250r flat tracker (help me lol)

[team-red-rider]

ive taken the advice from MANY people and im pieceing 2gether an 81 250R to flat track (hey billy where are the races and when and how much to enter) so far i have the fuel tank and im getting the motor and forks and some assorted parts from another member. i need to kno exactly whats needed to make an awsome flat tracker! (i kno ill need a frame soon lol)

[cragster]

dude my friends got aN 82 R frame and lots of parts. Like swinger axle 200x front end, niceeee gas tank, frame PM me if your interested
later

[SYKO]

hey buddy, You need to sell almost all your stuff that you got listed there, and use that to get yourself going! a 81 r may not be the best but its a start, for the rear to lower it you just need a shorter shock and the front alittle spring removale and raising the tubes up to lower the front, then the appropriate tires for it. just make sure your engine is tight and fresh, along with the clutch.

[team-red-rider]

im pieceing it together and hey i got more trikes than i have listed lol i just didnt add them yet lol

[team-red-rider]

btw i have a motor swinger and forks coming i have a fuel tank and a seat already..i kno i need a frame wiring harness tripple trees all the nuts/bolts axle rims/hubs ect..

[smyers33]

Why dont you just go buy a roller, and put your motor into it. It would be a lot cheaper that way.

[team-red-rider]

i cant find one in my area i only kno of 1 other R around here and its an 85 water pumper and they wont sell it lol.... and i like building my bikes myself lol

[SYKO]

you need a 82 so you can stay away from the 3 bolt hubs and rear drum, that will help you out to. but if its an 81 then you can make do.

[team-red-rider]

ok syko i just got an 82 r frame jsut gotta wait till next month after the motor lol itll be there im pretty sure lol

[350xBomb]

lol...who's lol? does he do good work? lol lol lol....LOL.

[SYKO]

where are you at in fla? all the races are pretty much up I-75 from tampa to valdosta here in ga, deffinitly find some rear spacer for the axle and a lower shock for it, tires is where your going to get hit at.

[team-red-rider]

im in cape coral about an hour from tampa.... idc i got my liscense hahah

[BigGreenMachine]

Some tips, cut your steering stops a little so you get as much side to side lock as possible. The pros would cut them so much that they had to modify the gas tanks front corners so that the forks wouldn't hit them.

Also get your forks apart and put the top spring down on the dampening rod. That will shorten the front end. If you just take the short spring out, the forks will let the front end rise up during aceleration as opposed to keeping it down for a good holeshot. (thats not good btw)

Depending on how comfortable you want to be you may want to shave down the seat foam as well. Would lower you on the machine a couple inches.

Short low rise handlebars let you hang off the bike better in corners and J-hook bar ends allow you to hold on better. (keeps your hands from slipping off the grips)

A light bike is always better. Some of the bigger parts like brake levers and foot levers can be drilled to shave weight. Every little bit counts.

Of course tires and an extended axle would help a ton. 20 inch tires seem to be the way to go.

[Kintore]

BGM, I got a question.

Why would 20's be the way to go? I thought 18's would be it? Lower no?

[BigGreenMachine]

Sidewall flex. Bigger (wider) footprint. Traction is key. No good to be spinning the whole way around the track.

Maybe an 18 on 8 would do just as well but from what I've seen everyone runs 20's.

The way I look at is a 18 on 8 would give you not a lot of roll to work with. Once you pass that point where the edge stops rolling you break traction slide sideways and end up pointing the other way.

Same can be done with a 20 on 8 but theres more sidewall and tire tread on the ground to prevent this.

Someone want to add or correct me. Not the expert, just going off what I'm seeing.

[Kintore]

Ah that makes sence! Man you learn something new on 3ww everyday. Better than school, maybe I should pay 3ww my 2g for college and ill just learn here everyday. Whos going to teach me? lol

[Billy Golightly]

Most of the tracks down here, not enough traction is not a problems. Its getting the assend of the track broken loose. These dry clay tracks are a whole different surface, its in my opinion way stickier then asphalt.

[Mr. Clean]

Below is the race schedule.

