    Back in 2008 on are local crags list a 2003 cr250r popped up for 800 bucks . The owner rode fmx and had a bad crash.tweaked the sub frame and needed plastics. My buddy at the time went a swooped up on it .crossed over his plastics from his 05 cr125r to the 250r .that bike was scary fast . Dont find deals like that anymore

      When I was about 13 my step dad came home from work one day and told me to come along with him.. we got in his dodge pickup and took off. We arrived at this house about 30 minutes later, pulled out back to this barn. There were old cars and tractors and stuff sitting around. We got out and this old man pushed a 86 Lt250r out of the barn. I took it for a ride. I had some suspension upgrades, FMF pipe and silencer, a tether cord kill switch, some kind of pink aluminum bars. Anyways I knew when he pushed that thing out it was mine, my dad (step dad) paid $700 for it.
      Plastics were nice but missing the graphics.. seat was mint and it ran great. It was too much bike for me but I grew up in the country so I took it by the horns and rode the hell out of it.
      I sold it a few years later for $800.
      I remember kicking that thing one time , I didn’t have the stroke quite right. It kicked back and nearly broke my ankle. Couldn’t ride for 2 weeks after that .. I wish like hell I had kept that bike

    Idle is on the choke plunger. U spin it in or out to adjust the idle. The cable adjustment for any machine id only to adjust throttle play. Any two peace clutch cover is the updated case-cover. Old one is magnesium and 1 peace.

  • @kurtyoung6769
    @kurtyoung6769 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I stopped at24:22 to say that the cable adjustment on the twist throttle is not the idle adjuster. Not on anybike. It adjusts the freeplay in the cable. There should always be a little freeplay in the cable! The idle adjustment is on the enrichment knob (choke knob as you call it) You turn the black knob to adjust. If I remember correctly it written on the body of the carb. saying which way to turn.

    In 1987 I had a brand new 1986 .. 250R quad. I got the 86 instead of the 87 because it was faster. My girl friend who is now my wife was the bookkeeper for a Honda dealership. I had a 1984 Yamaha yfm I got brand new for $2k. I beat the shit out of it. I traded it straight up for the 250R. A week later the mechanic was riding the old quad, detonated the tranny. I used to get everything at dealer cost. The owners was really nice ppl. I had a $350 helmet I paid $35. I used to refresh the engine every couple months just to keep it crisp. The parts was so cheap. Piston,rings, wrist pin,wrist pin bearing, gasket set was like $30. Money got tight I ended up selling it for $2500 like 15 years later. Can't believe how much they cost now. Miss that toy.

    By the way Joe, I had a Kawasaki mach1 500 when it first came out in 71 before they even made the 750. When cold it took three kicks to start it. WITH NO THROTTLE, full choke. If ya'll added any throttle at all it took an extra 20 kicks. I see your throttle hand rolling the throttle on every kick. On these hard to start bikes try no throttle cold with full choke. Just the first try.

Thank you Joe for helping keep the sport of vintage vmx going !!

    I like these videos. I’ve owned a bunch of motorcycles. The CR125 was my favorite. Later I got a YZ125 and a KX125, but none were as fun as the abused, used CR125. My experience with Hondas has been they just keep soldiering on. Given that I rode in WI, this ride in the dreary weather brings back memories of similar rides. I had some bogging issues on my two-stroke bikes - I like how you address it with your thoughts. I think the humidity can play a role - in the cold, wet winter, humid air is being drawn into the engine.

    I think you need the check and clean the HPP system the power valves carbon up and stick and needed regular cleaning. I had a 89 cr250 new and used to clean mine when i felt them starting to stick. I would bet most people have not cleaned theirs in years and have no idea they are stuck. A trick from the old days was to use Pam cooking spray to coat them before reassembly it was supposed to slow down the carbon build up.

So not only was it quick but it was considerably fast. That bike shouldn’t be too hard to get running. Something’s wrong. That thing should be floating the front end. The power band seems almost nonexistent. Good luck getting it dialed in!!

    Amazed you didn't blow through the exhaust with flux core. I would just do short beads, even just a line of tack welds. Grind it back with a air angle die grinder, bit of paint, nobody would ever know 😂 grinder and paint makes you the welder that you ain't.
    Great videos tho, love your content.

    I was going to say that the gas/oil mix is off. Too much oil. Great bike man. You made out real good on that deal.

    Hi Joe great video. Nothing wrong with fluxcore just not pretty. Next time you have a crack, you drill a small hole at each end, that will prevent future cracking as it changes the path of the stress put on the part. Also, you grind a very small v groove to create a very, very slight gap. Should hold but a bit of prep will make it perfect.

    I had the water pump housing to corrosion on a1987 CR125 a few years ago and I took it apart and had my brother build it back up with a welder for aluminum and replaced the seal's and never had a problem with it afterwards and I kept it for years! I've got a 2002 CR250 now that I bought new and still has less than 10 hours on it! I've got too old and worn down now to ever get any use from it! It really needs a new owner that would take care of it!

    Also keep an eye on the transoil.its smoking pretty good.seals are in-between to keep oil out of combustion side.just a thought.

    Back in the day I used to run Bell Ray gear oil in my 2 strokes never had a problem and the cool thing about it it was pink so if any antifreeze got past the seal you would know right away as it would turn creamy pink lol
