what is different on 85 and 86 250r

[Bill]

Thanks guys that is very interesting !

So I'm looking for a couple of small parts for my 85 R, Cheap Cycle Parts list them available for the '86, and yes the P.N's are different.....

Chain Slider, swingarm
'85 52170-HA2-010
'86 52170-HA2-670

Rubber, RR Fender Setting, the rectangular ones
'85 50815-HA2-000
'86 50815-HA2-670

I have read that the '86 swingarm is different to include the pivot attach, as well as differences in the frame to include rubber parts... If anybody could further confirm, I would appreciate it.

Head tube angle is .5 degrees steeper on the 85.

I know somebody can answer this... Just need to know if these particular '86 parts work on an '85 as well...?

I have an 86 slider on my 85. It's a bolt on. The color/material is different, but it's interchangeable.
I don't know about the seat rubbers.

Thank you... I'm guessing the seat rubbers are the same as well, just trying to cheat a little.....

Yep... both interchangeable.