Team Red Rider, building your ride is only part of the equation. You are going to need safety equipment, kill switch, number plates. Start posting pics, you will need to show us what you are doing and how you are progressing. If you show up and the bike is unsafe and or poorly constructed you will be endangering not only your life but mine and others as well. The three of us who raced Sunday are here to help as well as any other board members. Start a thread with the parts you have so far, and keep updating the thread as you go.

This was my first race and this type of racing on a three wheeler is not easy like sliding in some nice loose sand.

I cannot believe all you suckers still waste your time posting on this kid's threads!

[chris200x]

I cannot believe all you suckers still waste your time posting on this kid's threads!

Here's a though.. Why not put "this kid" on your ignore list. this way we wont have to read any more of your bashing posts. :rolleyes: :banned: :rolleyes:

[team-red-rider]

hey mike at least i got pics........ i bought a camera

[firefirefire90]

Alright, here's something for starters. If you are serious about flattracking. All those parts listed, means nothing. You need to start lightening up FAST. Switch out to the 4/110 hubs, get some 200x wheels and some 18" Carlisle turf savers. I know people will say it is stupid, but I got the idea from another members trike. Saving weight is one of the main things to do. Drill holes in the fins. I know it may not do much, but every little thing helps. I would not drill in the frame or the swingarm because the integrity of them might be jeapordized. Also, switch to a 200x front end that has been lowerd. Possibly cut the springs. Sell all the non needed parts, and save up for a good 10" front rim from douglas. Then buy the front tire for flattracking. Also, you can have your seat shaved for optimum sliding. Kill switch and numberplates all around are a MUST, and that should get you set off. Everthing I listed should be, all together, a good start for under 500, and under 300 if you have the parts and could get some things used. Good luck. And can't wait to see progress...now...get rid of all those dinky trikes. You have a 250R now, it is the only thing that matters.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Here's a though.. Why not put "this kid" on your ignore list. this way we wont have to read any more of your bashing posts. :rolleyes: :banned: :rolleyes:
Sounds good, I will definately do that. Sorry for trying to help ya out though.

$50 That we will never see this kid flattrack though, for the records.

By the way, good luck using a 39mm carb on an 82 R. Might as well take out the 1st three gears too.

[Old 179]

you need a 82 so you can stay away from the 3 bolt hubs and rear drum, that will help you out to. but if its an 81 then you can make do.


82R hubs should go right on the 81R axle. Brakes for flat tracking?????

[team-red-rider]

u need brakes lol

[Tri-ZNate]

too bad you dont have a '83-'84 frame since the '84 R made around 28hp stock.

Quick questons. What exhaust are you going with and what motor work are you gonna use so you can run the 39mm?

[team-red-rider]

also if 39mm is too big what should i use? does anyone kno of a place for black 81-82 R fenders? umm an 83 wiring harness will work right? (and the electronics because thats what i bought)

[team-red-rider]

im gonna get a 10.5:1 or a 12:1 hi comp wiseco piston im gonna use some Vforce delta reeds off of a cr250R if they will work umm im gonna try and find a dg head and pipe! umm well isnt the 83-84 the same motor as the 81-82 pretty much?

[Tri-ZNate]

no, differences in compression and different pipes that i know of. Puts out more hp than the '83 R even

So yeah nothing HUGE i dont think. But even the frames were different once '83 rolled around

[Mike_Ham_250R]

also if 39mm is too big what should i use? does anyone kno of a place for black 81-82 R fenders? umm an 83 wiring harness will work right? (and the electronics because thats what i bought)
You should use like a 34mm LOL. Hell ill sell ya one for cheep.

Anyway since you got a camera my friend has been wanting to see your ATT custom trikes and your ke100 trike. Could ya put some pics up?

[team-red-rider]

here is my flaming fuel tank lol

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Thats very "flamer like".

Hey man that 10.5:1 piston for the R must be some old school racing *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*!! 10.5:1 wow. Show me pics!

[team-red-rider]

keep flame theme ...yes ...or ...no?

