Should i trade???

[thejake456]

Need help!!!

ok. i have a 1985 cr250. it is all stock, the front brakes dont work, has hand gaurds, and has about 10% tred on the tires. it is smoking and needs rejetted. it also doesnt have the right exaust on it. (it is from a diff. bike) it is pretty much junk!!!

i am telling you this cause my one friend wants to trade me his bike strait up!

he has a 1999 cr80. it has a full FMF exaust, brand new maxis tires, and is bored 80 over. that little thing rips!!!



should i???

yes

Take it, if you don't like it, sell it for more than you would have gotten for the 250 and buy another older bike.

 

[atkkid250]

do it up

do it up, if it runs well its automatically better then the 250 lol.

 

[thejake456]

when you get a bike boared out. do you then have to get new rings sooner than you would if it wasnt???

 

[ysr89]

If you're talking about boring out the 80 to make it comparable to the 250, don't bother. If you trade (and you should,) you'll have a running bike, but you will have to sacrifice ALOT of power. If I were you, I'd trade the 80 straight up for an older 125 or 250. I just scored a 1987 CR125 for $200, New piston kit, cylinder, cylinder head, stator, clutch, FMF Fatty and Powercore silencer. Guy lost interest in the project and it sat till he needed garage space. Good deals are out there, keep your eyes peeled and you'll find one. Visit Craigslist!

that kid must be dumb.

 

[thejake456]

well i did the trade! now i need to get a manual for it. does anyone know how much oil i put in the motor?? and is 10w 30 ok???

 

[ysr89]

Personally I use ATF Type F in my 2 strokes. As for amount, there should be a fill amount in cc's somewhere close to the filler cap.

 

[thejake456]

i think it sais like 600 sumthing. does that sound right.

yes

 

[thejake456]

what does that mean???

 

[ysr89]

It means the oil capacity is 600cc's

 

[thejake456]

it says 600cm3. how many quarts of gear oil do i put in it??? what kinds do you recomend????

That means 600cc's. Use a 10/30 or 10/40 motorcycle oil in the tranny. Some guys use ATF, I don't but WTF. It seems that they do it without killing their bikes.

TheJake, you should go to your local powersports store and pick yourself up a ratio rite cup. Theyre about two bucks and it has all of the wierd metric mesurements on the side, so it makes it really easy to use. Theyre the only way to go

 

[Mike_DirtLivin]

I would, brand new tires, FMF

I would,

go for it
