My buddy 's CR250 just lost all compression. I suspect the ring (s) seized in the piston groove. It was time for a rebuild, but I run Golden Spectro and have NEVER had an engine failure. EVER.
Obviously Honda doesn't make the hp-2 oil. who does?
Anybody know what's up?
we were riding in the Moses lake sand dunes area and had stopped for a water break at the furthest away point possible. thank god for a quad guy on a 700 Raptor.
thanks Tony from Graham for the tow !

odds are very very high that the brand of oil used.
had nothing to do with the failure.
too many hours run..lack of general top end maintence, sucking dust /sand/ or dirt,, at any point in the engines life ,or on this ride, sound far far more likely
without details the list of possibilties are almost endless,
jettng/ airleak/ overheating/ lack of coolant..
but the very least likely is brand of premix oil.
On the 02-0whatever cr250 airbox issue, I removed the boot from the airbox, cleaned, then sealed the gap with silicone. Be sure to use clear because it can be seen.
I did have a buddy that was a little sloppy in his event prep. We hit a sand race, bike lost compression in the second moto. We pulled the filter. Dry. Dude didn't put any oil on his filter and sucked dirt through all day.
I have never seen a ring stick. Never. Maybe others have.
