1992 CR250 RESTORATION

Best of luck with your resto.....I had a '92 like that bike and it was a really good bike. Looking at some of the close-up pictures.....it's a really good thing you got it to fix up. Hacked nuts and odd bolts....the hallmark of IDGAF mechanic-wannabe's

Is that a sand cast ignition cover?

ART - Manufactures cast/stock pistons.

Nice! ^^

I've used a rag or a penny.

You got yourself quite a project there.

The 92 CR250 was a major redesign for Honda and was the last version of the steel framed CRs.
There were some problem areas. Engine wise, the new case design did not flow enough oil between
the transmission and the right side case cover, so clutch problems were common. Honda came out
with a fix which consisted of drilling a couple of holes in the right side case. The problem was corrected
by 93. The other problem was swingarm failures between the extruded and cast section. The common fix
for this was a weld repair for the cracks and to run more chain slack and a larger OD bottom chain roller
from a 91 CR250.

Looking at your pictures, it appears that motor let go at some point and also suffered some kind of impact
at that engine mount sufficient enough to crack the case. You can go the cheap route and have the case
welded or I recommend you spring for a set of used later model cases (93-96), from a swap meet or Ebay.
The newer cases will have better oiling and hopefully no cracks to repair.

At the very least, you need to replace all the bearings, seals, shift pawls, plungers, springs, clutch basket
(outer and inner), clutch plates, clutch springs, CS sprocket, and top end. I'm sure the power valve will need
some serious clean up and decarbon and maybe some replacement parts as well. You're talking about a
22 year old dirt bike with some serious use and neglect from the looks.

Probably a good idea to work up a budget totaling how much you'll need for all the replacement parts and the
time involved to do the work and then decide if this is something you still want to, or can afford to do.

Good luck with it.

Nice job Vince!

Those look great! I look forward to watching the progress of your rebuild.

Leave the bumps in place. Removing them will decrease intake port velocity.

Not Perfect, but how about this?
