Hi there,
Wanted to share the cr250 i bought a few months ago. I'm going to take it apart completely, make everything fresh and do some upgrades.
The way i bought it, it had a strange combination of front plate and fender. Overall not a bad looking bike, nothing bended or broken at first sight. Needs a good clean and some nice parts!
I rode it a few times. The thing I really noticed is the lack of bottom end. It almost rides like a modern 125 with a really strong powerband. Not something I am used to (am riding a Crf250 since 2014) and a 1989 CR500 i just sold. So that's something I need to work on. So i'm planning on buying some lighter sprockets and probably a V-force will help. I do like the suspension and the way it turns, much sharper than my CRF!
So I took the bike apart and noticed the frame cracked at the coil. I need to get that welded.
Meanwhile the first few parts are coming in. I;m ordering a lot from the united states because of price and availability so I have to be patient sometimes.
And this beauty, showa A-kit rear shock (2008).
Will do updates frequently!
