    82 250R Woods / Harescramble Build Up

    Well, I started a very similar thread about 2 or 3 years ago with only ideas and it never went anywhere. At that point in my life, I did more talking than doing. But, since I finally have a goal to work with, time and money to spend, and parts already installed, I'll take you along.

    I bought 2 R's from the same guy. One is in pieces and the other one I'm building now. The one im building now came with a 200X front end. The parts bike came with a 83-84R front end. Both look like cow-dookie but ran good. The build started with rebuilding the rear caliper. I used the grease method to push the piston out. It works wonderfully but is a pain to clean all the holes out. I sandblasted it and its awaiting paint this week. Once I paint it, I will rebuild it.





    Next, I ordered a DG headpipe. The only reason I bought it is my stock pipe was bent, dented, and didn't fit on the exhaust flange anymore. I don't like it at all and would happily go back to or trade for a good stock header pipe. The thing is annoyingly loud. It had a Dg silencer on it already and sounded awesome. I dont care for how loud DG pipes end up being :/

    Looks freakin' awesome though.



    I was switching my clutch levers around and adding some Pro Taper hand guards and fiddled with the clutch adjustment alot. No matter what I did, the clutch was waaay to hard. It had a new cable on it, so I decided to inspect the clutch basket and found this horror.



    Luckily, I had an extra clutch basket from the parts bike. It had some light grooving that I need to file down, but its nothing compared to this junk.
    Anyone know of a clutch basket swap for these bikes? They are the same from 81-84. Only thing I come up with is 85-86 Hinson baskets.

    I will be ordering some new clutch plates and pressure plates from Barrnett Clutches.

    Next on the agenda is to get sprockets and chains. I will take a few parts off here and there to clean up and paint. Ill be building my 16x16 shop here shortly. Once that happens, I will be set up as a Mechanic's/Sandblasting/Powder Coating/Anodizing/Plating. My plan is to start doing all that as a business. Hopefully i can make something out of it.

    Over the winter, I will send off the cylinder, shock, and forks to be repaired/rebuild/revalved. Hopefully I can run a few harescrambles this season, then go race the A class in Indiana/Ohio all next year.







    This is the bike that I'm building on now.



    This is the one that became the parts bike.

    Hey I have a case splitter tool and some other assorted tools from my R build that you can use when you tear down the motor.

    Holler when you need it
