any cheap motor fit a 86 250R frame?

[Jim mac]

might go get a 86 250R without a motor, Just wondering what motor might be a easy fit in the frame? I guess I should also say cheap too. thanks jim

A 250R motor will bolt right in without any mods!

[SYKO]

he said cheap though! every brothers mother thinks a running stc or trx motor is worth 1500 by itself, whatever you decide it will have to be a short motor as those chass's dont have much room for taller motors, If your a small guy you could put a 125 liquid in there off a cr or something similar those bikes seem to sell real cheap everywhere in good running condition, and there are big bore kits avail for them so you could possibly make a newer 200R!!

[Jim mac]

how about a 185 or 200S motor? Jim

[oldsking86]

ummmm no, it's against the 250r law haha

I was thinking about coming down there to pick that up on Monday.

Let me know if you pass on it. The dude isn't very good about answering e-mails promptly.

I ended up getting it. he just wanted to get it out of the yard. tossed in a spare swingarm, durablue axle, ITP rims,stock gold rims and tires, extra tires, and a set of front tires and rims (gold) from a quad. Now to find a motor. Turns out all the electrics are there. the rear master is gone. the front master,res, and hose is missing. Jim

CR250... Or even better yet... a CR500...

[3Razors]

Was this a deal on craigslist? Did you get it for a good price?

[Jim mac]

Craigslist, 100 bucks.

[ATC-Eric]

Heck, you could part some of those extras out, probably cover a good amount of your cost.

[jeffatc250r]

Good score! since you got it cheap enough, you should give it the honor of a 250r motor, im sure you could make a decent trail bike for under $750, atleast thats the route i personally would take.
