77 WR250 back from the dead

ill need about 30 master links to make that new chain, send it to me

It's been a few months since my last update. I finally got the tank painted and final assembly work done except for connecting the ignition wires and filling the gearbox and mixing fuel/oil. I got a little made in Sweden decal off ebay for the tank but I'm not sure where it goes.

Btw I did some searching on the gearbox oil which is supposed to be SAE20 but a lot of guys are using ATF.
3in1 makes a 20wt machine oil. Is that ok? I’m confused.

briggs and stratton oil is 20 wt and atf - f the borg warner oil is close and works ok. change atf regularily

From Orange, ct? Everyone, in our area we should do a meet and greet ride at the thomaston, dam someday. You can ride and maybe we could use the picnic area to grill some dogs, n burgers too.

If I use ATF-F like how regularly should it be changed? I found a straight 20 weight non detergent at Tractor Supply.
ATF is way easier to find than 20wt

I used to ride there all the time in the late 80's early 90's. It's changed a lot with restrctions and of course the state of CT extorting for registration fees.
It's one of the few places left around CT. I'd be up for a meet up.

depends on riding i guess, but if i do a big event of several hundred k's or so then i will change it out. happy to leave it in for half a dozen 2hr afternoon sessions.

Heres the placement of that sticker on a stock 75 360cr, between the triple clamp and the tank cap. Your bike will be in the same general area.

Perfect just what I need thanks!

its been a long time since I posted and wanted to give an update.
It's May 5 2081 and I finally got it started today.
I got a rebuild kit for my petcock but it's leaking and I think the car is leaking too.
I decided to go for it anyway. The third kick it started and I drove it around the block.
I was stoked
I need to fix the leaks but it was awesome!

Yeah the stock karcoma petcocks can be a bugger to rebuild. I've found that the kits provided by the bing agency and others are for a later model Karcoma that has a thicker rubber gasket that requires modifying.

If you want a quick fix order one of these $19.95 fuel valves until you get the time to get the stock one working. Fuel leaks can provide a lot of unwanted excitement when mixed with a source of heat.

I ordered one.
thanks for the tip.
Looks like it's easier to fix too.

I don't care how authentic you decide you want to be. Things like fuel petcocks, kill switches, etc. are safety items. If stock isn't cutting it, no harm in modernizing these.

excellent result

Wow. That was a long build. But you did a great job!