[firefirefire90]

What is the difference between the 83 and 84 engines? Different port angles? And BTW..they do not make a 12:1 piston. 2 strokes are way different than 4 strokes. You will need to look up quite a bit. Better save your pennies..those DG heads and a GOOD sectional pipe will set you back, a LOT.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

12:1 id go with that. They are rare. I don't even know of any made for an 82 r?

[team-red-rider]

oh ok i wasnt sure on pistons and stuff im looking on wiseco's site and on ebay for a good one now!

[Mike_Ham_250R]

LOL yeah. A stock 82 R has about 6.7:1 compression. I'm damn sure they don't make a 12:1.

[firefirefire90]

LOL yeah. A stock 82 R has about 6.7:1 compression. I'm damn sure they don't make a 12:1.

LOL :D


Dat right der is funny!

[BigGreenMachine]

Wow give the kid some slack Mike.

Everyone has to learn and if he gets to the track Billy and Syko will be good teachers.

Use the 82 R you have, run what ya brung kinda deal.

I do agree though, sell all the hybrid junk ya have and sink the money into your R. Those pidly trikes will never compare.

[team-red-rider]

im talking from my 4 stroke stuff hahaha my first actual good 2 stroke (besides my old ke or pw 50 lol)

[Tri-ZNate]

just go with a '84R piston. Around 9:1

[Mike_Ham_250R]

LOL :D


Dat right der is funny!
http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/Brochures/ATCsite/82atc250r.html

You think I'm kidding? :p

[team-red-rider]

oki cool 84R it is! also anyone else besides me like the flames?

[firefirefire90]

im talking from my 4 stroke stuff hahaha my first actual good 2 stroke (besides my old ke or pw 50 lol)


I guess the KX250 isnt a good 2 stroke?

[Mike_Ham_250R]

I'll sell you a 34mm waterpumper carb (kehin). Since stock is 27mm 34mm should work good, how much? Ill sell it dirt cheap since I got a new one.

[team-red-rider]

no it dont run lol it needs a motor rebuild and ive never screwed with it im just sellin it

[Billy Golightly]

Do not waste your time or money on engine mods until your chassis set up. You need to be LOW, like bottom frame rails 3 inches off the ground. You want the lowrider guys sayin "DAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUMMMM!" You need good suspension that isn't worn out leaking oil all out of the forks and rear shock. You need width either from a wheel spacer on right side of the axle or an extended axle and you need tires. Walmart turf savers for $45 will work great. Don't even bother with he engine until all of that is done.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Get pics of the 2005 KX250 with your new camera I would love to buy it.

[team-red-rider]

ok mike...and i got good used hoosier tires coming

[Mike_Ham_250R]

ok mike...and i got good used hoosier tires coming
Ill ask this again, do you want my 34mm carb? I will sell it dirt cheap just name a price.

[team-red-rider]

on untill i see what the engine comes with ok...um i also have a keihin oval slide from a 97 kx 250 think thatd work?

[Mike_Ham_250R]

on untill i see what the engine comes with ok...um i also have a keihin oval slide from a 97 kx 250 think thatd work?
No its too big, It would be like a 38mm.

[Tri-ZNate]

How big is it?

[Billy Golightly]

what size hoosiers? a trike needs small, very small, rear tires for racing on the clay tracks. Even an 18inch hoosier, it will be 10 or 11inches wide and near impossible to get the rear broke loose with.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

How big is it?
A full nine inches.

Oh *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*..

[team-red-rider]

yea i got 18's =(

[Mike_Ham_250R]

yea i got 18's =(
Ill trade you these turf savers for them hoosiers straight up?

[team-red-rider]

no thx ill probly run them on the 110 lol

[firefirefire90]

yeah I was about to say...wouldn't the KX250 be your first serious 2 stroke?

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Suit yourself.

[team-red-rider]

it would be...if it ran ....im gonna part it probly!

[Mike_Ham_250R]

yeah I was about to say...wouldn't the KX250 be your first serious 2 stroke?
Dude you haven't seen his pw50 though. It has a 350x piston or something.

I forget.

