shitload more than it was supposed to. Someone should bring that up when fighting it, go look at the incredible Canadian system that doesnt work.
