Heck yeah buddy

You should! It’s. Great bike and year. Can’t go wrong with an xr

The xr250 has a lot of torque which is fun the 250f feels very smooth when accelerating. I’d say you feel faster in the 250f but both have a similar top speed

lol of course

Of all the 200’s I’ve never ridden one but I’d like to. I bet there’s more power with the 4 valve

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway in original cond and 40yo. A few mech. gremlins Amazing it's still ran Considering had no oil in the motor / air filter was weetbix.

Thanks for tuning in we appreciate it. Hope it helped!

Stock rear is 17 inches so you would need a 86-89 xr250 rim to move up to 18 inches. That would be a direct bolt on. You can also use a 90-95 but welding is required

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway thank you

That is a great price for the year and bike. You’ll get plenty of hours out of that motorcycle and the parts rebuild. The engine are extremely affordable about $55 for a top end kit you can easily do it by watching a video on UA-cam, which will save you even more money on labor.

Thanks man!

That’s great to hear! Enjoy the riding!

Heck yeah typical Honda low end torque

Yes it does

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway a la mia no, es de 1984 con dos salidas de carburador, que recomiendas? buscar algun carburador doble garganta o hacer una tubera con reduccion de 2 salidas a 1?

Thanks for watching we appreciate it! Direct swap years would be 1986-89 xr250r shock. Or you can do the 1985-91 xr200r shock swap in. Both bolt on but you need to make a mount for the canister

I disagree. No changes on the 200 from 1986-2002 excluding 1985 with the engine (4 valve) and 1986-91 suspension. The 1986-89 xr250 is closer in likeness due to no rear disc break till 90.

Thanks for the comment! The bike is a powerhouse

That is the one sad thing about fuel injection.

I rode a ttr250 last year that Is a highly underrated trail bike. Definitely fun to ride and has good balance. The crf250f has a few benefits but is heavy and the seat is not my favorite

If you count neutral I suppose

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway It has 6 forward gears + neutral. A 5 speed ATC trans can be swapped in though, that's the only way yours would be a five speed

It’s a great purchase, my grandpa loves his. I would recommend the seat concepts soft seat foam replacement!

We always use a paint brush and oil to lightly lubricate the cylinder prior to installing the piston.

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway cool gotcha do you guys fix other people's motorcycles or is it just a hobby of yours good job guys Jesse

People ride during The winter months I don’t see an issue with it.

@SubscibeBikeGiveaway Riding allows the engine to warm up and remove any vapor. Idling in your garage only encourages the production of eater vapor and condensation internally. Ride your ride though. Cheers.

I bought mine on Motorsport just type in your year and model the use the OEM parts page

Thanks Brother we’re looking at July before he’s probably able to get back out on the trail

Pretty much 4 vs 2 valve again and a disc break on the 250

If you’re looking for bolt on buy 1986 through 1989 XR 250, swing arm rear rim/ front rim, forks, and triple trees. If you would like to do a little bit of extra work, I would recommend the 1995 XR 250 and down to 1990 swing arm fork, triple trees, and rims that will give you disc brakes. The only thing I would say you have to buy is 1986 through 89 linkage that way the offset works when you go to board together you will have to do some welding to get the disc break in the rear to work properly.

It’s a great place! Thanks for tuning in!

Absolutely if you have any questions, feel free to give me a shout. If you check out the other build video that might be helpful as well. Kind of shows everything in detail.

I replaced both the main jet, and the idle jet runs really nice!

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway Cheers guys, having a carb nightmare mare!

Just Sub to the channel

The point was to do what Honda would not. Put quality parts on a bike that was skimped on after 1991

@mschumaker1 They say air-cooled motors are play bikes but I say differ. Toys constantly require being replaced or repaired. The full on race bikes are the Toys. Sir, the point is the fact he restored something real and not a Toy grenade.

Great question I am 6’1 so it’s not a huge bike but you can ride it comfortably at my height.

Great question! From what I’ve seen the gaskets are very similar. I don’t think I’ve ever tried to swap between the two bikes but honestly the bore is the same. The stroke is different, so I don’t see why the gasket wouldn’t work, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you’re in dire need to get a bike back together and you only have one kit and I guess you could try it.

Sounds awesome!

So my plan is to add a lowering link and 1986-89 links. Currently running a 95 250 shock and 96 xr200 links

Thanks. That makes sense to correct the geometry.@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway

Great question. I’ve seen every size and age ride big bikes. The 400 is definitely not a beginner bike but if you’re a quick learner you can grow into it. Personally a nice xr250r is a great bike to learn on. Being confident is key if your not confident on the 400 buy a 250

Yes 2 days i have my youngest at 16 yrs old riding on dirt track , after a few hours learning the clutch , gears and brakes . :) All is well both my Sons are riding xr400's for their first bikes . Cost wise we couldn't have pulled it off anyother way . Now to get busy on that trailer we paid 140$ for lol. Get it ready for riding in the spring . Thx

@@SubscibeBikeGiveaway My nephew, at the time was 16 and he had me buy the 02' XR250R. I already had a CRF230. I gave it my all to convince him to let me buy the 230F. However, his friends had more influence over him than I, telling him he needed no less than a 250cc bike. To make this short he quickly found the XR250R had less Torque and slower in a drag race through the first 5 gears, required an electric starter seeing it would not start once dropped or when it got hot and a pure night mare on single tracks due to it being 276lbs. CRF230 at the time, was uncorked/jetted with a 14 tooth counter sprocket, Drill spark arrestor and stock header. With the FMF header I have on it today and foot peg relocation offering more room to shift the 230F, the 250 isn't on the 230F level. Today he wants to trade it for a XR200 or CRF230.

We are, unfortunately my grandpa has cancer so we’re on a bit of a break.

Thank you!

Hello thanks for joining in! We are in the process of rebuilding a crf230f. The motor rebuild is live more to come

It’s a great bike. Would like some better suspension and seat

Off hand I’m not sure. But if you measure the triple tree and shock length you can probably see if it will

Probably be easier to make motor mounts for a cr roller

Thanks for your comment. I have owned a plethora of 230’s and your right the extra weight definitely slows the power increase. The gearing on the 200 is much more torquey in my opinion. The 230 does feel faster with the 6th gear. The 200 only has 5 gears 85 and up.

The difference in weight between the two is 15 lbs does that really make a noticeable difference?

Honestly there’s a lot that can cause bog. Air leak or even a carb adjustment issue. Personally I have yet to see a pipe cause a bog issue unless it’s clogged

Good points for sure. I have had to drill and replace sever fittings for that very reason.

Thank you! It’s been great to ride since building it

More to come!

For sure man Thank you for the support!

They are hard to come by, looking for the bulb or the shroud ?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Windy for sure
