Count down to October 5th is on! 2-Stroke Season Starts now. 🤘
Ty for all you do in our sport. Motospy is fantastic
Cole,
While you likely have more riding talent in one finger than I do in my entire body, as the former owner of a 2002 CR250R that I built, I can lend some insight regarding the engine situation/years and updates from 2002-2007 (last generation). All years from 02-07 are known for having an excellent frame, good suspension, and a slightly lackluster motor. But with a few tweaks it's an excellent motor with very good mid range pull and good peak torque/horsepower numbers. From 05-07 the motor got the removable power valve cover/assembly on the exhaust side, but really all variations of the motor are similar.
Three very important engine mods aside from a standard port and polish and pipe/silencer combo with proper jetting that really wake the bike up are: 1) Getting the head shaved/squishband set. 2) A good aftermarket reed cage. Honda changed the reeds and cage design almost every year of the last gen Cr250 with little success. 3) Keeping the electronic RC valve properly adjusted using the "12 mm" method. The stock method is garbage.
Other very good mods: Lectron Carburetor, Billet exhaust flange (Stock one's are prone to cracking), stick-on rubber/plastic/elastomer frame dots to keep the radiator shrouds from rubbing grooves into the frame (as are visible on the frame @5:53 below the tank), and most importantly, one of the many fixes for the single-lip air-box seal that almost always ends up leaking. Arguably the best fix is the MX-Bonz billet aluminum clamp.
Additionally here are some really useful lists/charts detailing every change by year of the last gen CR250. Very useful for sourcing parts/ensuring that everything you purchase will work with your 03.

Oh, and the RC valve stands for "revolution control", whatever that means. Coincidentally the 02 was the first year of the CR having it, and Carmichael did switch from Kawi to Honda that year.
Hope this helps!
Someone on here finally knows their stuff. 👍🏻
My 2002 CR 125 has a power valve, not the RC valve. My nephew's 2007 has the RC valve. ✌
He read this and went okay here go Factory Honda motor from HRC. lol
Pumped for this build! Don't forget to clean your Ricky Carmichael valve or your powerband won't work right hahaha
You may have your bike racing against this guy... dont be too friendly
@@jeremymalott2177 Hold up, whhaaaatttttt
Haha, btw Cole should watch your video on how to straighten bend radiators.
Jeremy Malott Oh we’ll have him covered with the nos button addition💨💨
Was wondering if I’d see you here! Would’ve told him go check you out if not! 😂
don't paint the frame, make it look like the factory bikes. they look sweet
They looked great except for the silver rims though
Congrats on retiring! Keep up the videos and you'll be famous on this platform before you know it!!
What, who retired
@@ableto1121 cole did lmao
@@dumpedclutch8429 Well that is his loss, and my gain...Now I can get that Honda factory ride...LOL
First, good luck in your future away from pro racing. I’m sure it was hard to make that decision but as a racer standpoint we all understand. The CR is gonna look great I’m sure. The 450L was spot on n I’m sure you’ll put in the same work and effort on this build. BRAAAAP!!!
They are the cleanest shoes and pants I've ever seen in a workshop, especially for doing some tinkering. Crack on lads.
So stoked to hear that you'll be racing the Straight rythm man ! :D AND ON A CR 250 :D With your bmx background and your great technique, I think you will do great over there !
Just something small to know about two strokes:
They the best,
PERIOD
:)
The oil is premix because oil is in the gas unlike a 4 stroke. It's normal and common for 2 strokes.. The oil in the cases is only for the trans and clutch, not the cylinder the premix is the oil for the cylinder. 👍
Bro don’t trash the plastics! Do a viewer giveaway and sign them. Plus tons more people watch when they might get free stuff.
I’d run those radiators all day lol
Swap a 2000-2001 cr250 motor in. The 2002-2007 cr250 motors had an electric powervalve, which caused them to build the rpm slowly
I have a 2000 CR250R I did a complete rebuild on this past winter. I used GPI oversized radiators.
tchrishoward i did the same with a wrench rabbit rebuild kit
You're going to be able to throw that thing around like a rag doll and I know for sure you'll love how the power comes on. I know you'll have a trick setup when this project is competed too. 💯
Put a cr500 motor in it
Don't throw that stuff away!!!! Tons of people could use those parts!!!
Did you really throw away the pipe????
I think 03 CR engine is actually lot better starting point for the build than the later models. It has lot more torque in stock than 05-07 models. With Keihin carb, V-Force Reeds, pipe change (Doma pipe works best), VHM cylinder head and maybe little cylinder porting you will be ready to race
Will you test ride? like canard!? You should get a cr125, and beat poto. your fresh off today top level of riding!
Hey man congrats on retirement you were a great rider and hope you have a nice future!
'01 motor swap, all you need is the engine mounts. No welding or cutting the frame! @Cole Seely
Looking forward to see what you come up with being an 01 CR rider myself ✊🏻✊🏻
You should use magwheel cleaner on the aluminum it looks sweet when it's all clean and fresh, another thing you can do is watch Cameron Nimelias vid on making your pipe look cool take it down to bare metal then use a torch to make blue lines in it looks so trick
You should make a 1999/2000 factory honda replica with Seely on the sides of the seats!
Man i just heard you retired from racing. Very sad to hear that but it's understandable after the last couple years. We will miss you.
