250-500cc Next project - 2002 CR250

I dont think so, the side to side spacing is wider on the new stuff I believe.

Update: going to try a trials tire again. Getting her ready to lead a group this weekend. Fun.

Stacked 2 aluminum collars I had laying around my shop. Looks real high but the bars are a low bend. Feels good where they are. Feels great standing.

All ready for tomorrows mission of gnar. Install new trials tire, chain, sprockets, brake side rear bearing, Lectron (already runs / starts much better), clean air filter, double check bolts, lube stuff. Man bikes are time consuming. Time for some fun.



Cable choke is very nice on this tight install.





I haven't ran a trials tire in years. Its a CR but came to me with a 18 and it has a very luggable motor. I ride the gnar with this bike so it just seems like the right tire to try on the right bike. We will see. It looks funny and is very skinny.

Yes torque plate and V-force 3 reed block. Was that way when I got it. Makes carb fitting REALLY tight. the rear axle is in reverse (good eye) because my triangle fits that side (left). Makes no difference functionally. Rear sprocket is a PBI, good stuff.

Bike ran stinking PERFECT. I love these carbs. Before install I turned the rod 1/4 leaner and turned the PJ from one full turn out to 1/2 turn out (leaner) based on knowing they ship erroring on the rich side and I always end up going leaner for my tight woods riding. Bike starts WAY EZer, has instant response, makes more power, is smoother, pulls incredible everywhere and got way better milage. Funny thing is the stock carb works good, this one just works better in every way.

I ran about 8-9 psi. Scared to run less as I ride a lot of rocks. Worked excellent and I sat at the top of several greasy slimy nasty hills yesterday waiting for my crew. On one big hill buddy adam got stopped by slick clay and roots in fornt of me. I stopped, lined up an even nastier section to go around and motored by. Was shocking the amount of grip those tires have in situation you think they would not work at all. Takes a different approach to handling and steering but once you readjust your lines and thinking they are pretty amazing. Will do a short writeup on it.

for now just let it dangle out the right side. EZ to get to and hardly ever needed. As for adjustments as above I leaned my out before installing and ended up perfect. Adjusting it would be no big deal, quick remove seat, one 8mm bolt, pull the hose and the tank is off. 2 minutes. Rotate carb pull out slide. EZ. And like you said, once you get it where you like it you really never need to adjust anything but the idle.

it does except it is stinky :>) I have Lectrons on every carbed bike I own and ride now (165, 250, XC500). Kinda hate standard carbs anymore.
