Clarke Desert oversized Tank. You got a great deal on this quad :) oh yeah check what the Gearing is, back sprocket look's small more topend speed no torque, back bearing's look loose might be the drag on brake and pinch on chain
I just commented on another post/video. In the gearbox 10W-40 Synthetic ATV/UTV Engine Oil Amsoil, but first use another cheaper oil and run it warm to clean the inside. Amsoil interceptor or Dominator for the fuel oil mix. If you like your engines you only use the very best. Keep on posting & sharing. Grtz A Belgian
Tecate 3 wheeler in mix if he still has it,i f so he need's to put tecate 4 back hubs and wheel's on that, as T3 had to small a tire on tecate 3 made it slower
The theory on why the oil is metallic is incorrect because the crankcase on a 2stroke is sealed off from the transmission so that’s probably from clutch or a lower end bearing
I was just thinking that 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 It all from the clutch , the oil is very very old and the clutch is very old as well 😳 All metal against metal inside of the gearbox is well worn in and won't be shaving off into the oil
Trans oil is separated . 2 strokes have no crank case oil lol. That’s in the fuel when you mix it. Looks like you clutch basket is worn out. Put 750 ml to help the counter balancer lubed

Why on earth have 2 people disliked this video ?, love watching you work on bikes/quads, just one question though, how do your parents neighbours mind you blasting around their garden and up and down the road ? They all seem very understanding along that street.

