I'v just bought this.







It needs a rebuild but i cant find any good forums to get any info from. Any ideas ?


Regards Daryl

 

cr125?

 

No mate its a 250 but i must admit at first glance i also thought it was 125

 

Not being cheeky M8 but do you mind me asking how much you paid for that?? wouldnt mind another CR myself

PM me if you dont want to post it up on the open forum

 

I used to own a CR250r if you like the 2stroke then great but if you want driveability get the wr450f better torque and rideability. The 250 used to scream at me and on the jumps i found it hard to change gear all the time but with my 450 it just does it in virtually any gear!! Looks a nice bike though mate!!

Oh sold my cr250r for 1200!!!!

 

Had a result only Ł400 but it would only run if you bumped it and then it would sound a little rough. I was up first thing this morning and now its looks like this











It dont look to bad. there is a little bit of movement in the little ends and 1 of the reevs (spelling?) has a split. but it all looks in quite good shape.

 

wr450 is a yam enduro bike mate.

2 strokes are about a million times better than 4 strokes for jumping etc. 4 strokes can be dangerous when you're getting used to them as they have so much engine breaking that if you're not fully on the throttle all the way out of the jump you end up nose diving and going over the bars. 2 stroke all you need is a little blip of the throttle at the top of the jump and all's good.

 

Ł400 is not bad at all M8 well done

Best of luck with the build

 

Looks in good shape mate they need rebuilding often anyway. Just remember to very regularly change the oil i did mine about every 20hrs of riding!!!


reference the yam..i know its just personal prefernece as ive been riding probably as long as i could walk!!!!

 

used to have one meself absolute stonking bikes , good and reliable we
hen looked after , i used to give mine death every time i took it out and it used to just keep coming back for more lol ,

dnt know about any forums , but i had quite a good knowldge of mine , could always pm me if u get stuck mate ..



im gonna look for another one meself !

 

Cheers pal


I have never riden a 4 poper but what put me off was the price of a rebuild. Ok they dont blow up as often as a 2 stroke but as posted before if you change the oil regular then they aint to bad.

 

Thanx mate i will keep it in mind for the future

 

That's a good price mate, it look's like it could be from around 93 to 95 judging by the shape of the plastic's and it's over all condition.

A split reed will cuase it to run boggy, they are pretty cheap to replace anyhow. As for the wee end, I would get that sorted before it turn's into something nasty.

What's the top end like on her? Did you do any kind of compression test?

Should get good help and advice on there. American sites are probably better for advice though as they are all dead serious, on the British forums you get the usuall jokers who take the piss when you ask questions lol.

 

Its a 97 mate and the condition of it is ok, but has a lot of dirt that needs getting at. My bufty skills from the turbs will soon be used to get her sparkling. It also has a full DEP pipe on it which must be worth a bit ? I think its gonna need a full rebuild but i'll let the experts decide on that.

 

Mate, sorry to break this to you, but that ain't no 97, the CR250r changed to an aluminium frame in 97!

 

You know what i thought that ! I was looking at some pics from a 97 bike this morning before i left and they are defo an ally frame. How can you tell because they dont have a vin plate do they ?

 

lokks 92 -95 at best mate , mine was a 92 and looks exactly the same ,

didnt they change the showa front shockers on the 95 ???

 

Mate there should be a serial number stamped on the engine case by the oil filler hole and also a number stamped up at the steering column on the frame. Find the numbers and phone your local dealer to find out exactly what year it is.

 

very nice mate!looks about 92- 93 i reckon,

PM the frame number from the fork tube and i will tell you how old she is if you want?

 

Prox off here will get you any engine bits you require
I,ve just put all my new plastics on my lastest toy i,ll try and get some pics of it
