He said he was brought up to temp well

Reason for tear down is a shifting issue if it was put together and it didnt shift i would wonder if whoever put it together knew what they were doing maybe he assembled it dry, without oil and the first time it ran it scored a little? maybe crooked bore and/or tight piston Steely bought on CL, mot...

I wanted more room to check the air filter seal and install the pre filter so I made the side panels on the air box removable. The plastic rivet it a 6 mm yamaha style fro rocky mountain. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/a7fc80feb6ddc923c3157c69c29c4ca8.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/ima...

Who gasported the piston?

Jay Boren, a friend of mine in the phoenix east valley that does mostly banshee stuff.

I am by no means a suspension expert, but that your method of adding for the motor weight difference sounds reasonable. When I ordered my springs i just clicked the "oversize" tank to take care of the added weight. the prices are right here http://www.diverse-mfg.com/ and they get good rev...

helping a friend with his 500. Top end has about 2 hrs on it. Reason for tear down is a shifting issue, but noted some marks on the piston and cylinder. Ring end gap is .016". Any ideas on what caused this and how to correct. Some of the scratches in the piston are .005" or so. with eyes c...

CPI nickle plate

Fits well on the gen 2 250 and gen 3 250. tire hits on the gen 3 125

Haven't been around much lately. Any news on ignition covers? There always seems to be about 5 guys "almost" ready to nake a batch.

Nice. Wiseco is wiseco now shipping in cloth bags?

Maybe this link will be better.

Thanks for your input.

I am speaking of the shock (rear) only. I have WP forks up front. I have both KYB (2004 CR125) and Showa (2004 CR 250). Both are in very nice condition. Either one I chose I will only be "springing" for my weight (not re valving). Does anyone have a recommendation on which of these shocks ...

Is this true for the shock, or forks only?

They have the last weeks podcasts on the main page.

I guess they are on over 100 stations, but I always listen on line or pod cast.

Do any of you guys listen to that radio program?

I down load the pod cast and listen on my way to and from work.

Great liberty oriented radio.

I run an '04+ cr 125 / Cr250. Bolts right up, looks more updated that the '01.

1) IDK 2) I would guess same as gen 3 conversions. I would have to look up the sizes but they are the gen 3 125 swaped side to side. Remember this is my GUESS. SH used aluminium shims. They should have named them cr500 AS. 3) https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/26acfdfbbc3ca7660042673fa64bc831...

Yea, you do not want too nice of welds if you are going for the OEM look!

I have an 03 cr125 AF and the SH pipe works fine. Is it the LE pipe? Maybe there is a difference in the LE pipe. That would be great if there was, and I would be very happy to hear about it. Have you ever taken your fork caps off and fully compressed the forks? Man I hope I am wrong on this one, an...

I wish I would have known the full extent of the pipe issue before I started my conversion. I thought that when I got to the point to do the pipe, I could just buy a SH LE pipe if I got lazy. I got to that point, and got lazy and wanted to by a pipe just to find out the LE pipe is the same as all th...

The pipe is a big issue as well. If you do a 250 conversion the standard cr500 pipe fits well. For a 125 it is extensively modified. Then if you mash it, you gotta mod another.

I love the gen 3 frames. Good choice going with the 250. I know you wanted to do the 125 bad. Do the 250, if you still want to do a 125 you can always do it later. Have you considered doing the Algava method? It is my fav. for sure. I have one most of the way done in my garage that a friend is doing...

Maddog, could you recomend any repair shops in AZ, I have a bridge port like yours(the one you are selling) and it needs new spindles bearings and a general going through. Thanks! PM sent. You could also call tom moore of moore tool and equipment. he seems to give good recomendations. He told me wh...

paddle is scat trak from lees dist. I went with an 18" rim looking for more tire to swing arm clearance. You can get any number of paddles as they are custom made, if you can wait, or buy what he has on the shelf. I have never had a problem with a scat trak untill this one. I did not inspect un...
