What cables are most conversions using?
What cables are most conversions using?
I have built my 08 CRF250-CR500 conversion using the stock 500 clutch and throttle cables. Is there a certain year CR250 that has cables with a little longer length??
These will work, but a couple extra inches would be better.

don't we all wish for that
if there's one thing dad likes more than serenity… it's a two stroke engine on full throttle!

I guess that I can run the 500 cables until I really need to buy new ones, I wonder how much longer the 02 stuff is.
Also, I took a look at the brake lever... I would have to bend it out 8-10mm to get it to clear the clutch cover!!!! That seems like a lot. Is there a better brake lever to use? Like a CR250

Zach you can use a cr250 brake pedal from a 1997-1999, it will clear the clutch cover like it was ment to.AMA714 wrote:I guess that I can run the 500 cables until I really need to buy new ones, I wonder how much longer the 02 stuff is.

This is from a search I did on a similar topic on a KTM site. It's good so you know how the cables compare year to year. Doesn't have all the answers, but gives a bit of help. My 01 cr250 has a steering damper, flexx bars, 2 inch risers. I used the 2000 250 cable run to my pwk and it works great.
Throttle cables:
1993-96 CR250R cable = 2.8" longer than stock KTM...17910-MAC-670
1997-99 CR250R cable = 4.3" longer than stock KTM...17910-KZ3-B00
2000 CR250R cable = 4.9" longer than stock KTM........17910-KZ3-J20

If if doesn't kill you, it hurts like hell.

To make my stock cable work with my ASV lever I heated the end up a bit to get the little metal goodie that covers the end of the cable sleeve to come loose and pulled it up and out of the way. I then got a vaer sharp pair of electrical snips and cut about ~ .300" off the length of the cable sleeve and squared it up nicely. I refit the sleeve protector back over the fresh cut area and it did the trick. You can cut as much as needed to get the right adjustment.

For what it's worth, I spent a number of hours running around different shops to find throttle and clutch cables with the correct ends on them to give me a few more inches, with not much luck.
Check out Motion Pro's website and you can order custom ones. I didn't think the price was too bad ($35 each) considering all of the dead ends I came across trying to get a dealer to let me browse their stock for a match. I'm very happy with the quality and it fit my build better as I had some routing issues with my larger capacity aluminum tank. Nice guys to deal with and they got them to me in about 7-10 days.

Dogger... the 99 brake lever will clear, but the 08 CRF bolt is too short in the shoulder and the 99 CR bolt threaded end is way to small...

Find the wright size Allen bolt to fit the threads in the frame and length, chuck the Shoulder bolt in a lathe and drill it out to fit the Allen bolt!!!
