Posted by: trx500r

Here are my 250r's why waste your time with just one!!! The green frame is a 1986 with a 1997 CR500 motor with CPI pipe, V-force 2 reeds, Coolhead. The yellow frame is a 1989 I just finished building. Its ported and polished and DG pipe. I built it for reliability. The blue frame is a 1986 that I built for my WIFE it has a 277 kit built by DAB Racing here in Utah, FMF pipe, 39mm carb, V-force reeds, Coolhead, with 400ex fenders, seat, and gas tank. The other blue frame is actually my brother-in-laws. Its an 1987 that we completely rebuilt this last winter all except for the ugly old fenders which need to be replaced. It has a completely rebuilt stock motor except for a FMF pipe and a K&N air filter.

I'd like to post pics of my R, but it won't let me because the file is too large. Anyone know how to make the file smaller or have another way to post pics? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Posted by: CHAR250R

88. I am the only owner. I got it for High School graduation in the fall of 1987. Not much time on her.

Posted by: 04blasterkid

that appears to be a 88-89 250r... just wounderin if u had a typo.. anyways its wicked nice

Posted by: CHAR250R

Where do you see a typo?

Posted by: Aceman

Must not see the 88 at the beginning. In any case, nice R Char!!

Posted by: CHAR250R

Thanks for the compliment. One of these days I'd like to put some Custom Axis shocks on her, but I only ride it once or twice a year.

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

looks great man

Posted by: my88r

looks good. do you have all the stock parts to put it back to org. if you want

Posted by: CHAR250R

I have every single stock part that is not on it now. I have the stock tires that are still mounted on the stock rims.

Posted by: 250Renvy

That's a true rarity! A one owner 250R in great condition.

I looked at a completely stock original owner 89 last year, but it was rusted and beat and never taken care of. He wanted 3K but I didn't think it was worth 1k it needed sooo much.

keep takeing care of it like you have years from now with the stock parts it will be worth alot to atvers.

Posted by: CHAR250R

I also have mint 88R frame in case of a misshap with the other one. You can never be too prepared. I took the stock seat assembly off and boxed it up. Fat money for them now adays.

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

sweet R, i see a lot of people running those grooved radials in the front. How do they handle compared to the holeshots?

Posted by: moot106

The groover radials are the only front tires I run. I love them. They hook up real good and last a long time. I raced 2 seasons on my blaster and 1 season on my banshee and after a lot of road riding with the banshee they was still about 3/4 tread left. I've never been a fan of the holeshots.

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

awesome thanks, how about rear tires? I see a ton of people run turf tamers on the rear, do they hook up real well?

Posted by: BlaineKaiser450

Yea I dont really like to see my R muddy and dirty either lol. But I just cant stay off of it, the power and handling are addicting. On another forum people were actually talking smack to me just because i take really good care of my bike by cleaning and polishing everything up after each and every ride. Ive even been accused of never even taking it out because of how it looks in the pics lol.
But here it is after this last Saturdays ride, which btw it got wrecked for the first time.

Actually it was a desert race on a canyon course where it had rained the night before. I was taking a turn at about 40-45mph and the bike just kept on going sideways eventually making it about 20 feet up the side of the canyon wall. The right front tire hit a big rock and ejected me 10 feet in the air bouncing me and the bike off of the canyon wall. Hell, I wish it was just a bush lol.

yeah when i was on my blaster last fall i was in 5 th tapped (50ish) and in the widest corner on all the trails i've rode on theres gotta be that one tree that jumps in front of me... i bent my frame in 3 or 4 spots.. i bent my steel rim all the way back to the point that it wouldnt go around... the upper a-arm was just hardly oh it... the front welds broke and i was hurtin for a long time... since then i've tamed down...

Posted by: Aceman

Bushwesl, that is nice! Very clean!

I like that frame gusset for the swinger bolt. Only thing I might add, and this is just my opinion, you need some polished/billet parts on the right side of your R. It looks too blacked out compared to the left side shot. Maybe a billet brake pedal, polished clutch cover, etc so it looks a little more similar.

Thanks man! I agree on making some adjustments to the left side of the R ... but don't you worry, all of those things mentioned are on "the list," if you know what I mean

Posted by: jon370r

For the top of the line 19 1/2 long travels your looking at about $700 for a used set.

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

jon370r thats one sick R

Posted by: criminalpoet

Jon370r thats a very nice bike! All you need now is some radiator shrouds to set it off.