FOR PLASTICS BTW: Use boiled lin seed oil/paint thinner 60:40 mix. 60% paint thinner 40% paint thinner... used it on my 86 white plastics brought back the shine and removed the stains.
I want a 250r so bad. My favorite quad. My dad had one when I was a teenager. Let me ride it and I had an absolute blast. Fell in love with the Honda 250s then and there is
You don't have to remove the whole carb to check jets. There is an inspection port on the bottom of the bowl. You can remove an replace jets by loosening clamps and spinning the carb in the boots to get to the inspection port
Joe you best keep this one. They are getting extremely difficult to find and even if you have to do some work on the machine, it is something to keep ahold of
Hey Joe, the plastic repair kits that have powders and a solvent will repair that fuel tank's cap. The solvent turns the powder into a solid plastic and it melts the new and old plastic together. Each kit can do many small or a few large cracks. Might save you some cask and also help you repair what might not be available. Nice score (Quad) Joe :)
No metal particles from the piston, rings nor the wall of the cylinder should ever end up in the transmission/clutch oil. They are separate parts of the machine. After seeing what came out of the oil level check hole, I believe you have an engine with a new crank. That thing that came out looks like a little case sealant. If you are curious about what's in that old oil, you can wrap a magnet with Curran or plastic wrap , dip it in the oil and see if any ferrous particles stick. Send a sample to be checked by a lab if you'd like to know what else is in there. It'll give you loads of information about the health of your engine.
I was thinking it was either gasket maker or an o-ring that was on that oil check bolt. I haven't messed with a 250R in decades. Don't remember if the oil check bolt had an o-ring or not.
Man I love my 89 trx250r she has some killer goodies like widening kit + 6 inches and stretched rear swing arm + 4 inches the hole motor was gone though with a big bore and stroked esr 310 kit, went with a bigger carb from a 34mm to a 38mm then throw a fmf gold series fatty pipe on with the powercore silencer and last but not least a Vforce 3 reeds cage and carbon petals went in. She is extremely fast I wouldn't ever trade or sell her I just couldn't I've got way too many amazing memories with her
Don't forget to redo the brakes before you ride. If they are that tight the friction will give you problems not only your caliper but your brake fluid also.
I had one just like this but blue when i was a kid. Super kool quad. Was a turd compared to my friends banshee tho lol. Traded up to a banshee in like a year
Needs a good going thru! Squeaks & creaks pretty bad. Prob needs new clutch w/that metallic lookin oil. Get new stock fenders an nice seat cover. Really go all out on this one !
I enjoy your videos, but as a fellow enthusiast I don’t recommend warming a bike up prior to selling as it can throw shade towards the buyer! I know you’re not that type of guy but just for future reference
22:48 you know that its case sealant that thermal silicone when you put to much and asemble block back it squezes from outside you usualy wipe it down with finger but what happens inside...? it gets loose those silicone strings mixes in oil and ends up in oil pump clogs up filter and enegine dosent get enough oil that could kill your engine
i would want to know where all that metal came from in the oil , that looks a lot something is obviously rubbing or it hasn't been put together right. plenty of compression though. fresh bore and piston is not going to put metallic particles in the gearbox oil!!
@@Anticidal25901 could be clutch but could also be something metal getting ground down into dust could be shit oil breaking down the clutch plates but either way look before you blow this one up too. im still here and still loving the bikes and quads your getting lately
@@AllThingsCycle 6 to 9k! 😄 that's insane and way overpriced(over exaggerated). Nobody in there right mind would pay even 6k for one. You could just about buy a bran new quad for the 9k, at the least have a mint way newer nicer quad. Somthings only worth what someone will pay for it. And they're not paying no 9k😂 a fool and his money will part ways but even a fool ain't paying that man.
19:20-----That stuff looks like the old Arco graphite oil from the late 70's that failed so miserably. I'd change it and drain it again to clean it out better.
The 85 noooo !! Loved that bike . Just got a 2014 kx85 in trade . It’s my profile pic … I got rid of my cr85r 2004 and I regretted it so bad so wanted to try to Kawi . Even though my kx only has 22hp vs the cr had 26hp
damn a dirt bike vs a 2 stroke quad THAT IS SICK (even with 1000$ extra) that old cr250 is worth for its age like 2000€ on a good day real sell price 1500€ if mint. that trx250r i cant value they go for same price as banshee if not more cause europe doesnt have many of them
You have a good base to build a bitchin xc racer out of that 250r. If I ever get back into racing, I'd love to build a 250r. I'd keep this one for sure.
That voltage regulator looked like it was designed to be bolted to the metal frame to get rid of excess heat. By zip typing it like that it would surely cook ?
My city I’ve seen them sell for less like 8-9k in like new fully rebuilt condition, quads are not popular around Australia, honestly never seen 1 quad at all whilst out riding tbh
I just bought a new exhaust for my 400ex a 1999 the exhaust is a big evo with an evo it just backfires like crazy when u let go of the gas what do I do first time without a stock exhaust on that quad is it the jetting?
Hey Joe, first off great video! I love all your videos! This is super random, but how much should a clutch replacement cost for a shop? And how hard would it be to do myself? I don’t know if I have much clutch left on my 07 raptor 350 haha

I just got a great idea. You should do a three way race with the Trx, Lt, and Tecate 4. 250 2 stroke shoutout! 🏁🤙
Yep that's coming up!
That's probably the best idea for video in this situation
Also the Honda 250 three wheeler
Tecate 3 wheeler in mix if he still has it,i f so he need's to put tecate 4 back hubs and wheel's on that, as T3 had to small a tire on tecate 3 made it slower

Completely agree. Not sure how he came up with his theory on this one.

Yes exactly, its gearbox oil, transmission oil, gear oil that gets changed. Mechanically (sealed) separated from the crankcase, piston etc.
After all the 2strokes he's rebuilt he doesn't know that these are seperate?
I like how “WE” got this work done.
You did the work and I had a beer watching it!
Great trade/buy!
Time to rip it!
The trans oil is separate from the piston and crank that uses premix for lubrications so the oil color has nothing to do with it being a new piston.
Yep you are correct. I was thinking 4 stroke.
i think thats a bad trade.. those CR250s are skyrocketing in price compared to quads.
Your old regulator came out of an old Delco 3 wire alternator. Inovative!

In sweden its at least 6grand easy

i think the voltage regulator came out of a GM alternator
A guy 3 miles from me has one original sitting a shed . Its probably has 11/2" of dust on it.
Voltage regulator isn’t going to wrk if it’s not bolted down to make ground. By the looks of that one anyways
