[QUOTE="DougTx, post: 1316524, member: 98131"] Hey guys, Really looking for some advice here. I have a strong XR400 I ride and love for trail. Nothing much to do to it and I wanted to learn so I got a 1988 CR250. It is a little rough but it runs, it smokes on start up, won't idle, smokes but less when it runs and I have seen a little bit of wet black soot/oil on the read fender behind exhaust (it starts on second kick and I can ride it but man it is like chitty-chitty bang bang). I bought it to work on and learn and paid nearly nothing for it. I ordered a Clymer manual and am willing to spend some money and time learning. Any good ideas on books, websites etc on learning to rebuild and fix up a bike? I have tools and basic mechanichal knowledge (built a few street cars in to race cars etc). I think it will need a top end at least? Carb re-build for sure but hey, that is what I want... Any advice or thoughts other than give up now are appreciated... :) Many thanks everyone.... Doug in Dallas 2002 XR400R (love that thumper) 1988 CR250 ...well.. it could be good one day for a learning tool [/QUOTE]
