125-200cc My new 2008 CR165

Well here it is... $1500 with 6 extra shrouds and 4 side plates....

Good-

fresh 165
new clutch
new swingarm ( kid left rear axle loose)
radiator braces (but bent)
fastway pegs (drooping)
3 extra pipes


Bad-

People kill with crap bike maintenance
radiator brace bent back some (should be easy to fix)
needs every nut and bolt
need rear fender
got a 250 rear tire on it
forks have been shortned
bars to short

To Do list-

first a quick clean tomorrow and see where I really stand
straighten radiator
find new bars/grips/handguards
rear fender
new tires

and where do I find a rear fender now? what ever happened to motoplastics usa.....

Nice find. I'm just in the process of getting an 08 cr125 into a 165 and ready for next years racing ....last year I rode a '10 wr144. I like the way the cr comes on the pipe. Enjoy!

They are great bikes

You'll like it. I could never get comfortable with the '06-'08 125 ergos, compared to '00-'04 and '09 and up. Way too on top of the bike for me.

Fastway pegs are adjustable so you can take the droop out.

Thats good to know lanky Doug.... I'll check it out today as I scour this bike and make my list....

The peg stop is a bolt and washers can be added or taken away to change the angle/level of the pegs. I like mine canted upward slightly, it makes it more natural to keep the knees firmly against the tank.

Okay looks like pegs will be good they had zero washers and needed a couple looks like I will get them tomorrow, so that will be an easy fix

The left radiator is tweaked pretty good but it dont leak.... the radiator brace was tweaked also I bent the brace half ass back straight but the lower shroud still isnt fitting just right looks like I'm going to have to remove the guards and fix it better.... I may be ordering some Unabiker braces and saying screw it...

the engine got a good spray and soak with Mean Green so we will see how that goes... I need to either retouch the gray paint on engine or try to remove it.... any ideas?

Ordered a bunch of RMMC stuff today, front plate, rear fender, bolt kit, grips levers and sprockets.... cost me exactly nothing with 2 gift cards from land of motards and the cards we have earned.....

after these go one it will be graphics and tires.... its got a 110/100-19 on back and I always liked the 100/100-19...

oh and sending the suspension to FCR in the morning to get "unshortned" and freshened up....

Well stage one.... a good power washing, replaced some stuff, sorted out some other stuff.... need tires, rear sprocket and change out the pipe....then see where I stand...

Oh and unshorten the front end.... who shortens the front and not the rear

Usually it would be the other way around.... lower the shock and then jam the forks up in the clamps, to lower the front.

Ya I know its freaking crazy... spent 3 hours cussing about dumb stuff this guy has done.... I was hoping to just do a quick once over and ride then do a better tear down over the next couple weeks.... Round 1 is on the 30th..... lol

fella was thinking about dirt track- they run super steep forks..

Those are nice braces! but I see only te310 and te510/610

Ya this whole bike has seen better maintenance days for sure.... it freaking pisses me off that someone can ride a bike so hard and just leave it to die

I just sold my 07 te 450 to a guy in Toronto today and seriously considering purchasing a 2010 cr 144 tomorrow....looking to try my hand at some enduro events this season. Anything I should check on this bike before purchase tomorrow?
