Just put some time in on the bike in the shed. Took some time to locate a die grinder. One of the welds was stopping the motor from sitting in properly.

Re: this makes no sense.

lets see if any of you hoons on here have an answer for this.... My 91 has always had a very weak spark. It's my first 500 and I was pretty disappointed with the bike and wanted to sell it because I thought it was way overrated. So it just sat in the garage and I stuck to my 250. I rode another 500...

I believe that head stay is the answer the motor looks like it was moving up and down and it makes sens to me that the head stay even if its long will stop that movement and i don't think there is any need to stop side movement coz there shouldn't be any

So I have been studding all the cr250 ignition posts these are my findings: The Analogue (’96 and before) Attributes Direct fit no mods required (93-96) (may require bracket mods for CDI / Coil) Increased handling performance…. Does not want to “stand up” in corners Added mid range and top end. I h...

The car started to make a knocking noise when it shifted to second. So to try to keep if from flying apart it coasted to a 9.04 in the 1/8th. I don't think this motor has 1000 miles on it. There are a couple other questionable pistons but other than that everything else seems new. This was in my bu...

you need to re-drill the slots in the stator plate to get about 10deg more advance. set the piston at true tdc and you will see how far out the timming mark on the flywheel is to the stator plate use a timming light to set it up, the marks should line up at 2000rpm hope that helps thanks mate il ch...

To be honest youd have to re-jet the carb to suit the new ignition and that aint to hard, leave the carb settings at what they were before the ignition swap over and go from there. yes i think the jetting is the big problem as i took the needle from the 500 keihin wich is thicker than the mikuni 25...
