My First 3rd Gen 250R - The Daily Driver

[yaegerb]

Well, thanks to BKM, I finally have a new horse in my barn. You may recognize this 250R from Bryan's previous posts. He decided to thin the herd and let me join the 250R club and I must say, I am happy to be here. I won't be going gonzo on this bike...yet...LOL. For this year I will just be doing some maintenance items and getting it ready for some St. Joe trips this spring/summer. Currently on the rebuild list is a new set of front fork oil/dust seals and new OEM boots (Thanks Caesar!). While I am in there I am going to drop in some progressive springs. Other than that I am going to upgrade to a 38MM PWK and install some new reeds and she will be good to go!

I'm just glad it went to a good home. It looks so much better in your garage.lol

Welcome to the club Yeagerb!

That 38PWK is going to wake that thing up nicely.

But I'm here to tell ya, hopping these things up is addictive! Won't be long and you'll be looking at big bores...

That's what I hear! The aftermarket parts availability for these is ridiculous and way more plentiful than the 200x. I am like a kid in a candy store

Nice looking rig, congrats!

welcome to the club! I cant say enough good stuff about BKM, grreat guy and awesome to get stuff powdercoated through! anything special done or is that bike just bored and ported? a 38mm will be a nice upgrade to start with, just be careful because the mods dont end with the water cooled bikes

Im excited for st joes this year, finally going to have sand paddles to race their with hopefully they dont cover all the sand with rock stupid lead hazard hahaha

Thanks Jason! Yep, Bryan is a helluva guy and we have become pretty good friends over the past two years. funny that we haven't ridden together yet...LOL I am hoping we can change that this spring! He really needs let that sick (Dcreel)Tecate eat some St. Joe's

Nothing to fancy on motor mods with the bike thus far. It has a RAD valve, 36MM PJ (off of an 86 250R), on its second bore and has an FMF fatty pipe/silencer. No port or polish...yet. I am going to do a few maintenance items - Rebuild front forks with progressive springs, new seals, new fork oil, etc. Also going to put new reeds in and upgrade to a 38MM PWK. That will be about it before St. Joe's.

I'm building an '86 atc250r now, we'll have to get a ride together this spring..

[JasonB]

How in the hell did it happen to where you are building Honda's and I'm building Kawi's. Are we sure the Mayans weren't talking about the world ending in 2013?

I really hope we get together this spring Doug. I have heard lots of great things about you from Bryan and would love to get a ride together with all of us mid-westerners.

[Rebel Customs]
