    Hi
    just been working on what Im told is a 1992 CR 250
    tried to check it out on line but frame number is DGM53255 OM 5A 000281
    cant seem to get a definitive year/model with the DGM apart from a few posts on line.
    does anyone know a site which would show the same sort of number?

    been a while but need to register this bike to get title.
    still looking for help regarding any more info , thinking now its a WR250 which has been fitted with 297 top end.

    no luck looking with a DGM frame number, just assuming its a Husky but could it be a Cagiva number instead of Husky

    The 297 may just be a casting mark as the 360's are stamped on the head with 266. The cc should be on the left hand side of the reed block.
    I use the term should very loosly it may be on the right or ground off.

    the picture is definitely of a 92, they had an aluminum subframe, swingarm mounted kick stand, mid height pipe and Showa suspension
    the numbers are odd but it is definitely a 92

    I am gonna say it is a 93, the adjustable fork preload caps were not on the 92 and it has white fork guards another sign of the 93.

    ahh, but look at the swingarm, oddly my 92 had adjustable caps too,
    guess the caps might have been a popular upgrade in 93?

    Did the swingarm change in 93 or 94 ???

    the swing arm went from square edged to rounded in 93 when the kickstand moved to the frame

    also Motoplat parts are few and far between or expensive. used part 60 euro +24 p&p from Italy

    the mini 4 motoplat is unusual and very hard to find. earlier motoplats are very common, rebuildable and semi-reliable. sadly they will not fit the italian 2 stroke

    yes I find the 4 stroke coils with 2 terminals, a large and a small. the mini is hard to find.

    I'm in the same boat as you. Been actively (and passively for that matter) searching for a motoplat "mini 4" stator for my '92 360 for some time with no progress. Sorry to say that I have been feeling discouraged and as a result the task was put on the back burner, I plan to get back on the horse over the winter when the weather has soured.

    would it be possible to switch the crankpin to the later 250/360 one? that would open up a huge amount of available ignitions. or is the bolt pattern different for the backing plate? my 95 360 will use the same ignition used up until recently
