L SNORE Added a reply to 78/80 cr250
9/18/2015 4:54am These filters are way better than the stockers but I found on my 79 model the carb bounces up & down eventually tearing the inlet manifold as it is unsupported at the rear, The filter or the rear of the carb needs something to hold it in place, I cut a piece of rubber sheet to fit inside the airbox...

3/25/2015 10:59pm Sorry, It's inside the lug, so comes up short, I'm now thinking the 89 model either has a wider hub or narrower triples, the wheel will not move over far enough even with a longer disc side spacer as it hits the caliper bracket.

I picked up a frame off a guy who was a team/supported rider back in the day, He says it was a preproduction bike (1985 CR125R), The frame number is KA3PF-3609, the frame number on my 85 CR125 is way longer & starts with JE01E which they are all supposed to, KA3 is the Honda code for CR125's...

8/27/2014 5:27pm As above, Maybe an ex team bike with all the fruit removed, I notice there appears to be welding of the crankcase under/around the inlet, Perhaps a factory mod? I think you may have something a bit special there

8/21/2014 4:30pm Have you tried loctite on the splines,make sure both surfaces are clean (no oil grease or rust etc) & that you put the shifter in the right spot first time,you will have some time to re adjust if not before it goes off,if possible leave overnight to cure
