I also like the rangy bikes over the docile throttle responding top-enders. We had a little episode where the creek crossing washed away, so out of a pebble and clay creekbed we had to get up a 10ft virticel and hit a 4 ft wide cattle gate at the top, then carry on up a goose-crap slippery 45degree ...

my '02 neither, but bro's '04 4 sure has it. and altho he's lighter than me by 40lbs, my bike (both with no engine mods, but his with a fmf pipe is slower than me on my stocker) his maybee has a little more riding, and both got pistons fresh same week

the trans is the same 88-92 subframe is 87-88 only. Its longer because of the shock mounting (which is higher than the 89+) you probably like the twisting of that knob on the rear shock, that you;ll loose going newer. The wheel would work by swapping bearings and parts. use the caliper from the matc...

i looked at the same deal for my '88, the airbox, frame, subframe, pipe, silencer, kicker, shock mounting, tank, fender, and more all choke that bike to swapping only with your 87. number plates are shared til 90? thats about it. After riding the other years i have tho, I do prefer the 88's handling...

heres the ad from CV products, CV4 division, for the same "polishing" process as the mikronite, they use the term "Isotropic Superfinish"

nick rides it here to our shop, probably 4 miles from his house on saturdays, and out to the valley, probably 25 miles. he's got all the lights and stickers for dot, might put a plate on 'er this summer.

make a package deal with a saws-all and get it http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k209/bostod69/Fordville%20Climb/DSC04787-1.jpg My bro and our buddy nick built this machine, Nick had broke his leg last jan, so he kept the starter, alernator, and battery on it. You should see the look on guys faces w...

people totally forget about timing curves, timing can be the single largest non evasive performance upgrade on a naturally aspirated motor. I am very pleased with the '88 cr250 cdi I installed. Oh, so you guys know, even though the '86 stator coild were only '86 for the 500s, they were '86-'88 for ...

talking about saving some power in the drive line, my guys all ran ernie-glide trannys when they could, dropped all rotating mass, and only coupled the mainshaft to make it drive, brilliant trans, had a 3" od clutch in it to get the car off the line. another trick is using a trans with a ballsp...

Lighter the chain is always beter, cross drilled, non o-ring, and on less links makes it faster, and if you're looking for the faster parts be ready to do some maitinence

Yes its the complete surface of every gear, poor manufacturing is what makes a wear pattern in the gear, If parts were made accurate there would only be a smooth surface. Anybody who's blown a trans or clutch where material has gone thru the gears can see how they "lap-in", that was the ol...

get a rod by spec , not by listing. I'll get 1 for u if ur serious

polish trans dynos +4.5 hp in a crf250

I don't doubt that for the long jump and riding todays mx, ya there is deffinately no way a guy would ride the '88 or the newer steelies competitively, just wears you out, but there was also a big change when guys started standing on the bike for a whole race. ya, I dont see for the riding im dooing...

"it may be the Fla turf" ? If you mean florida, I have no idea how guys find anywhere to ride there, just way off of what I'm used to i guess. My buddies are always crowing about how my '88 looks like an old chunk, but dammn is it fast in the valley compared to their 450's! We've got all k...

This whole headshake thing is someting thats been confusing me, Me on an '02 250 and my bro on the '04 250 always felt like the bikes rode loose, even looser than the 00's. Then once we rode the 500's we realized just how bad those af frames did headshake, Dad got on the 250 after having a flat on t...

Make a poll of who wants an aftermarket jug, if there seems to be enough i'll see what i can get made, I have a local foundary dooing some work for me, also an Australian company making me 350 chevy blocks in aluminum and cast, and some China/Jap, custom casting guys dooing things aswell. If theres ...

The water needs to be mechanically injectd into the cyl directly. No matter how stupid the fuel metering for rpm sounds thats exactly how the mercedes engines are working, and very clean, and powerful. But ya its a pile of over engineered crap that in all practicality would be millions in R+D to pro...

I got a pair of 19" for the 250's and realized i've only rode the 250 5 times in 2 years.

I know that if i fill a 10lb bottle by the freezer method the bottle holds a denser charge, sounds stupid, but measuring what leaves my big tank the freezer method does take more liquid into the cyl than my nos brand pump does. Dont make the mistake of having a bottle on the bike thats too small. Wh...

find the right year... '89+ should work. the tranny gears were widened in '88 so you might have issues there and the cases will have to be machined to accept the jug. Plus the '85 is a short rod motor, so you would have to get a jug spacer from cometic. You could probably make it work, but in the e...

should look at the nanno nitrous guys too, they have a sweet system that maintains power by topping the bottle pressure

HAHAHA

Danny, what is a 462 MEL?

In our testing MR-pro2 is 3hp in a tuned ktm125 2stroke
and MRpro4 made 4 hp in a ktm250 4 stroke More than using u-2 or u-4. Thats some sweet pour in power! Ktm canada and honda canada are going to try and use it exclusivly until the dammn '09 no leadded fuel rules get here.

I agree, that linkage is a little backwoods
