Nice bike Sofiedog. Forgot to mention that when saw the picture of the base valves at the beginning of this link I wanted to find a used of the CR forks so I could use these valves when I modified my XR650L forks. Too much $$$ even on ebay so I machined my own gold valves and it took 2-3 attempts to get the shims right for me. The compression holes on the stock XRL base valves were only about the size of a wooden pencil lead and wouldn't pass much oil. That is why the stock forks rattled my...

7/19/2019 10:56am Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge...I just rebuilt this '88...forks are stock and work pretty well for me with Honda HP 5wt oil...not, the recommended Honda ATF. I look forward to doing some of the tuning mods you guys are using to get the most out of these old school forks.

6/17/2019 3:52pm It says the Moose Racing Hardparts 0450-0269 fork seal and bushing kit is compatible with the '83 CR250...I think I'll order the kit and try them.

What are the bushings made of? Can you buy 4 of the ones that are too short, then split the difference and have a machine shop cut them, so you can stack the two in the fork on each side, so they are the proper height?

The powerband on my 79 YZ250 is a little peaky also. I did read that Yamaha lowered the ports in 79 to try and smooth it out, but it still comes on suddenly at about 3000-3500 RPM.

Well done! If I remember correctly the 88-89”s came with very rich jetting from factory, thinking you will end up in the 175 main range with pump gas, FmF & Pro Circuit still have jetting charts to these old bikes on their sites I believe. Not sure if you already checked but, on some models the spark plug did not thread deep enough into the combustion chamber & caused jetting issues.