Posted by: jon370r

Yah, I have some but they don't fit right in the alluminum frame. The last set ended up breaking and falling off. I need to do some mods before I put another set on. The radiator need to be moved up about an inch and I will be adding a cooling fan on it also.

Posted by: presto5879

really sick..
but first you had the R on Supermoto, how the first side shows...
with shrouds she will look awsome

and now my little "R"
need new plastics and 8" rear wheels

what about not long travle...

Korniev... i gotta say that this isone of the best turn out pic. post on this site to me... hands down...

Posted by: jon370r

I would say $400-$600 for used 16 1/2 standard length shocks, depending on the adjustment options on them.

Posted by: woodsracer144

is that your R in the background too or is that a friends?

Posted by: jon370r

Yes, that was mine also. I was in the middle of putting all my best parts no one so I could sell the extra. As you can see by the date that was almost 3 years ago. I have had several others since also.

No, the plastics that I bought are Maier OEM style. Full set.

Do you also got a laeger's protrax front end? And what colors are you gonna use?

Posted by: woodsracer144

its a leager front end with peps... but its not LT... i know that i will make the change sooner or later... but as it sits right now its the leager a-arms and i dont know if the standers are pro-traxs i think thats the Lt's only... its the one with the black plastic with the klotz sticker kit... its a few up...

I hear you about the rush...I can't wait to get my 310 kit installed.

I also have to give compliments to doc's Walsh R. That thing is ridiculous!

Looks like there are better R fans on the coasts!

Rather than in the Midwest.

Posted by: doc-bones

Danhung,
You should not downplay that georgeous R you have.
800 Screws,
I live off exit 82 in Toms River we ride most Saturdays and a few Sundays. If you want to ride pm me and I will give you a cell number! Racerx573 Laeger is a great deal! When my old Walsh went back up for sale on Ebay, I gobbled it up. Never make that mistake again! I agree 2 strokes done right still rule. I have both and my ride of choice will always be the R. The 310 is one of the best power/ reliability motors out there! I ran them for years with zero issues or failures! When they got better with the new 450`s I wanted an edge therefore bigger motors.

Posted by: Mean250r

that other R looks bad *** (the laeger)

Posted by: Live2Ride300

It's actually a (4)50R.

Posted by: atvmxr

that silencer on the blue R looks like its 2 feet long

what kind is it? pretty quiet?

and that 450R rear fenders look like wings when sitting next to the 250R

all nice quads though

How the hell did u get 250r front plastics to work on that?! looks like a hybrid!

Posted by: Live2Ride300

Maier MX Style front fender that I race cut. I took my 250R quadtech hood and trimmed about 1.25" off the front of the hood to match the fender.

Thanks for the compliments!

Some OMF scoops would really finish off the 250R look on the 450R. Nice bike!

DUDE HOOK ME UP WHERE IS THAT AT! I WANNA HIT THAT!
i wanna build a jump like how that is but it would be set up on a hill so you jump on top of the hill, kinda likethat huge step up that only the bikes hit at Millville MN,

Posted by: danhung11

I found some ATC250R's in the background. At one time, there was 4 TRX250R's and 2 ATC250R's, but I didn't have my camera.

I did a semi rebuild on it, but am building and BRAND NEW motor with a ESR310 Setup. It is going to be killer! The cases are sitting at the bike shop for me!

I picked up an entire Hinson Clutch Setup(Basket, Hub, Pressure Plate, and ClutchPlates and Springs) for $600, this bike shop was closing sold to another owner and I guess they were cleaning out inventory. I guess I just stumbled apon a bargain.

Thanks,
Dan

Posted by: hang1p

i got the decals, now I just need to finish the motor

Posted by: FoxHondaRider

wow i looked through all the pages and i loved basically every 250r. I would take a 250r over a 450r any day.

Posted by: Fordtrax

Hey guys and gals this is my first post and i will say this is the best forum ive found yet for my most favored bike ever the 4-trax250r!Ive owned over a dozen of them but havent even touched one in like8-10 years or so!

My favorite of them all is the 88! Ive owned 89s but white plastics suck to keep clean so 88 is my fave!

I just recently bought a 88 thats very clean and i want to keep it that way but with a few mods like headpipe and silencer and a sixpack rack and front pushbar!

Well lets ee if i can add pics?

Posted by: Fordtrax

Damn!! it worked!!woohooo! Now howabout this one?

Now this one is me getin 3 gear low rpm wheelie cause the ***** is very cold blooded or the PO has some gas station 2 stroke in it along with it being old gas too i suppose?

