[250rJAMIE]

hey all,
just signed up,finally got into trikes i had a modified blaster sold that off last thursday then got in touch with a guy with a 250r sittin in his mates shed so i snapped that up straight away the guy was kinda enough to drop it off to me,it had a few carby problems solved all them out and its running excellent went riding saturday and sunday,the only problem i got now is that clutch is going slowly the fibre plates need replacing so it should be good for another few weekends then i'l replace it or im running the wrong gear oil in it,its got a pipe and silencer on it,k&n filter,a set of 8" alloy rear rims and after market axle in it besides that it seems original.
this is when i first got it friday arvo,

Welcome to the boards, Yet another member from across the seas. Now you gotta plan on making the TF trip

[ccdhowell]

:welcome: , looks like you're gonna fit in rather well around here. Nice R. Try changing the trans oil to see if that cleans the clutches up some. I don't know what you guys have down there, I'd recommend Bel-Ray Gear Saver 75W. :beer , Chris

[Dirtcrasher]

Very nice R !! :w00t: :welcome:

Be sure to grab yourself a 1989 250R clutch update kit for that if you change out the clutch. It is a great upgrade for about 80$....

IDK how much longer will have that kkit available, gotta get discontinued sooner or later...

[oldsking86]

Speaking of that I need to scoop me up one of those

Yea welcome to the boards mate! Sweet looking R also, great deal to come across in that shape... Gotta love them dunes too!!

[Dammit!]

I think I only paid $55 for that '89 upgrade kit at servicehonda.com ;)


Welcome to the boards! We have quite a few members from down your way.

[oldsking86]

Dang that's cheaper then ebay! they for for over 60 bucks easily on there

[250rJAMIE]

thanks all,yeah i just think im running too thick of oil in it,it wasnt slipping and it was changing gears heaps clearly at the beach on the weekend and i got about 12hrs riding time in,im running bel-ray 80w90 in it now and that seems a little too thick so i will grab a bottle of 75w and see if that cures the problem........thanks

[ceaserthethird]

Dam that baby's Sweet as Cherry Pie LOL

Good Job Bro welcome to the Boards !

[Huffa]

Nice R !

I never saw one with those rear fender HRC stickers on, where did you get them ?

[250rJAMIE]

they came on the bike when i got it last friday......

[NINJA]

Always nice to see someone switch from quads to trikes. Nice score man! BTW, welcome to the boards.

[Huffa]

they came on the bike when i got it last friday......

Possible to contact owner yet and find out?, it's really important to me because I'd like to get some !!

I wonder if your anywhere close to Aussieduner, he makes plastic mold items for R and such.

[250rJAMIE]

yeah im close to aussieduner his only about 20mins away from me,i've been for a ride over to the dunes with him before on my old blaster i had,im keen to get in there for another ride soon with him on his now white 250r,i got the bike of paul c who i think is on this forum so you might need to ask him about those hrc stickers on it....

[BigGreenMachine]

Nice 250R and what a beautiful riding area you guys have! I love sand dunes. I think everyone needs a shot of them throwing up huge roost on the crest of a dune, just because its the coolest looking thing ever.

[250rJAMIE]

went riding yesterday only got 1 decent 15-20min ride before my clutch decided to go on me,im up for new fibre plates and metal plates,lucky im getting a fibre kit this morning and hopefully the metal plates aswel,

my 250r sittin in the carpark,
