After purchasing a 05 CR 250 I've came across a small issue. The past owner raced it in either the B or A class MX. The bike runs very well, but only on Renegade SX2 fuel which is leaded & oxygenated. I've tried VP C12, Sunoco 110 & various other leaded but NOT oxygenated race fuels. It runs like crap on 93 octane pump gas & leaded race fuel. I would continue to use Renegade SX2 if it wasn't $21.00 per gallon! :(
As I've slowly found more time to ride, so it's getting more expensive as time goes on. Mainly riding woods now so we will ride all day long and burn 3-4 gallons each time we go out.
With the pump gas & the leaded fuel it will run rough, smoke more then it should & spooge out the silencer all over the swingarm & plastics. With the SX2 it runs like a raped ape & does not smoke or spooge.
I want to jet the bike for 93 octane pump gas or atleast a cheaper blend of race gas. Where do I start? It seems to have the most issues from idle to mid throttle. So I was wondering if I should go one jet leaner on the pilot & move the clip one position leaner. I've read that oxygenated race fuel generally makes the engine run richer. But in this case it's acting the complete opposite. From just off idle with pump gas it will sound like a studder or slight miss. The throttle seems more jumpy and not nearly as smoothe with the expensive fuel. What really annoys me is while riding at the lower speeds the bike loads up pretty bad and is really hard to get it to clean out. Every couple minutes I have to rev it to the moon to get all the excess fuel pushed out.
I am running amsoil dominator at 32:1
Only other mods that I can visualy see is V-force reeds & pro circuit pipe & silencer. I was wondering if the motor was built and that is why he was running the oxygenated fuel or if it was just used for maximum performance. The jug & head still look factory.
Where should I start?
