Motocross: My latest creation

in #motocross10 years ago

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.
