So I traded some truck parts for this 05 CRF250x with bad valves. It was such a good deal that I could not pass it up. My plan was to just keep it until I was ready to do another conversion. Or put this extra KX500 engine in that I have been saving for a rainy day.......Now my wife says that she wants me to fixit for her to ride.........So any body have a head for one or mabey a complete engine? I might trade for the K5 engine

i would check TT. tons of blown up shit there.

cool but I am not a member over there. I am just hoping that someone has a engine left over from a build

I bet Roostius has got one just laying around

sorry, notta

I think u should shit can the CRF motor and swap in a CR250 motor - probably cost you less in the long run and it'd be more reliable.

i like that idea too

I have a complete 04 motor with a bad crank. I bought the bike from a local for the frame for my conversion. I seen the bike run but was not there when it quit. I pulled the head and cylinder to find the crank was bad.

I know. I think my wife was just excited about the electric start because she has never had that before. I keep looking at the extra K5 engine sitting here I have been looking at 250 2t engines on ebay, but damn everybody wants way too much $

Fix the 250f engine. about $700 (used head,new piston, rings, gaskets)
The headlight will still work and the E-start. My wife will probably ride it 2 times a year.
Or
I sell the 250f engine and all components on ebay for around $500. Then buy a older CR250 engine or probably another bike. Like a beat up 91 for around $500.

Where their runnin', those 250X's are fun bikes.

I say fix it for her.

I have a complete 2008 CRF 250 that has 21 hours on it. Its been sitting in my garage waiting to get a 500 conversion. I was hoping to ebay the complete engine ignition etc for $1200.... seems to be the common price these days.

Yes, that's the price. But a 250r engine won't help me exept for the top end. The starter from the X won't work.
Thanks for the thought
