I too have a crf250 its interesting to see the condition of another’s engine. Just curious, are those the original valves that came in the bike?
No Bob, all original parts. I have extra OE intake parts but didn't install them. I thought they were going to crap out sooner cuase they tightened up so I bought the valves while I have a few bucks. Now that I look at everything I should have bought the exhaust parts too. I want to do the Kibblewhites but I feel sorta giulty about spending the money when I should be saving for bikes for the kids.whenfoxforks-ruled said:Joe did one oem valve job, no seat cuts, yes? If you can get fuel in above ground, good. Anything below ground, not much difference, as long as its at least premium grade. Vintage Bob
_JOE_ said:Rich, would running VP car fuel be better than pump gas?
Anyone?_JOE_ said:Does a new OE cylinder head come machined and ready for valve train?
Pete Payne said:Rich, what is the "scag" in pump gas ?
I really like VP C-12.
Ol' Steve 125 is hooked on VP MR-9 right now . A little too pricie for me .
Be careful what you wish for, I have seen some forks get real pricey to service. Vintage Bob_JOE_ said:Hopefully we stay busy at work this winter so I can the boingers serviced too. :nod:

It'll be a stretch for the elves to get my valves done in time, I'm not gonna push my luck. ;)RM_guy said:Christmas is coming up, ask Santa for some tools :)
I'm around 175-190lbs in gear depending on what type of riding and what time of year... ;) For some strange reason I'm always heavier in the spring? :whoa:whenfoxforks-ruled said:You do not measure the fluid on changes. Only on total rebuilds. The oem has a sweet time table, and how much to put back in it, got a stop watch? How much do you weigh in gear? Vintage Bob
