splitting cases on 83 250 xc

Im going to be splitting the cases, soon for a rebuild looking for a supplier for the bearings and gasket set..I put all of my time last winter into the frame and suspension now its time for the engine. I was told it ran right before the guy sold it to me, boy that was a lie...The bike didn't have any spark so I took off the fly wheel and it appeared the flywheel had contacted the stator...I grabbed the end of the crank and sure enough there was enough slop to move the crank with my hand not good...So is there any special procedure involved? ive taken a couple jap cases apart with no problem just want to be cautious...Thanks guys

How do you get the gear off of the crank on the clutch side..

I used a two leg jaw puller on mine

thank you...
Ordered all my gasket and bearings today from husky-parts should be running by the end of next weekthanks Phil...

Got the cases split today, the gear attached to the crank on the clutch side was a bear to remove..Anyhow pressed the pin out of the crank wow that was shot as well as the rod bearing. As you read this the cases are soaking in solvent along with the jug and head, im hoping to get it all sand blasted tomorrow, and get the powder coat on then start pressing in all of the bearings ..Ill post some pics..Being as ive never riden the bike or any Husqvarna for that matter what can I expect power wise? All ive owned is modern bikes I have a 07 YZ250 for H/S and Enduro....Thanks Philip @ Husqvarna-parts

Matt,
From what I remeber of the 6 spd was ......bye bye jap bike........ In 6th gear you will be going faster than any mere mortal should. Think overdrive rocket that will would go as fast as youv'e ever wanted.
In the trees. You carve.

have it all stripped now just have to get it blasted..WoW the paint that was put on from the factory was made to last, took me a gallon of air craft stripper to get it off...here is the heart transplant recipient..Going with silver jug, head, and gloss black cases...

be sure to machine the base, insides & clutch sides while you have it apart. also, if you're re-sleeving the cylinder machine its base too. takes a lot out of the equation so you don't get air leaks, or oil leaks.

I like the direction your heading with your 250. I want to do my 83 250 black or charcoal gray for the frame and tank with fork tubes and shock springs in gold. Also thought of all black plastic, not sure how it would look with the charcoal gray though. Great work can't wait to see more pics.

thanks. I will make sure they are flat before assemble

Mattskn,
You mentioned that you will be powder coating the engine. Can you post up some powder color codes when you get them. I'd also love to see some finished pics of the powdercoated engine. Nice paint stripping job, looks great.

Just picked it up today after work..I want to give a big thanks to a great friend of mine Jeremy Zajak in Bay City Mi at Syndicate Cycle for rebuilding the engine and powder coating the hole bike. He is also the one that raked the frame to 28.5 deg and fabed the yz peg mounts on the frame, mades the bike feel like im setting on my 07 YZ250 cant wait race it..

nice ride! pls help me with my gearbox

sweet bike by the way ! can u assist me on my wr250 83 gearbox? im having a few problems assembling it . cant seem to select all gears. i put it back together but something is wrong maybe simple. please run through with me some hints and tips rights and wrongs on assembly. thanks

Buy a Clymer manual , forget the Haynes .

Follow the gear timing instructions to the letter and you'll find you have a full box of dogs in the correct order .

where do i get 1 of them from for cr/wr250 83? does any 1 have any thing to send me that will assist with assembly? thanks
