Riding the 1996 cr250 for the first time after full rebuild

Finally get to break in this totally rebuilt Honda cr250. All need suspension was added and was revalved by KPS so it was great to test those changes as well.

I have a 1996 honda cr250R also. It was my dad's. I still love riding that bike.

[@motoblast3574]

It’s such a good bike even by today’s standards

[@brianhardy1812]

Great looking bike. I owned a 96 once upon a time and it had probably the best 2 stroke engine I’ve ever ridden. It had power everywhere it seemed like and it was jetted perfectly.

[@motoblast3574]

Thank you so much! Yes these motors were the best up till 2001. Great all around power and very manageable

Sounds sweet 👌

[@motoblast3574]

The sound is addicting!

[@kevinrowe3272]

Nothing sounds like a Honda Reed case two stroke

[@mikemoto27]

What year Yamaha pegs? I have a 96 cr250 and I’m running the IMS ones but they could be bigger

[@motoblast3574]

I'm pretty sure they are 2016 or something. They were all the same for many years I believe

[@sammyfoister3677]

hey can you give me a list of parts for the rotor upgrade? Where did you get the tank and pipe from?

[@motoblast3574]

The rotor was actually custom made from another guy building a replica bike. The parts needed was just the rotor and a new custom caliper hanger that for the forks. Tank is stock and the pipe was ordered from pro circuit.

[@lukevlassis9235]

Hey where did you get the perforated gas tank sticker?

[@motoblast3574]

I got these graphics all from Adept creative co.

[@Mr10usdad]

I love my 1995 CR250 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Gqo2ibj8SId8k Make two strokes great again!

[@motoblast3574]

awesome! just watched your video. Bike looks soo good. I love the color of those plastics you have

[@Mr10usdad]

@@motoblast3574 thanks so much!

[@kevinrowe3272]

How big of a difference did the fork switch make?

[@motoblast3574]

big difference if you are riding a rough mx track. the original forks are just too soft and bottom easily.

[@kevinrowe3272]

@@motoblast3574 Gotcha. I've got a 96 as well and am debating on a fork switch. Any issue with fork setback changing the handling much? I'm assuming you had to switch axle, spacers, brake mount; and shim the stock triples, or use the newer triple with different bearings, correct? Thanks again! Sharp bike and nice riding!
