1991 CR250R Project Bike Build

[Maxx MRP]

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted anything because no news on the progress of the reassembly of the motorcycle
but I found Hinson clutch discs (to go with the Hinson basket) and parts to remake the original suspensions that will go on the 125 CR 1992 and I fit the tires.

Thanks for the update... it's really coming along!

Hi everyone, a great time I haven't posted for this bike, but I had a lot of work to do with the suspensions tuning requests.
I received about 3 weeks ago, parts that I wanted to have and especially the shock absorber link and its rocker, which are very brittle with the wear and tear of time.
I also took the exhaust> cylinder mounting flange and the chain tensioners.
From now on I know that I would not have a problem at this level and I could ride calmly when the bike is reassembled.
Solid and anodized from England via Phil Denton Engineering.

A little while ago that I didn't come to post the progress of the work on my bike.
Here are parts returned from anodize

well, I got back to work on the bike a bit, December is a little quieter for me in terms of work, because they are preparing the end of year celebrations and Christmas gifts

here are two videos of the work that begins on the fork.

I'm sorry it's in french

For my American and English (and international) friends I tried to speak so that it would be easier for you to understand the video.
I hope that is the case. Tell me in the comments.

So here it is the restoration of the swingarm of the 250 CR 1991, after the suspensions (see the other videos in the playlist)
Thanks for watching it.
See you soon.

I have enjoyed this post very much. not everyone can afford to buy new bikes but buy used ones and fix them up over time. this has been very informative. I am looking forward to seeing how it comes out!

 

[Maxx MRP]

Thank you Guys ;)

That's it, I cracked up, I unpacked the frame that had been sleeping since March 2020 in the box, it had been sandblasted and repainted in powder coating.

I am happy to finally start rebuilding the bike, after all these long months (and years) that I have started to collect the parts.
I really want to ride with it

I don't know much about making youtube videos but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn on translations in the captions? I would like to understand yoor videos

I'm also looking for how to do it, I can't get the system to work, I understand that you have to write the translated text below each word. I'm going to see if there is an online software that can write a text while listening to my videos in French, all I have to do is copy that, but I haven't found anything for the moment and it bothers me for you.

Hi friends
the reassembly of the motorcycle has progressed well.
there is not much left before going to ride.

some videos to show you where I am in rebuilding and optimizing the bike

 

[Maxx MRP]

Hi guys
the bike is finished, here is probably the last video of its reassembly (I only have 2 or 3 things left to do on it) and then I go to ride it.
On this video I managed to activate the subtitles it will be easier for you to follow the video, I will do the same on the other videos.
See you soon

I changed the carburettor, it worked well, I still enriched the mixture because of suspicious broken engine noises and this Sunday we went to drive in Italy and the engine broke.
piston cylinder blockage

I will enrich again, I was to pass to the adjustment of the original carburettor, with larger glcleurs than those given here above.
And I'm thinking of putting more oil in my premix, I always run at 2% I'm going to go to 3%.
I use the BelRay H1-R
