Wiseco clutch basket

I bought one for my son's 250r a few years back, we were having some issues and found that the inner splines were worn a bit and allowing the clutch to wobble, also there were some grooves starting to show, compared to what I have run they were very minor. Anyways, they have a lifetime warranty, con...

when you detailed your starting procedure it seems you left out 1 important item and if your not doing it, could explain your problem. bring it around to TDC, THEN, go just past, bring the kicker all the way to the top. this will make sure as you are kicking it through it goes all the way through th...

Back firing sounds like timing is off. there's not much adjustment with the stock stator, either you have the wrong CDI which I'm not sure if that would cause that or somethings up with the flywheel, missing key, sheared or ?? then again it could be something else, I have a Banshee that runs like a ...

i'll assume you have pulled the plug, grounded it on the engine and kicked it over, preferably at night?
unplug your kill switch, check the wiring, make sure something hasn't rubbed through and grounding it out.

Assuming Honda uses the same aluminum for all their castings what rod works the best? I'm grafting a TRX450R swing arm, rear section to a CR 250 swingarm casting, pivot section. this is for my hybrid quad.

Stock stator is only for the ignition. these are race bikes :whoop:

If you want enough power to run your lights then Eline is the way to go, not made anymore but they do turn up, not cheap, if you find something for around $400 you're doing well. The late model 250R setup can be put on the 500, I can't tell you much about them or what years but from what I understan...

While you have the head off, get a sheet of 400 wet/dry sand paper, and a flat surface, lap it a bit in a figure 8 rotating the head as you go, if its already flat you will see that it cleans up right away, if it's off very much, I would think about pulling the studs out of the cylinder and doing th...

some 89s still used magnesium right side case/water pump, mine did :cry:
if you know the guy and can pull the water pump off you may find either a corroded pump or one that's pristine, the good news is you can still buy the covers, I think around $240.

Actually, this is for welding up a new swing arm for my quad project. The previous arm broke, one weld failed then the other side broke. The material could have been thicker but there was no pent ration with the weld.
So is that 400 F or C?

I think I've made the decision to get the 2k model, if I decide that I need more power, I'll get the companion and have 4G available.
The double price and weight made my choice, the 3k is definitely a nice unit.
