[QUOTE="crazybeef, post: 960058, member: 56188"] I had a 91 model. The 91 engine is the same as the 90. The 90 and 91 are pretty much the same. The colors changed a little. In fact i still have the honda sales brochures for both years. These bikes are reliable and powerful, but the HPP valve sucks. It has too many parts and the square valves get stuck in the square guides. Chamfering the edge of the valves was popular. I also hated the copper sealing ring that went on the exhaust manifold to seal the pipe. Lots of high temp silicone was needed. The bike would barely run with the stock overly rich jetting. Some guys had problems with plugs fouling when the bike was cold even with good jetting. Some guys said the head needed the sparkpug lug cut down, others ran Champion plugs and some guys said it was the carb. I don't know because I never had a fouling problem once i sorted the jetting out. The forks on these bikes are horrible. 89-91 Honda inverted forks are junk. The 87-88 conventional forks were way better. At the least, you have to run the compression clickers all the way out. I don't know what a shop could do with them now,but back then much couldn't be done. I had mine revalved with heavier springs by PC and it didn't help much. The harshness of these forks is unbelievable. The forks ate seals and bushings. The shock was okay. Headshake was nasty at speed. Not so bad on the mx track, but scary on high speed offroad stuff. I rode several bikes with different set ups and none were very good. The 92 model was all new. It had a new engine and exhaust valve, chasis, suspension and color. The 92 was awesome. It is still sort of modern like, even today. The 92-96 Honda 250s are all great bikes. My dad had a 1987 and still says it's his favorite bike of all time. If I had to buy a 90 model for the Evo. class I would buy the RM 250 or YZ 250. [/QUOTE]
