Good for Cole to land a ride....having said that, it's too bad he's going to race the outdoors here in Canada. Our series is a shadow of what it was in the early 2000's. Lots of in-fighting & devisive political BS involved in Canadian moto for quite a few years, now. I hope that he makes the most of his...

I like the SST over the Fatty & stocker. The Air Styrker made the biggest difference, imo. The flywheel weight smooths it out, & helps with the over-rev. I don't like hard to ride hot-rodded motors either. Smooth & easy to ride is my goal. Race gas seems to make it run a bit nicer, as well. To answer your...

2003 CR250 ; J&D Jetting Air Stryker, 50/50 C-12/pump gas, Rad valve, 10 oz flywheel weight, FMF SST pipe & shorty have been installed since this photo was taken. Runs great, no more re-jetting when the sun goes behind a cloud, & it seems to rev a bit further now. Get your suspension done for your needs. Amaze your...

Tech 8 is a good boot. Maybe a little heavy. I'm on my 3rd pair. Fox F4 is ok too. A lot lighter than my Tech 8's. I had to buy a pair when I forgot my Tech 8's at home. D'oh!

Cole Thompson. Young Canadian kid from a good moto-family chasing the dream in the most competitive series would give all us Canadian fans something to stand up & shout about. I know, long shot right now, but the kid has heart & wants it bad. I'm tellin ya, he comes from hard-core moto stock. I used to practice at his...

@ jeffro503....this is the 2003 CR250 I spoke of. Got it from a friend who is a tech at our local Honda dealer. It's tight. @ Frodad78....I installed the carb, rad valve, & flywheel weight after i broke my clavical, going nuts & needed to something to do. I'll update you when the doc clears me to ride...

Nice KX HenryA! I'd love to score some Ohlins for my CR.

Looks like Dno & mxdude have the right idea. Nice clean bikes there, fellas!

I just spent a little (more) dough on this one; air striker carb, boyesen rad valve, & a10oz fly wheel weight. The only part that sucks is I haven't been able to ride it yet. I broke my right collar-bone on June 20th. I go for x-rays on the 8th, & I expect to be good to go after...

Ironman.

My buddy rides a 2011 450 Honda. He said that he felt "tippy" in slow corners, so we peeled back his stock seat cover & shaved off a little bit of seat foam, maybe 15 or 20mm max. re-attached the cover, & he's happy. Says he feels more secure in the corners when seated. Just do your shaving in small...

I had one of those bad-boys when I was 17! Bought it in the spring of '87, after my modded '83 XR350 locked up for good. That thing was stupid fast! I never raced it, just a crazy-ass farm boy field burner. I was my high-school wheelie king, I went for 18 telephone poles on a gravel road. yank it...

Not a 500AF, my friend. 2003 CR250 w/fmf fatty. Kinda looks like a 500 from this angle tho.

did it work?

Oh, he knew what he was getting himself into. We've been friends for a long time, so he knows the whole story. He's a tech by trade, so he'll be fine. To the OP; you did good, man. Really sweet score for you! Attack the corners! braaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaap!

You are not crazy. I might be though....I recently traded not one, but TWO 2007 ktm 450sx-f's for a mint 2003 cr250. Before you freak out, you need to know that those two katoom's were ka-booms! They both needed cranks, pistons, cylinders, & one needed major head repair. KTM #1 was purchased new, dropped both exhaust valves, destroyed everything. For...

I own two 2003 CR250's.
