Picked up a low hour CR250. Plan to strip it down to the frame, soda blast everything as it’s pretty dirty and stained, freshen up the motor and all new bearings for the frame and get the suspension revalved possibly kashima coated.
I’ve got a scalvini exhaust, pro circuit ti2 muffler, lots of carbon fibre bits to go on. Still trying to decide if I will get a keihin airstryker or keep the mikuni.

Are you familiar with Black diamonds Cr250 build?
Nice operating room!
Yeah very familiar with it, always look at the build for inspiration.
I plan to make it look very similar to my 07 cr125 build I did around 18 months ago.
The Shop
Looks like you will have your work cut out to get that one running
Had a few more packages arrive but still waiting for more to come through.
Do you have any advice when it comes to a keihin airstryker swap?
I have not used MX bond pipe spacer
Clear decal will protect your frame from the side panel rub if you don't put something under it it will just get worse
2015 CRF footpeg mounts are a better design and move the pegs up slightly (Feels like it). I have them on mine.
Suspension has been sent off to get kashima coated and I’ve got a set of applied red 22mm offset triple clamps on there way. I’ve sourced an 02 yz250 airstryker that I should get by the end of the week.
Hoping my order of genuine parts will turn up this week so I can put the 2015 footpeg mounts on and my titanium propegs on.
I fitted the 2015 CRF footpeg brackets with new hardware, had a slight problem trying to fit the Propegs titanium footpegs in as the oem spring doesn’t fit around the peg correctly. I’ll get my old man to machine a notch so it sits properly. Had to do the same thing when I put these pegs on my 125.
The swingarm received some new pivot works bearings and a new rear brake hose guide, it’s all complete and ready to go.
The keihin airstrker carby came this week, it’s off a 2001 YZ250. It’s been cleaned and soda blasted, it’s ready to be pulled apart and rebuilt. I plan on hooking up the tps on it.
Pit Row
Got my artwork back for my build. I’ve gone with more of an 06 look as I prefer it over the 07 and kept it pretty simple. Matt from Motokit has killed it with the design, can’t wait to see it on the bike.
Replaced all the linkage bearings, removed the steering stem from the oem triple clamps and put it in the new applied triple clamps, machined a notch in the footpegs so they’ll fit correctly, nickel plated all the linkage bolts, pulled down the brakes and rebuilt the callipers, just waiting on the master cylinder rebuild kits.
Who supplied the carbon rear shock guard? Good fitment?
Was going to comment about the carburetor selection, but see that you've already picked up a Keihin.
On a 2005 I had, I liked the Mikuni better than the Keihin after I had the squish corrected. Made a post on TT about it: https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1191880-carburetor-heresy-i-like-m…
But, I have recently installed a STIC into a 2014 KTM 150SX and it made a very noticeable improvement in the top end/over rev. A PWK equipped with the STIC would probably be the best of both worlds on a CR250.
