I planned to leave it at its original length because it seemed to me that the fork KYB PSF of my 450 CRF 2013 was longer, but after the assets put side by side, they are the same length, so if I leave the 'shock absorber dive, the bike will poke nose (ok it will be super handy like that, but I lose stability in a straight line with the risk of guiding, so not to lose too much race of the rod of the damper, I'm going to climb a wedge (I have it but it's steel, I'm afraid it's gnawing the rod, it's this piece that helped me to make the plan with the odds) and I would then modify the value Race Sag and Free Sag, to balance the bike.
L.A Sleeve - Wiseco Piston and all in original dimension.
just a heads up, dont use normal or petroleum based grease in the brake pins, it will swell and ruin the seals/boots very quickly, the proper gease for those is this silcone based stuff made for brake pins/sliders. can get it at any auto parts store
The Shop
I put this one there because it is waterproof
I almost had the same in 1988, same engine and frame, happy to have found the 1991 model that I wanted before stopping the MX a few years.
get the silcone brake grease in there

thank you for the info
Or find a person well equipped and able to make me this part to measure, because I do not believe that it exists, at least more in the KYB catalog, the complete rods are out of stock and more apparently manufactured, but an email to my friends from KYB Europe will confirm to me if it is still possible to have these complete rods or just the rear shock foot.
In short, in the meantime, I need to find the emergency solution
and I can not anymore see the frame in this state, vividly repainted.
So I'll see if it is complete, otherwise I would mix between KYB and Showa, so it will be either a Shoyaba or Kayasho
and here are the holds that I was made, one plastic and one aluminum
but in the end I think I would not use it on this project, maybe on a next
It is sometimes necessary to make concessions, sometimes to find the rare parts, sometimes to choose and to adapt solutions ....
In short it is not a sport of any rest, but when we like that, we enjoy.
So as you know from the beginning, I adapt suspensions of last generation and today I continue to think about the side of the fork and more particularly the triple clamps and the abutment of the frame.
So I blew the stop "original" which was not really like the origin, wear or modification to have a greater radius of action? I do not know, but the two sides already were not aligned.
So considering that anyway in its current state it could not fulfill its action, it jumped and I'm going to make a new one, once that is the part part in painting, or I find the plan for the attachment of the aluminum clutch cover protector.
more than refining the adjustment and then well it will weld properly on the frame.
Pit Row
I will see later in use, if there will be need to return to some settings, but thanks to my experience since my start at 16, I very rarely had to return to my work, whether for me or for my customers (except evolution of those if they have to keep their bike) without wanting to appear pretentious, far from me this idea I leave it to others.
I do not say more about the changes that will be made, we will see later
HINSON Hi-Performance Clutch Basket (no laughs anymore) and small washers alu for "Facory..ing" the CR
I also take the opportunity to transfer the traces of molding, to make the tees more "factory"
In short, you see, I'm very shit on this bike, but I want the final result is at the top and it makes some drivers want to live in the south-east of France, give me their motorcycles in restoration as soon as I have my new local soon (logically at the beginning of the year if all is well)
The Hinson basket like many others, are delivered without the gear which are therefore to be recovered on the old ones.
As you can see, the original one was + that fucked and impossible to rectify again since it had already been done many times, we can see very well the gap between each edge and the deformation + of the impacts of the discs, I had hope of the preserved to limit the costs but impossible, then with the luck that I had on the Hinson, as much to pass on the top.
Here are a lot of photos with each step done for the reassembly of the new bell.
"Maxx has no time to spare with twisted clutch basket and rusty bikes, there's bending sheet metal and welding in the air! MRP Garage's next challenge is already on track »
For adjustment we will see once in place on the engine, so it's not for tomorrow again
Being curious to know how it was under this ugly gray paint, since on the description they are noted to be made of stainless steel, so I stripped the paint then go to the brush and here I am with a very nice Factory, personally 'really like.
I got 2 small scratches on the range of the gearbox outlet seal, a small shot of epoxy metal to be certain that there will be no micro oil leakage.
Today some news
Thanks to the company JIVC ACCESS specialist sale accessories, equipment and parts for the bike, for its involvement in my personal project of restoration of my 250 CR of 1991, with the gift of this plastic kit.
JIVC ACCESS se situe 6 rue DE LA SABLIERE, 25600 VIEUX CHARMONT - France

Water pump and valve bearings received.
More a few small parts that will also have their importance on the final result, even if it does not show ..
Handlebar mounting cones, coolant hose clamps, gearbox output, steering bearing set.
I told myself that I was going to try to revive it.
I did not find any PC Works Pipe in new, they stopped production and I do not like Platinum
