I just finished installing a cr500 in to a 85 honda 250r 3 wheeler. The most trouble was with the exhaust and the kick starter.I had bvc trikes make me a kick start extension and that helped a lot with clearance also ran a honda 450 kick starter that also helped a lot. On the exhaust i hate tell you this but i did the same thing you are trying and it did not work. The bike ran like crap i ended up moding a cr500 exhaust to work and i runs awesome now.
I’d love to see that kick start set up dude! As for the exhaust I guess it’s trial and error! That is the original 250sx head pipe so as of right now that’s all I have to work with!
Great build and content brother! I'm in the same boat 250r and Banshees are too expensive! I have a yfz450 roller and thinking about a KTM300EXC ENGINE
Really!? You didn’t like the predator!? I had one quite awhile ago now if I’m being honest, I never held on to it to long now that I think about it! I did like it tho for the short time I had it lol
Maybe if you lengthen the part that comes out of the motor and go farther into the the front the. Cut a little off your mid section bringing the cone of the pipe forward to clear the kick starter or try to find a 125 kick starters they are more straight up and down and smaller.
There’s zero room unfortunately for the pipe to move forward unless, like you mentioned I cut a little more out of the mid section of pipe! But the big issue isn’t the kickstart pipe clearance, it’s actually the kickstart coming into contact with the frame once you’re kicking it over to start the motor, so I think it’s just going to take some ingenuity on the kickstart it’s self! I’ll check out the 125 kick starters for sure to see if that gets me closer to where I need to be!
Need part two🎉
Crazy that I'm sitting here watching you tear shit apart 😅 great job dude. This is deadly!
I appreciate the views/sub dude! I hope all is well!
Looks savage man, reminds me of when me and my buddy put a cr 250 motor in a 200m frame, would’ve worked if we had a frame that wasn’t rotted out

Canadian partnership! Lol I've had a few Predator 500s..can't say I enjoyed them

@ovenged terribly cheap machine. Definitely a cool concept..Polaris just didn't put enough money into the parts.
Well that sounds about right from that era of Polaris! lol
