Hello all, I have an 89 CR5 with 2008 CRF swingarm,shock,forks,triple clamp etc.
I like running a irc m5b on my 5 but it appears I can only get a 110 instead of a 140 for the 19 inch wheel....can someone verify this?
if I can find a 140/90/19 that is what I want to run on the rear.....
thanks.

01 CR250 rear shock questions..
you all helped so much whith the forks I though I would hit you up with some questions about the rear shock.
I bought a new spring and have no idea how to change the old one out.
I cant find anything in my manuals to help so Im hoping one of you can clue me in on how to change the oil and spring?

If you send it away you are taking somewhat of a risk. This can be mitigated by selecting a shop that a) knows where you ride b) will offer a re-do for free and c) being real honest about your capabilities. I stopped by Grant Langston's place and had my WR suspension re-done for SoCal GP's and moto...

spring rate/valving
I am getting mixed messages depending on who I talk to so I am back to the knowledge base of the board :D before I ship the suspension off to be redone..... some folks are telling me to spring them a bit on the heavy side and make up for it with lighter valving...the thinking apparently being (from ...

HELP, Im in dire need.
When I tore my 89 down, I discovered the last time the swingarm bolt saw grease was in 88 when it was assembled. long story short I damaged one of the flanged races that are pressed into the side cases that your swingarm bolt goes through. I called Honda and they said "How did you get that out?...

atleast once a year I tear down and re-grease everything. ofcoarse every few months it seems like I come up with some reason to tear the thing apart. How do you like your Gen 1 ? Just wondering, the 89 was hammering me and I am hopeful the Gen1 will be all I think it will. Also do you find once a y...

Re: swing arm
I take mine apart every 4 or 5 rides, and grease the ever lovin hell out of it with Bell Ray water proof grease. I had a 1987 CR 500 that the guy never serviced, I bought it in 1988 and tore into it, and wound up having to replace all of the bearings and races, wound up being about a $300 bill back...
