I have gotten to the point where all my bikes have been massaged within an inch of their lives and I've hit a brick wall on things to tinker with. My solution was to get a completely clapped out 90's CR250 just for something to work on. I managed to find almost the perfect candidate through a Craiglist bike wanted ad. A '92, not far away, that the owner had actually gotten the bottom end done, the jug replated, and then basically put it all on the shelf because of time and/or money. He also had the frame professionally blasted, but then rattle canned it, but that's another story... Frame is off at the powder coaters, and the engine case cleaning has begun.
I figure I've got a sold month of something to mess around with. The biggest obstacle I can see it locating a non clapped out airbox. Most of the other parts I can scrounge of eBay, or recondition myself.

Thought you might be interested in that if it fits your model.
My main concern was the airbox, but now that I have that under control, I think everything is pretty starightforward.
Frame should come back from powder coating this week, and I should have the motor ready to pop in when it does. In the meantime, lots and lots of cleaning....

Frame is back, motor assembled, all linkage and steering bearings replaced.
When I was pulling the old seat cover off, I found another seat cover underneath! Good thing too, because the top one was held on with house staples and thumb tacks.
