We have gotten way off course here.

To Pintowagon77- The guy with the dumb questions you are education is not the guy who started this thread with the water cooled 84 250R. I think this guy has just jumped in here for some other reason.

To Johns'85250sx- Please give us some pics of what you think is a radiator and explain your assumption to this being a water cooled machine. Or admit this was a joke......... cause it really does not make any sense as to the facts you have provided us.

two stroke motorcyles are nolonger being produced, stoped in 2006 i think.

You thinking is a bit off... Yamaha, Husqvarna, KTM, Gas Gas, TM, ATK and a few other smaller European brands still import full sized 2 strokes, three of the big four still import minis (65's & 85's) and Husaburg is coming out with two strokes next year and Maico is going to start importing again next year through "Dirt Works Inc." Suzuki still produces 125's and 250's and markets them in Europe, and rumor has it Kawasaki is going to do the same next year. Two strokes are far from dead and with the extreeme cost of maintaining the new "Time Bomb" four strokes the only thing keeping the big four from seriously marketing them is the AMA's offset displacement handicap rules making 250's run with the 450 four strokes and the 125's run with the 250 four strokes. The EPA has nothing to do with it as competition models are exempt from the smog rules. Get the AMA to fix their pro rules and the four strokes will be extinct the next race (with the exception of the kids that cant learn to ride them because they grew up on four strokes).....

Sorry for the rant but I refuse to buy anything but a two stroke unless you can put plates on it and ride it on the interstate...
Sorry HONDA but when you released the "We are a green company, and we will never sell another two stroke" announcement you lost any chance of selling me anything including a generator or lawn mower ... Its all Harley's, Husky's and Vintage bikes for me...

Hey in the top pic the motor looks diferent than the botom one the twoo heads look diferent u think they made two diferent versions? Man it would b awsome to get ahold of that head!

Here is a picture of an 83-84 250R with the water cooled head on it. You can see the hoses going up to the radiator mounted on the triple trees.



This is a WORKS Honda 250R with the water cooled cylinder and head. If you had this bike in your barn, you'd be sitting on a goldmine.

And 2 stroke KTM's as well......................

The head? Did you not notice the whole jug is different?

Sorry for the dumb questions, in the future I'll be more careful.

[haggard 2hundie]

good read .... where would you add the coolant ??...seriouslly though take it easy on the guy we all gotta start somewhere

[Deathrocket]

watercooled head on an air cooled motor.. i like it but.. boy that motor is ugly.. of course.. i would be saying somthing like.. that guy whipped the out of me and my 81r but did you see how ugly that motor is? lol

They sort of nicknamed those heads percolators because they only had natural circulation, not circulation by a waterpump. Hot water would rise and go through the cooler and the cool water would return back to the cylinder head. They weren't the best, but it was an improvement. And the 2 trikes are a generation apart. 83-84 250r is the second generation and the 85-86 is the third generation and the 85-86 atc250r were watercooled.

sorry for the rant- as for 2 strokes being prodused guess i didn't take in acount the new production bikes and aftermarket things- and i don't ride yamaha been let down to many times. i was only refering to his admited knowlege of motors with his desire to put a compleately diffrerent motor, requireing many mods. but you got to start from somewhere so these guess wil teach ya-

Thanks to blue27, we might be able to shed some light. If it looks like this thing below the temporary lawnmower tank:



Then it's not a radiator, at least not to cool the engine.

(and I'm wondering why a 2 stroke would have an oil cooler?)

[willrideanythin]

To cool the oil. I couldnt resist.

[NINJA]

Like I'd said, troll crap!

[Tecate250]

Heheheh Pintonwagon you should not have even opened your mouth about stuff you dont even know or claim you do and call out another person. For one there are alot of perculating water cooled motors. Like the water cooled honda oddyessys, Oh and didnt anyone hear about the E TEC motor???? Guess thats only in canada. As far as this thread goes. MANY of you guys have "seen it all" attitude and think you seen it all when you havent. Mabey buddy posted a wrong pic. Mabey he just dont know and "thought" like alot of you he was right. Inturn I have seen many good board members push people away from this form with there attitude. The whole pic or shut blah blah blah attitude sucks bad and is not from a die hard triker. To help is why where here. And I hope he is right and shoves it so far in your faces. Just to prove a point. Anyway. I hope this guy does come back. 3 pages of babies wineing.
