250-500cc Honda CR250 reed block in a 02 CR250 husky?

At least the 92-01 reed valve gaskets fit because their basic cylinder design in those years were same.

I had a 00 honda cr250 reed block in my 02. I used the boyenson reeds. I liked the setup. Made the bike a better runner. Reeds lasted way long than the v force too.

I believe it is 1986-2001 Honda CR250 are the same.

v-force2 reeds were stock on huskies in 2002.

Are you sure the V-Force is the correct one for your bike?

My 04 has a V-Force that fits fine with no spacer. Seems like if the spacer came with the reed block it would be anodized black?
I'd check with Bill... As you know he MXed those bikes.
My 04 was bought from Malcom Smith's Dealership by the PO. The factory reed came apart early in it's life and messed things up but no warranty. Billl fixed it and put a V-Force block in.

I think the problem with the V-Force fitting has to do with older model cylinders and the newer V-Force 3 in Kelly's picture. My bike is a 2008 which is equipped with a V-Force 2, I tried a V-Force 3 and it would not fit. Hence the aluminum spacer being used on that set up. I put Honda CR250 reeds in my V-Force and it works great.

The 09 and up 250/300's have Vf-3's , no metal spacer

The crossbar does not sound stock at all, you are the victim of some genius engineering.

moto sportz , that's not stock for sure as 02 cr's had v2 with no spacer. Maybe you can mill the spacer?

Yes V3's weren't even in production yet in '02. Wonder if the spacer is helping your low-end power, you said is was strong down low. My '01 was lazy down low compared to other period jap 250's, but had top end in spades, just the way I liked em!
