Got the 84 R done!

[roger86200x]

FINALLY, I got the 84 250r done! WOW, what a wakeup call compared to the 86 200x! I cant keep the wheel on the ground 1st through 4th!

Had one problem after another including snapping off a jug stud trying to get it out for replacement.... had to take it to the machine shop.

Anyways...

.020 over Wiseco, new connecting rod and bearings; otherwise stock in great shape for $400 and $500 in parts labor and Ive got a great R for under $900.

It had a +2 I think swingarm on it but when I bought my swingarm bolt it came with the swingarm so I slapped on the stock swingarm. I tried "notching" the +2 swingarm to get the bearing holder cap off and its sawzall'ed pretty good - so I didnt use it. I can repair it and put it on later if I want.

What are the advantages of the longer swingrm?

The +2 swinger will help keep the front wheel down. Congrats on saving another fine machine from fading into obscurity. I'm sure you won't regret it.

i would like to see the extended wing arm that you have.

Allright.... I will try to take some pics of the R tonight and Ill get a few of the swingarm. I hit it with the sawzall a little bit trying to get the old bolt, etc out but its nothing that couldnt be fixed.

Im not sure what it is... If I remember right I think a sticker on it says primary drive and its square/rectangular tubing.... very different from the stock one...

What make swinger is it?

[roger86200x]

Looks like a +2 Durablue..... for a 84 250r...

Im not sure who makes it but by the pic I saw of a Durablue it looks the exact same and used to be blue but was painted silver......

i am almost positive thats a westcoast. they were blue also( dont know why) but it has some of the same features as the one i have for my 82r.

Whatever swingarm it is, it's sweet!

Move your little thumb away from the sawzall marks, lets see the carnage :lol:
