here she is or 390

well guys here is my next project brought as cr 390 to find out when i whent to pick her up was or 390,was a non runner no chain put chain on fresh fuel, drained oil,new plug,runs like a dream.

79 or 390

try again any info you guys could tell me would be appreciated,been standing for while i think,should i split cases and change crank case seals ? what are these forks(pretty shot but just wondering)runss and ticks over ok ,tick over little lumpy,

Somebody saved you some work and put 40mm forks on it. Great bikes you will enjoy it. I had a 80 OR390 and miss it.

Looks like you have the same shocks as are fitted to my OR. They are Works Performance Magna shocks I have been told. Do they seem ok, or will they need servicing?

not sure of direction

looking to do full resto job,dont know if i should do crank case seals anyway and piston and rings as a matter of caution ? no not leaking but one spring is snapped and someone has hacked the fins just below exhaust,shame as they shere probally good in there day.

If you decide to split the cases, I believe it is vital you use the correct tool for the job.

Is that the bike that was on ebay a week or two ago?

I am chaniging the forks on mine, so I will have a pair of 35 mm forks if you want to restore it to it's original state, but they need one replacement lower leg because of a crack. They will be cheap so let me know if you are interested.

yep

was on ebay as non runner,i missed it and the winner didnt collect so i took a chance on her,think im going to keep forks as they are and just buil a sort of trick or 390,as no one keeps motorcross bikes standard anway.

Looks like you got a good deal. Mine was cheaper but is missing the tank and seat, plus no way is mine a runner.

Fair enough on the forks, the 40mm forks are definitely better. I am putting YZ forks on mine simply because I have a pair in the garage and I am doing mine up on a tight budget.

Good luck with your new bike.

shocks

any ideas on good replacement shocks guys,if these ar works peformance shocks they cost a mint

yep

some one has cut some fins at top and a spring is broken,not sure who would do this in uk

Patgas, I have spoken to Robin Packham at Falcon Shocks and he is able to service them. Not sure yet how much, but should be cheaper than new shocks and I think they look good on the bike personally.

keep me informed

sounds good yes they look good and are very expensive to replace,only problem is some one has ground away fins at top to clear i think exhaust,and one spring is broken,would be good if i could do something with the fins to make it look like it should be,either that or they where off something else i will try get some pics posted.if you decide to dich yours murph if there is one decent one i will take them of your hands,mine are actually not leaking just snapped spring.spoken to falcon dont think these shocks are worth rebuilding, going to try and source some ohlins i think any one know good source ?
