[QUOTE="jmccown, post: 1189583, member: 77428"] This is my 2nd 2001 CR 250. I owned one several years back and liked it so much I bought another. This one has a few bugs so here goes: Exhaust was absolutely shot when I got it - replaced with FMF fatty and Q series silencer Bike has some issues with either jetting, power valve or reeds - not sure. Runs good and smooth on low end but when it opened up on the pipe it "sputters" and then clears out fine. I can run at low speeds and then open it up again and it does the same thing. As long as I'm on the pipe hard it stays running fine. Don't know if this is the carb, reeds or power valve. The guy I bought it from used cheap 2 cycle oil from a convenience store, so I initially thought it just needed some good stuff ran through it to clean it out. I rode it several hours yesterday and to no avail it never got any better. My buddy rode it and he seemed to think it needed rejetted for the new pipe, since the old one was stock. Other issue - I noticed after riding yesterday that the front right fork is leaking. Is replacing fork seals a big deal on these bikes. I love this bike and it is a blast to ride, but want to get the bugs worked out first. I need some advice on how to get it right. I appreciate everyone's help. If I can't get it right I'm gonna go 4-stroke :laugh: [/QUOTE]
