Need some opinions, cause ive heard they are better used for offroad.. Oh yea, merry fuckinn christmas

I always found that on the CR250 it is a good idea to replace the 5 (out of the total 7) clutch plates that are aluminum with steel ones to match the other 2. It will give you a little bit of flywheel effect and also your clutch will last waaay longer and the oil will stay cleaner.

I was just about to say, I replaced my RM250 clutch to get rid of the token Suzuki basket creep with a heavy duty offroad clutch by I believe Moose? Same thing. Heaveir steel clutch plates. mellowed the bike out.

You said you rode it down the street. why dont you give it at least a half dozen trips to a motocross track before you go and add weight to the flywheel. you might find that after getting used to the lightswitch beast powerband you can use it to your advantage.

Hitting the eggnog a bit early you fucker?Laughing Merry fuckin X-mas to you too!

By the way, is it okay to use X-mas in place of Christmas here?

And what they said, if you have aluminum clutch plates, toss in steels. And why the f&^k are you wanting to tone it down after you did all that fancy port work to make it all Honey Badger in the first place. You do know what the honey badger would say don't you???

I keep going back and forth on my CR500AF. I use a 7oz weight for a while and then start to miss the snap in the engine, take it off and then the bike takes too much energy to ride so I put it back on.

I just took it off yesterday. I'll probably put it back on in a month or two.

enlighten me on this honey badger talk? Dude i didnt realise the thing would be this potent.. the power is really strong on the botten, hits the midrange hard and rips ur arms threw the overrev.. Ive never really ridden a cr with this power curve all over..I know thats why i did all that motor work but, shit! its kinda on the verge of almost too much.. Merry X Mas newmann

Ive ridden alot of bikes over the years bru.. i know when a bike has a little bit too much hit.. I will try the steel plates and take er down to the track and see whats happenin.

Honey badger doesn't give a shit.

Neither do Jonas, Rommulus, or Edgar.

MXSkills, hey there!

Before adding a fly wheel weight, try gearing it higher and going richer on the jetting. If its still too much..then throw a weight on. I know I posted this in another thread but when I was a wee boy I had to do the same thing. Slower bikes are faster Smile

you have to be pro to modify or adjust anything on your bike.

Merry fuckin XMas Hando! My gearing is pretty good ratio 14/53. Mabey its cause i havent ridden a 250 2 stroke in a while let alone onw with a full blown done up motor.. just gotta find some a bit more traction in this beast.. i will try to go a bit richer and see whats up.. peace

He is still fuming over a comment in another thread. Don't mind him. He's just a vigilante hell bent on revenge. Just don't cross him.

haha. I don't think that was how he meant to come accross. He is making a good point, just attacking the wrong dude (you) for it.

I'm not attacking anyone, just spreading the vital logic.

hey, dont put black wheels on that honda either, apparently you cant have black wheels until you are pro either.

I feel ya Bronson. I hate when people hate on guys for having nice bikes. I don't care if a guy can barely start a bike, if he has a clean, trick ass bike, that is KICK ASS.

That pic is trippy mxskillz. lol

I sometimes run a 6oz on my 2 stroke and good throttle control. only negative with flywheel weight is you loose engine breaking.

It was your first ride.

After a week you 'll want it faster.

If track conditions that you frequent are more dry slick, additional flywheel weight is usually beneficial, as it mellows the hit. On the other hand, sand , loam, or high traction surfaces usually favor less weight, where the more sudden delivery of rev's is usually what works in these conditions.

All dirt bikes feel really fast on the street. Ride it at the track first. You can also increase your main jet one size and drop your needle clip one slot as they will make the entire powerband feel soft.

Steel clutch plates do very little since the clutch only spins 1/3 the speed of the crank, greatly reducing the inertia effect.

It has been my very personal experience that the best way to slow down a 2 stroke is to buy cheap rear sprockets in smaller sizes. Drop one tooth at a time until the power is long and smooth but you don't fall out between gears. You will go faster becasue you will shift a lot less, more similiar to riding a 450F. This really assists in fast lap times.

Fior instance stock gearing on a 250SX is 13/48. And stock or lightly modified this bike really needs a 13/49. Otherwise it's just too gappy between gears. After some pretty heavy engine modification I had a 293cc SX (300 cylinder) I was running a 13/47 and the bike pulled every gear very strongly. Plus instead of a minimum of 2 shifts for every straightaway I could very often get away w/ only 1. I had more flexibility coming out of the turns as I no longer had to grab the next gear 3' out of the darn turn. So now I'm just wrapping up building a 314cc stroker engine and if it's succesful I'll be able to drop to a 13/46 sprocket for darn near 450F length gears.

Good Luck.
