RideRed121 Started a new thread 02-07 Cr250 Blue Radiator Hose kit?

8/26/2024 7:11am
I'm about to break my bike down to go through and clean the frame and motor up. Just restoring the bike slowly. When I put it back together I want to go with blue radiator hoses but I'm having a hard time sourcing any for a 2002 cr250. It seems like any quality ones I find are out of stock...

That's good to hear!! I already have the aluminum brightener from Napa so I'm going to let it eat on the frame and get it good. The motor however will be alot of elbow grease I already know.. I have a ton of scotch brite pads and the little bits that go on a dremel. It's all going down this...

I have an love that stuff, but I'm not going for the polished look on the frame. Just the factory brushed look. I think I'm just going to give it a good degrease bath and use the scotch brite pads on a dremel in the tight spots, followed by some shout, and then a little aluminum brightener at the very...

I definitely prefer to stick with OEM but I cannot find the OEM cable anywhere for a 2000 cr250. I'll try the Motion Pro out since it's only $6...I could swear I remember someone saying the Motion Pro cables were not always OEM length though. Worth a try I guess.

I hate that that is the answer seeing as I just bought this one brand new lol but I am about 99% certain that it's the correct fix. Oh great, that 2000 cr250 cable is no longer available on motosport...

So I just picked up a 2002 cr250 and the guy swapped the TMX carb for the PWK. I put a new throttle tube (and new 02 cr250 throttle cable) on and I can get it to open the slide and snap back shut well, but I've noticed the throttle tube itself has a ton of slack before engaging. Like...

I picked some Shout up at the grocery store to use this weekend. It's been 10 years since I've owned a bike and all the old tricks are coming back to me Smile Guys correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Simple Green HD (Purple) actually is safe on the aluminum and doesn't etch like the regular green...

Oh yeah, I've seen that stuff. The youtuber DirtBikeRepair uses it on a bunch of stuff. May have to give it a try. For now I am going to bathe the parts in Simple Green HD Purple and I picked up some Black Magic Aluminum Cleaner in the spray bottle. We'll see how that does. Does anyone know if the...

Is it a polish or a liquid? I was hoping for something I could spray the frame down with once I got it bare to really clean it like the mag cleaner while brushing and using scotch brite pads.

So Eagle One Mag Wheel Cleaner has been the go to for getting that new look on dirt stained aluminum frames for quite a while, but they discontinued it. What is the new equivalent of that? I have some of the aluminum brightener from Napa but I know that it is SUPER aggressive, so that can be a last resort...
