[QUOTE="plynn41, post: 1355293, member: 107560"] After 30 years of being away from dirt riding, I've recently bought a '97 cr250r with a newly rebuilt engine including main bearings. I'm happy with my deal ($1125), and rode the bike before and saw the machine shop receipts before buying it so I totally trust what the former owner told me. I've since researched everything thing I could find about this model and fully concur that the suspension is painfully harsh. However, I have read that the engine is a rocketship from mid to upper, and this is not what I'm feeling. My bike has great low to mid power but feels flatter on the top. It doesn't seem to have an upper rpm miss, which might indicate the coil. I wonder if I'm jetted too lean on top? I wouldn't be dissappointed, except that what I've read has led me to expect more top end. The bike easily wheelies in the first three gears, and can be made to pull the front wheel in fourth and fifth--but it doesn't keep stretching my arms into the over rev. Any ideas or suggestions? Btw, the chain and sprockets are stock, reeds are stock, I don't know about the jetting, bike has an FMF "fatty" pipe. [/QUOTE]