Enjoy these builds Cole ,keep up the good work .
Congrats on retirement, can’t wait to see what the future brings
Unless you have something like a lectron carburetor or fuel injection with two stroke you'll always have bypass oil coming out of the pipe, but not usually that much the guy was probably running it just a bit too rich
Love the whole project!
...please get a gyroscope camera mount or something👌🏼👍🏼
Please don’t get a polisport re-style kit, the classic plastics look so good
That bike was already in great shape! Like a perfect base for an awesome build!
Look into Mishimoto Radiators . Well built, can get them braced and also bigger than stock and still bolt up same as factory. I love mine for the KX450. I paid about $250 for both . I was like you and had one destroyed Radiator and was just going to get another factory , the factory was nearly $200 . Check them out
You should get a carbon fiber tank for this thing from CMTcompositi!!!!!!
You don't need to do a motor swap Cole, I have an 03 and an 06 and I can tell you that the 03 has just as much potential as the 05-07 engines. Just have a good engine builder do your engine and you will love it. Remember, Ricky Carmichael won an outdoors championship on an 03, the last 2 stroke to win an outdoors title.
If you see this, just parted a 2002 cr250r out on eBay and we have a very straight non fill (left) side radiator, oem. Search “j106 cr250r” on eBay and you’ll find it. I’ll clean it up extra for you if you order it! -jmx powersports
Hey cole, my dad works at a company in Georgia that makes radiators for any thing if you would be interested he could do it.
Cole... I had one of those things. The chassis is awesome. Contact vertex for a piston, and Varner Racing for the engine and youl thank me later I promise. Use the SST pipe and Vforce. Seal the air box flanges w silicone when you assemble it
Pick up some Tusk radiators on RMATV or the GPI ones on eBay are actually good quality. Your other but slightly more expensive option is to send them off for repair. They will come back looking brand new.
Its going to be sick in the straight rhythm
Will you do a gray area type of video with this bike? if you do you should call it black ad white! and also if Honda isn't sponsoring you for this... they should
Excited to see what you come up with! 🤘
@ColeSeely the RC valve gives you all that revolutionary control
Nice dude
You and your clean, lol. It's a dirt bike and most ppl don't have a mechanic or a factory bike. Was wondering what happened to you when I didn't see you at the next race. Your one of my favorite riders, and hope you're back soon.
That bike is actually super clean and low hours for a 16 year old bike!!
Can you giveaway the handlebars? I'd honestly take em.
Michael Selzler dame haha
Send the radiator to Fontana radiator. They will straighten it and re-weld the seams for about 70 bucks. Thing will look brand new
YES!
SEELYYYY
Ronnie Mac wants to pit up with you at straight rhythm.
Should have just bought a cr250 frame and built it up from there..🤷🏼♂️
So coooool!
the doggie! awww lol
Hope you get back too raceing soon man, heel up fast.
Don’t throw the plastics away sign them and give them to a TH-cam fan make them pay shipping
Yep do a giveaway Cam style 👍🏻
Pretty bike man
Make it look like ur own factory 450
Bike is gonna be sick
Think you should get a carbon fibre tank!
Maybe Christian Craig can come give a hand now that he's been screwed by the FIM.
I have not heard what happened to Christian Craig. What happened ( FIM ) Is not equitable because the punishments are never equal.
yeeoww!!
Same bike Ronnie Mac almost won on
It is hard to watch yall workin on that bike being a motorcycle tech lol. Good job boys keep up the good work.
Awesome build cole but please invest in a anti shake camera and quit with the jerky movements. more time on the tripod please. i got motion sickness watching this haha
#hondaboys
Neat
Don’t get the restyle kit make it a retro build
Best CR250 motor hands down are the 2000/2001...
Lol
Rick johnson 87 replica bike vote here
If you wanna make a great bike stick a 2000 - 2001 motor in it.. thats would be the best of the best!!!
You should run Lectron for carb
Hey send the radiators to ICW. they can fix em dude!!!
You vs Ronnie Mac straight rhythm?
Fire my boi 🔥
Get a lectron! 💪🏼

Fire
You need to get a smartcarb for it
You should try those bars on your race bike dude, never know may take a few seconds off your lap time, make sure to leave those pretty red grips on tho.😂
I would think you would need bottom end for supercross
I have a 02 radiator idk if that’s gonna work u could probably get it to work
how much you want for the back wheel, i toasted mine and i dont have money to buy a complete wheelset
Those handlebars tho 🤣🤣🤣
You should definitely get the re-styled plastic for the CR. Polisport and TX Race make a kit.
You should do giveaways with the parts u dont use. That would be cool.
Send the radiators to ICW
Your garage is 💣!!! 💦
eBay all day brother on the radiators
I did say it! Redbull Straight rhythm! 😎🤫
Where do you keep your bikes
Love the videos make a video with ken😝
You should consider getting a moto lift from Goodstuf racing! www.motolift.net Their super high quality, and they’re really good for build with engine removal because of the frame clamps on them! Can’t wait to see you ripping at straight rhythm 🤟🏼
In need of the exhaust....thanks in advance
You gonna be at Washougal? Geeeez
Nice looking couple of pedal bikes there man!
Cmon Cole, make the engine red!
Are you gonna restyle the plastics?
Hey cole are you going to be riding for bto team?.
