250-500cc Ain't she a beauty...my "new" 2002 CR250

Loving all this 00-02 cr250 talk!

Ive ridden the cr a few times now and its engine has to be the most linear 250 ive ever ridden. It is smooth, smooth, smooth from bottom to top. I have no doubt this will make an excellent moto machine. Instead of braking the tire loose, sliding sideways, ripping up in a wheelie out of turns, i suspect it will be dug in and hooked up and work with me instead of tiring me out.

Its not the most exciting powerplant ,but anyone short of top a riders will be faster on it thanan eengine making 8 more horsepower up top with a more aggressive harder to ride delivery.


Are the front brakes identical to my 2004 cr125 as on the 01 cr250? I bled them repeatedly but couldn't get the same level of inital firmness out of them. The 125 is insta firm and i love its brakes.

I have a 3.4 ims tank for sale if your interested pm me. It would probably work for your tc too.

Yup, Motoplastics had graphics, great plastic selection as well.

I am having a hard time getting the front brake to feel as solid as the old 2001 CR125 we had, nowhere near as firm as the 07. I don't know if it a characteristic of the 02 year.

Is the IMS tank for a CR or TC? I took the TC tank off and tried to fit it on the CR but was off a bit and wouldn't work.

It came off a 2009 WR 250. I noticed you upgraded to newer plastic. It should fit with a little modification.

Do any of you folks have a nice complete seat that would fit an 01 cr250

Have you put new pads on like ebc green stuff, the shape of disc will also geve feedback characteristics
Also the master may need overhauling if there is still spongey feel.
