cam99 Started a new thread reliving my youth, help finding parts for 85 cr250
6/9/2019 6:20pm Just picked up a 1985 CR250 , my teenage dream bike, and trying to find some things to do a light restoration on it. Been burning up google but not finding a great source. Best luck i've had is dc plastic, but wondering if theres some others I've missed. Looking for a seat cover, swingarm decals,chain guard, misc stuff. Thanks.

cam99 Started a new thread Ever hear of Bob Hannah Give away bikes in 1985?
5/3/2017 8:47am So the story I was told when I bought my 85 CR 250 project is that the bike was a give away at a Honda dealership and Bob Hannah autographed (engraved) the gas tank of these bikes.

4/1/2017 1:47pm It's pretty hosed. Flushed out the rads and seemed to get good results from that, but will need to do some love to the water pump area. saving the engine for last. I rode it before buying, so it's all there but probably have it freshened and figure out what i'm doing with the clutch case

3/28/2017 7:04am Thanks guys. Slowly making progress with it, but every turn finding more evils of a 32 year old mx bike. Such as theres a big chunk missing out of the cases where the swing arm bolt passes through so need to pick those up too. Ebay has been pretty good for this stuff. One step forward and two back.

3/25/2017 4:40pm So tore down my 85 cr250 and found a troubling problem. Where the cases meet at the swing arm bolt there is a big chunk missing from both halves. Wondering if cr125 cases were the same, just different jug/bore on the top end. Might be able to get a good 85 125 bottom end without breaking the bank, otherwise I'm...

3/13/2017 7:00pm Just googled some pictures. Yup the atac chamber is definitely gone on my bike. So DG is the only pipe that will fit it now? If so I might as well just get this one straightened out

3/13/2017 6:50pm Hmm, I will have to look. I haven't had a MX bike in over 25 years so its safe to say I'm out of the loop
