Geez, that was awfully kind of him, don't you think Roosty? Given the chance to call him to confirm what you already knew. Wow, that's taking customer service to a whole new level. Takes all kinds doesn't it?

I have had the good fortune to tear both of mine. The left one I tore before I was smart enough to buy CTI braces. I was riding a bicycle 2 weeks after surgery. Although that was part of the re-hab protocol, the doctor said I was perhaps pushing the timeline a little early for that. The same doctor ...

LMAO! Boy, with friends like that Bob................. Thanks, I needed that laugh!

My bad. Sorry Hoons. Saw the ad, just thought I'd let everyone know. Like mr2ace said though, never hurts to ask.

Sorry for the hijack. Roost I sent you a pm. You get it?

For anyone who is looking, there is a seller over on vitalmx.com who is peddling parts for an 08 CRF250. Looks like he probably blew it up but I don't know for sure. Didn't even bother to respond to the thread. Looks like he's trying to part out the entire thing but once he realises THAT will be a P...

Wow, thats some funny shit right there Bob! Almost pissed myself watchin' that one on Brit. Does take a shitload of abuse.

Wow Thats pretty friggin amazing cuz I've owned 2 Honda big-bores and they both ran like a charm ( and 1 piece of shit KX500 but we ain't goin there) and if you knew MY history thats AMAZING to have that kind of luck. And no doubt I'll start havin troubles now that I've talked about it. Lol

I've owned a CR500 and never had any trouble getting a decent idle or overall jetting problems. Whether I was at high altitude or where I'm at now which is about 550 ft above sea level. Everyone else modded the shit out of their motors that switches over to a PWK? Sorry for the hijack but this is ra...

Oopsy, I forgot. Throw in a new plug and make sure the gap is right as well. Eliminate that part of the equation for potential trouble and you will be able to get a good read on your jetting.

Ouchie! That makes a difference. When I lived in Calgary at 3500ft the rule of thumb was down 10% on jetting, I would think probably 15% for your elevation. If the stock main is 170 then try a 150 or whatever is closest and you can adjust from there. Same thing on the pilot. Probably set your clip b...

I will risk sounding like a dumbass here, but did you check to see where the idle setting is? I assume you know it is in the choke knob and if you didn't well..... turn it to see if it makes a difference. As well, yes that o-ring is very important, as mentioned previously. Since I don't know I will ...

Lol You go through what I went through and trust me you'll have a LOT more to say after the battle is over. Sadly that was on 04 that was 2 years old. Ever hear of "Tongue in cheek?" Sounds like you have lots of wrenching experience Jarnot. Not knockin on anyone. Learned some hard lessons ...

Now there's a fella that spent his entire education riding the short bus to school. Wow!

Ok. I'm not getting in the middle of this pissing contest. I would however like to add my 2 cents worth. Without a doubt buying the right tool is the way to go. Even if you only went an bought ONE 14 mil allen socket you won't regret it. For the aforementioned " You will always have it etc.&quo...

You want an r7282 plug and a trs1225 cap. Go to summitracing .com or redlinepowersports.com for info or to order. Shaggy gave me that info. Aussie I believe.

That bike is sweeeet! Like that airbox/boot even more! Thinking about doing something like that myself, and then you come along and prove it can be done AND look awesome. Nice work. Can't even see the bad stuff Bob's pissy about. Oh well, getting old and vision's going I guess.

87 That pretty much sums it up, you nailed it. We ride what we ride to have fun, and everyone has a different idea. Right now I'm riding a 93CR250 with the entire front end off an 07 RM450. Twin chamber Showa's an all, baby! Having a blast on the bike. Back on a 2-stroke with suspension that carries...

Solid: I listened to that whole Bob and Doug blurb and not ONCE did they mention a plug or cap/lead number WTF?

Need some help guys. The plug and cap numbers don't come up. Anyone have the standard numbers for these? At least the plug. The one I have now is a BR8ECM. The r7282 ain't comin up. Is that a European/Australia part number only? Any ideas/help would be great. I'm in the great white north hockey play...

Thanks for the advice bear. I completely agree with you about the people who should NOT be in business if they can't do the job properly. All the mistakes (save the headstay) that came on this frame have been fixed. So I cant contribute to the process. Will try to put up a pic of the stay. When I fi...

Greetings. Names Andy from Tillsonburg Ontario. A 48 year old truck driver who gets slower every year, but BIG BORES STILL RULE! Been drooling about owning an AF since they first popped up on the scene years ago. Been riding a steelie since 93. Finally got started on the process when I tripped acros...

Nice looking welds on that frame brother. I paid a shop to do mine and they aren't THAT nice! Good job.

Getting some differing views on a headstay here. My AF project from MPS (don't even get me started) came with a piece of 3/8's dowel with 2 tabs welded on it for each side of the head stay. That don't even come CLOSE to fitting properly. It runs from the existing tabs on the spars for the 450. Thoug...

Haro: I'm a newb here. Hopefully I don't come across as negative. (Goes for any other poor sap reading this) I made the mistake of getting my frame modded at MPS. The shop royally screwed me. Long story short, got the frame home and when I started to assemble it, the motor would NOT fit down into th...
