In my Feb of dirtwheels, it says the 81 250r is essentially a cr250 engine with with a bigger flywheel and smaller carb, so I guess that means that the engine is the same as the 81-82 cr's, since the 81and82 250R's were the same right? I wouldnt take that to heart, unless you can get the top end for fairly cheap, I am sure thst someone on here knows for sure though.

I wish I knew but even if it did you still need a lot more than a jug to make a motor liquid. I'm pretty sure the case halves would be different and you'd still need a way to pump the water. From what I hear the air-cooled R's do really well without liquid cooling anyway. Sorry I don't have much for ya.

Go to www.powersportspro.com and look up the 81-82 CR250, you'll see they are very different motors.

I think he want's to know if an air cooled cr jug will work on the aircooled 81-82R.

lol, they didn't make an air cooled cr250 in 81-82.

Are you sure? Dirtwheels said they did, I dont know much about bike statistics, maybe they meant 1980cr since the 81R's came out in 1980?

**BigGreenMachine** · 02-02-2005, 04:04 PM

So your going to keep the 82? The 84 is an all around better bike then the 82 in every aspect. Both are aircooled, only the 85/86 Rs are liquid cooled.

A 84 tank will NOT fit a 82 frame BTW...

I wouldn't believe anything Dirtwheels says. They are just as dumb about trikes as they were 25 years ago.

Come on, I know they had aircooled cr250's around the late 70's early 80's, I dont know if the jugs will bolt up, but if you get the parts cheap, it's worth a try.

I have the Dura Blue 2.5" wheel spacers on my Tri Moto what a differance it has made in handling.

Thread: extended axle, or wheel spacers??