[team-red-rider]

haha i havent had my pw since like 8th grade lol

[Mike_Ham_250R]

How come you were telling me about it a month ago?

[team-red-rider]

iwas talking about the yt-60 lol ...thats a diffrent thread tho

[Mike_Ham_250R]

iwas talking about the yt-60 lol ...thats a diffrent thread tho
Nope, im pretty sure it was your PW50. And then you took the PW50 engine and it bolted right up to the tri-zinger, remember?

[firefirefire90]

how lies come back to bite you in the but..


Now back to topic, you going to invest in a 200x front end? Possibly?

[team-red-rider]

enuffbout the pw this is my flat tracker thread ok lol

[team-red-rider]

hmmm im probly gonna go with the R forks for now and maybe use inverts later get some tripples made for my spare kx 250 forks?

[firefirefire90]

I wouldnt go with inverts on the flattracker. You dont need all of the travel that the KX's deliver. It would really be pointless.

[team-red-rider]

would that work??? and im gonna get a works rear shock

[Mike_Ham_250R]

KX250 inverts are too small. I hear that the KTM 300exc are the forks to have on a trike nowadays.

[team-red-rider]

hmm can i just use a set of 85/86 R forks?

[firefirefire90]

You have them mistaken with the KTM85 forks. Inverts are POINTLESS on a trike for flattrack. You need to get LOW. Work's doesn't make a rear shock. Just get yours rebuilt and re-valved for your weight. You don't need an aftermarket shock for racing unless you are going to go professional.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

hmm can i just use a set of 85/86 R forks?
No they arent good enough because firefire is wrong.

In flattrack when you go into a bend when you hit the brakes the forks bottom out from trying to stop a trike doing like 90mph like you will be doing. You want long travel and you need front brakes from a streetbike.

[team-red-rider]

hmm ok im gonna try and make this trike badA$$ lol better than this kid at schools 450 haha

[team-red-rider]

and not speed wise looks and stuff like that

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Oh yes that 250r should definatly eat anything up especially them lame ass 450's, they wont have anything on you.

[team-red-rider]

i never said speed i want it to look cooler than his stockish 06 R lol

[smyers33]

Why have looks without an engine to back it up. And why have an good engine in something that you can't control..... If I were doing this... I would figure out a way like Sykolincoln by using the 200x rear shock. Just lower the front forks. wider axle or spacers.. Then worry bout the engine... I'd rather have a good running and good handling trike that looks crappy. Than a trike that looks sweet and don't run for *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*. I made this mistake once already on my 200x. I tore it all down and painted everything and got it looking half way decent, where I shouldve just got the engine rebuilt. Just my .02 cents

[Billy Golightly]

I think this is the only thread in the history of 3WW that has made me consider suicide after reading it. Please stop it, now :(


If your wanting to build a flat tracker, please do some research and find out what does and does not work first. You don't need to re-invent the wheel before you even get onto the track for the first time.

Exactly....

[team-red-rider]

hmm good idea ohh and does a bare motor cool better than a painted or pwdercoated one?

LOL that is how I see it.

We need a Karma system or something that is like impossible to abuse. Id give you +1 for that post.

[Mike_Ham_250R]

hmm good idea ohh and does a bare motor cool better than a painted or pwdercoated one?
They don't any better but the trike is much faster without the powdercoat because is makes it much lighter and lighter=faster.

[team-red-rider]

will the 84 wiring/electrics i bought work on the 82 motor?

[Tri-ZNate]

good GOD, 30+ posts in the last 20min.

Do EXACTLY as smyers33 said or just leave your shocks alone and just adjust preload in the rear and lower the front. get some 2" wheel spacers and you'll be pimpin.

Now just try and hook up the electronics since you have the whole bike there and see if they work. This isnt rocket science.

Maybe this thread should be put under the title of the sticky, "For the love of God, Don't type like an idiot!"

[team-red-rider]

um i dont have the bike yet...im waiting for it to be shipped to me lol

[team-red-rider]

i only have the tank and electrics the frame motor and all the parts are coming here from independance iowa...

