stall out really easy not enough torque (regardless of RPMs) is a sign of pretty lean jetting stalling too easy can be caused by lean jetting also if it runs like a smaller cc bike that also can be a sign of lean jetting start it from cold, turn the choke off after 5 seconds, let it idle 20 seconds...

pull the flywheel cover, it should be pretty self explanatory

try a 45 pilot, and set the pickup coil 8 thou from the tab on the flywheel

trust me

my 99 works great, the cdi box is massive tho

and if your going to talk shit at least make it believable

what part isnt believable?

every few months (pretty regularly) a guy gets his cyl bored by someone who dosent specialise in cr500s, and then there here asking why did my bike seize 10 minutes into the first ride.....

a better question would be: "Why would you assume his machinist knows what he is doing?"

Going to see if anyone local has the gear to bored it when my piston turns up.

or you can send it to someone who knows what their doing and get it done right the first time...

Rode a 2013 KTM 350 for about 5 hours and still hate the hydro's for what I can only describe as lack of feel. THE "FEEL" COMES FROM THIS THING!!!!!!!! IT HAS NOTHNG TO DO WITH ANYTHING HYDRAULIC ON A JAP BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1999-Suzuki-RM250-RM-250-CLUTCH-ARM-/00/...

How the hell do these clips come out?
I mean there's no tang, no recess.
My only idea is with some sort of pick

you can struggle for hours, or drill a notch by the clip like on a normal piston

stock springs make sure your basket and hub are notch free (if notched replace) magura clutch BUT IT NEEDS TO HAVE A 9.0 MM MASTER CYLINDER vent the slave cylinder gold cap motion pro makes a lever with a bearing, and its a way better shape lube lever regularly with thin grease use only magura oil i...

you can use just about any coil.... seriously

im running a 250sxf coil right now

if everything is done right you should get plenty of life out of a cast piston.... other than running dirt thru the engine i havent had any issues and i put a ton of hours on.... and it sees the sunny side of 10 000 every ride and coolant temps over 285.... not to mention the intentionaly lean jetting

at a solid 130 lbs i didnt have any issues starting mine, your probably doing it wrong, and your bike probably isnt working right either

lets get real, these guys didnt come across the ocean to set a bomb off because you had bacon for breakfast and redtube in the favorites menu no one that got hurt deserved it and its a real sad to see this happen, but if you punch a hornets nest you re gonna get stung.... and uncle sam has punched a...

i kinda want to do this to my ranger

maybe there running methanol and cooling isnt an issue?

a finner is gonna be a lot more crash proof

cant keep the bikes outside because the carport dosent have a door, i need some room to work on the bikes...... :lol: from left to right most of the service honda in pieces (im looking for a motor and gen4 frame) 2011 beta 290 cr500sx 2009 150sx https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/1bd873e502e3...

thats not a 93, looks like a 03

the kind with wire inside, not that carbon core crap

with some work you could make it fit

i went with the softest 3x option, its still pretty stiff, sitting on the bike and pulling on the bars as hard as i can only bends them an inch or so the ktm PHDS is a true rubber mounted handlebar clamp, its not like those honda/kawi rubber cones that dont really do anything http://www.rocketcentre...

took it for a ride today, loosing 3 lbs from the bars makes the bike feel completely different the PHDS and composite bars have noticably less buzz at the grips compared to flexxbars, they also flex but without that loose feeling if they last a season i will be real happy with them https://bannedcr5...

How the hell is the front sprocket guard mounted

its just sitting there, but the guard is held in by the case where the bolt is missing, its pretty solid

for valentines day she got a Ti spring, rubber bar mounts and composite handlebars to replace heavy flexx bars (the CF bars are 1.4 lbs, the same as pro tapers) she lost 5 lbs total, it will be interesting to see if carbon fiber bars will hold up, they seem to dampen vibration just as good or better...

45, 175 with a C series, or 170 with a D series needle, dont get crazy till you do a plug test
