I've barely made any progress on it other than a little disassembly and accounting for what I have. I will be taking my time on this build for sure as I have very little knowledge with 2 strokes. It may be weird but I got it mainly to learn as opposed to wanting an every day rider. Which is why I want to rebuild it as close to its stock form as possible minus tires and other small things of course. I'm also fixing up two squares right now as well. 85 and an 86 Honda 250 quawd version of the big red 250es. There is something about the 80s ATV/atc's that just draws me towards them. What's nice is I only have 3 bills in all three.

just a thought but how hard would it be to put a blaster motor in an 81r frame. i know the chain is on different sides but could i flip the swinger and re-weld the shock mount or what other 2 stroke engines are out there that have the chain on the right side. i know i can find an engine for the bike im just thinking it would be cool to have a newer engine with a better parts availability. let me know what your opinions are.

Newer engines with the chain on the other side are very few. ROTAX maybe??? Most newer engines will be water cooled. A good engine, but just as old or older, is the CR 480.
TORKER.

Got a question about my tank. The 250 on it was painted on was this an option or something that was done to replace the stickers.
Got a bunch of stuff coming in the mail will post picks when it gets here. Should have some pics tomorrow after I get home.

I can't wait till I get off work Monday morning. Reason being I get to go pick up the heart for my r from fedx. With that being said I should be able to make some real progress on this thing now. Its starting to warm up outside finally and I can work in the garage again. Will post pics when I get it.

so i finally got my motor and i have a few questions. the first of which is the head and some scaring i was just wondering if i will need a new one or if the one i have will be fine. second. i got my digital caliper out and the bore was 71mm not 70mm so will a stock head gasket work or will i have to get a bigger one and if so where would be the best place to do so.
the guy i bought the motor from made sure it wasnt going to get damaged in shipping thats for sure. he wraped it in about five pounds of bobubble wrap and then incased it in spray foam. it took me about an hour to get it out of the box.
can anybody identify the twist throttle it says TCI and its got some age on it in the pic it has been cleaned.
hopefully progress on this will pick up now that its starting to warm up.

Looks like it had a ring let go at some point. Might explain the +1 on the bore. No need to be concerned with what I'm seeing. The standard gasket (from Honda if available) will work fine. You had a shipper that cared about the parts he was sending out... lucky you! No clue on the twist throttle. Good to see another air cooled bike being put back together. Without guys like you, they will only be a memory for most. Congrats on the family expansion and good luck on the trike.

i have a hard time letting any three wheeler go to waste even though mine would have been a parts bike to most. in some sick and twisted way i like them like that. it lets me get to know the bike really well and after im done i will know that nothing will be wrong with the trike.
thank you for the congrats i cant wait till may 21st. we get to fing out if its a boy or a girl. then i need to start looking for a 70 to restore.