Wow, I didn't say that? :rolleyes:

YEah, but listen to the people who aren't yanking your chain. Get the trike LOW and then worry about motor mods. You aren't much of an experienced triker looking at the trikes in your sig, once you get comforatble with the 250R with rebuilt stock suspension and lowered some, then you can get serious suspension. You really are only racing for fun. Don't get new 800 dollar shocks or anything. A good rebuild and a lowering will do its job. I wouldn't put a 200x shock in there. That shock is valved for a "pro-link" type suspension..not a single link suspension. You would have to get it re-valved which is quite expensive. An Ohlins shock for a blaster should bolt up quite easily. And they only cost 200-300 dollars according to ebay.

[team-red-rider]

well ive had other trikes and ive rode them but could never find an r or an for sale and trust meh i can kick ass on a hardtail haha

[smyers33]

I know you said mostly what I said Firefirefire... But he obviously didn't care to listen. I don't know... Good luck to ya! But I'm not reading any more until its finished!

[Tri-ZNate]

Too many posts FireFireFire90, lol didnt realized that i may have repeated, but eventually his ears will become cloggged enough that what is said doesnt go right through

[DeePa]

i plainly refuse to read his posts until all of the fun stuff like this starts to happen...

I am sorry if that came out rude directly to both of you, I appologize..just all these posts are getting to my head :lol: . I meant no disrespect. :welcome:

[Tri-ZNate]

Yeah, these threads get annoying. Like I said, its goes in one ear and out the other

[team-red-rider]

ok no i heard what u guys said ok
first before any thing else i gotta GET LOW! (200x forks and rebuilt rear shock
next is get it running good
last is get it lookin good

[Tri-ZNate]

dont even need to use 200x front end. Just lower the tripples and shave the stops.

[SYKO]

ship all these parts as they come in to my house, I will put it together and set it up how it needs to be set up for the track, you dont need a wicked motor out there, jsut a decent running one, dont need a 200x front, infact I think you will be better off with the stock front, I will put together and set up for free as long as you get the needed parts for it. MY OFFER STANDS NOW, THIS IS THE LAST TIME I WILL POST IN THIS THREAD. pm me if you are serious. I dont want some kid to come out to the track and possibly killing himself becouse he listened to to many people about building his ride, or thinking something was "cool" but is bad for racing.

[team-red-rider]

ok syko pm sent!

[team-red-rider]

the parts arent here yet.....dhl shipped them out today and if anyone want to kno im getting them from rugabugadouglas...

[ProCarbine2k1]

i had my doubts about this kid at first.. but you never know, he may be for real about this project... mike h., who did you bet 50 dollars against?? this kid, or everyone reading this forum lol... it might be getting expensive up in here!! :lol: :lol: just kidding with you...

[BigGreenMachine]

I want to see this finished and done right. Not to spite someone but just because I know I gained a lot of knowledge from my project Tecate and still learn for that matter.

Don't worry about looks! FIRST make it a solid runner then worry about cosmetics. Wish I had took my own advice the first time around on my Tecate build, would have gotten a lot more seat time vs looking at a pretty machine.

[team-red-rider]

ok ill get some...(on a side note if *Edited**Edited* reading this doug *Edited**Edited* stuff is going out tomorrow...and i need that frame and stuff lol...shoot me a pm or call me...)

[Rex Karz]

I raced my first flat track race this weekend. I'm totally hooked. This is my calling.


It was on a stock 350X that I lowered the forks in and strapped the rear swingarm to suck it down. Don't even think shocks were needed. Pics at 3wheeler.org.

Next year, look for an open-piped, 4-stroke, nerf-bumpered Alky/Nitro burning screamer on the track.

FWIW, I will be out in FL in a couple months to vacation.....

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Bump............

[team-red-rider]

nothing new except Alan (sykolincoln) hooked me up with an exhaust! THX again Alan

Hey Rex I would not use a strap....it will kill you. It's been a long time since I fooled around with a 350, but I believe that you can lower the rear end easily by removing the lower spacer on the swingarm and bolting the shock directly to the swinger.

Just an FYI.
