Motocross: My latest creation
Hey all,
I'm wondering if we have any motocross riders here on steemit. I want to share a little bit about the latest dirt bike I built. I've never been a person who likes brand new toys, i'd rather get it in a box and learn something new while building it.
Orginally the dirt bike is a 1986 xr 250r. Very versatile bike of its time. They were great to ride on/off road. This particular dirt bike was purchased in pieces and with a blown up motor.
Once I got the bike back together I added a handful of modifications
- welded a kickstand on. The previous one had been broken off
- new exhaust system and Cobra muffler
- bored out cylinder and new Wiseco piston. (Changing the cc from 250 to 265).
- hand grips
- racing clutch
- racing camshaft
- new front and rear tires (not shown in picture)
- front brake pads
- new chain
- new sprocket (same gearing)
At this point the bike is almost brand new besides the plastics. It's a blast to ride! I'm looking to enter a few enduro races this fall.
I'm curious if anyone else rides? Watcha got?

Awesome build! I used to have a 93' KX 250 back in the day with a FMF muffler system. I grew up riding these things in south florida
Ooh those 2 strokes are fun. People complain to much about noise in NH unfortunately.