If this works im da man !!lol

Posted by: Fordtrax

I know i need to buy a helmet!lol
I havent even rode this thing other than you see in the pics tho!

Soo that will be my next big purchase because I cant tell you how many times a helmet has saved my life !lol

Posted by: my88r

very very nice 88. and welcome to the site

Posted by: Fordtrax

Thanx My88r!

Posted by: korniev

I would consider saying: "Welcome to this thread

Posted by: JIMFROMTEXCO

nice quad fordtrax. if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for that? wish i could stumble along sumthing like that!

Posted by: Fordtrax

I paid 3000 bux for it and if i had found this site first i would have asked you guys what you thought first!
But since ive already bought it i wanna ask did i pay too much?
There was another 88 in the same local classifieds at the same time and he was asking 2800 and he had alot of after market mods on it too but i thought to myself do i wanna buy one thats probably been raced the crap out of and put away wet! Or buy the one I have which is pretty much mostly stock?
Pffft! the decision was pretty easy!lol

Posted by: 450rJam

just my opinion but I dont think you got hurt on that one

someone has done a nice resore on it (or never rode it at all)

it still has the dash, key, stock exhaust etc.
not real common

get a helmet

Posted by: JIMFROMTEXCO

you got that super cheap! if i could find one in that shape i would prolly put it in my living room! hopfully i can find one like that in the next year or so.

Posted by: 312R1

I found a pic of my old R...I'm pretty sure this was taken in 91, before I got a JP Racing frame and a-arms. It's not the greatest pic..I had to scan it.

Posted by: woodsracer144

what kind of front shocks are thos?

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

Fordtrax, very nice 88

Ill get pics up of mine as soon as my g/f's dad sends me my $500 that owes me. That way I can get one of it with the plastics on it. After x-mas ill have my motor so ill be ready for the final pics

i take it you sold that?

Posted by: Fordtrax

All i wanna say is when the guy rolled the door up i knew i was sold!!lol
On a side note ( and ill probably repost this!) But i just won a FMF gold series head pipe and silencer on fleabay for 80 bux that looks kinda rough is there a way to clean these pipes up?
I mean its got light surface stuff but with my bike being sooo clean i feel i shoulda bought brand new !

Posted by: mineralgrey01gt

you can always turn around and sell that FMF. You should and go with an ESR pipe

use wd 40 or some pb blaster on it and it will clean up nice i know mine did. you will like that pipe. what kind of rideing do you plan on doing.

Posted by: Fordtrax

Yeah i was thinking of doing the same thing that i do to the chrome on old schwinn bikes and use steel wool and wd40 but im worried it might harm the pipe.
Im planning mainly to just trail ride and hillclimb and could make do with just the silencer because the bike is too quiet but seems i got them in a package deal im gonna do my best to shine the pipe up because it does add to the wow factor when you can see the top of the motor from both sides of the bike.

More or less im just tryin to pimp my ride a bit!

)

Ok when all is said and done im gonna need to put a bigger main jet in the carb can anybody suggest a safe size?
I plan to read plugs and adjust accordingly but what size should i start off with ?

Im going on my first ride this saturday and it will my first in almost 9 or 10 years on a 250r and the reason i know its altleast been that long is because i sold my 89 250r and stopped riding about the time the new 400ex came out .
But before i sold my 89 there was an article in Dirtwheels on how to adapt the new 400 ex plastics to the 250r and i almost did it because the white plastics on my r were shot! But i still got 3500 for it way back then !

Hey man, i must say that is the cleanest 250r i have come across yet. I cant believe you paid 3000 for that! you could VERY easily turn around and sell that for 6, maybe more! I seen 100% stock 250r's sell for 5500 easy, and yours is the cleanse ive seen yet!

In all honesty, dont go crazy with mods (boreing, gussets etc) Just do bolt ons and keep the stock stuff. You will get ALOT more money for it stock then modded.

Congrats man and welcome to the site!

Posted by: Fordtrax

Hey thanx Mean250r! And that is exactly my plan !
I want to keep it as original as possible except i want pipe silencer and frontpushbar and rear 6 pack rack grab bar.
I also plan to eventually replace everey piece of plastic with oem just because there are flaws and the plastic is 20 years old too!
I even plan to go with the original Htrack radials too!
I wished i was rich and could afford to park it but hell noooo!lol
Thanx to everyone for the compliments!
Is my bike really worth twice what i paid tho? just curious?
