...you just convinced the piss out of me that this will be a good thing...if there isn't any tank issue then i suppose there will be no lower clutch cover bolt issue with the frame? or is a notch still necessary? how much plug clearance are we talking here? oh and the oem airboot/box sounds niiiiiice... why did you notch it though? just for that extra bit of engine rotation? I had no problem cutting up such a beat up 450, but i had alot bigger problem buying every little thing it needed to ride like new again...so cutting up such a nice bike saves you all those little expenses, but seems like such a bigger risk...JBaze wrote:On my Gen 2, I didn't mod the tank at all, and I had to notch just alittle for the bolt on the bottom. I had reservations about cutting up a perfectly good bike, but after I got over that, the build was fun and a very good learning experience. Now I wouldn't trade back for anything.
where is mt nebo in manitoba?...and are you asking if a pro circuit is hard to fit a 250? nothing is too hard about making up new mounts...but i would love to finish off a build by mounting my pipe to the 250 mounts!...Roostius_Maximus wrote:my sawsall will be screamin like a horny angel!
I've gotta call Mike anyways and get a tracking # from him on some other stuff, I'd better find out about that pipe!
I've got a procircuit here i was going to use, but is it hard to fit?
I looked at that bike a couple of weeks ago. I wanted a 250 but I ended up buying a 2004 125. It came from Minnesota, but the seller delivered it to the Border. I paid $950.00 for it. Lets see if I can attach a picture.Balaclava wrote:^^i honestly would have no idea the suspension differences...
I'm SERIOUSLY looking at a PRIME and MINT 03 CR250, it's such a sick bike, this guy has owned it since it was new and has NEVER crashed it, the frame looks like it's off the showroom floor...My cousin has a Gen 1 125 and swears he loves that frame better then any other he has had a chance to ride...I am thinking of getting this bike because it is such a sick looking bike, taking the 250 engine and putting it in his gen 1 125...and getting me an older 500 engine, and blacking it right out and making me a Gen 3 500!...he wants 3 g's for it, but it's like NEW! if i buy it then I have to get rid of my 450...but then i'll have two AF's and this one will be saweeet...
has anybody ever had nightmares about gutting a perfectly good cr250 while doing a 500 conversion?
And does anybody know if there are any complications with doing a 250/125 conversion?
[/img] I found it on the Manitoba Motocross web site. It was a complete bike, but the seller was thinking of making a shifter cart. Now he has the motor for it.Balaclava wrote:HOOOOOLY shit!!!...that is the mintest rolling chassis i have ever seen! who did you hook that up with? if i got a deal like that on something so clean i would be shitting myself as we speak...the bottom of the cradle almost looks like it's going to have to be completely modified on that 125? or am i just seeing things? anyways i think i'm going to buy this guys bike tonight...so we'll have to see who wins the race!! haha jk...
ya you will have to modify a whole new lower cradle...i just checked ttm mikes build...kinda rough...but if it comes out looking like his bike then you will have one fuckin amazing bike...robertg wrote:I found it on the Manitoba Motocross web site.

It's a lot more work with the 125, that's for sure.
yes, I didn't have to dig far into the frame, and the part that touched was a really beefy part, I just tapped it with the grinder. I'll try to get some pics.Balaclava wrote:the lower engine mounts on the 250? they line up with the 500 engine?JBaze wrote:The reason for it, was to allow the lower engine mounts to line up with the engine.
I don't have a good picture. I get one tomorrow if you want. But like dannygraves said, I just used a barrle grinder on my dremel, and just kissed the weld the bolt hit. You can't even tell you did anything.dannygraves wrote:yes, I didn't have to dig far into the frame, and the part that touched was a really beefy part, I just tapped it with the grinder.
