Chassis / Carrier Bearing Depth
« on: June 29, 2015, 05:34:46 PM »
As several of you know, I've been having issues with a Niche carrier I purchased. The manufacturer has agreed to refund my money, however before I send it back I want to be SURE that it is, in fact, wrong.

Issue:
It appears that the sprocket side bearing is .150" too deep; the sprocket hub will wad the seal before it seats against the bearing race. The sprocket side bearing is .150" deeper than the bearing on the brake disk side.

Request:
Can someone with a known-good assembled carrier please measure the depth from the seal face to the bearing race on each side of your carrier and tell me what your measurements are?

Disclaimer:
This is my first R, and it's a bastardized mess of cob jobs. I don't personally know anyone else that owns one, so I'm heavily relying on the internet and you fine peeps on .org as I have no other point of reference.

~Thanks much

Wanted / WANTED: 86-87 swing arm
« on: May 10, 2015, 12:50:37 PM »
The bike I'm building turns out to have an 85 ATC swing arm on it. I bought an carrier and axle, that obviously won't fit. I'd rather have the proper equipment on the machine, so if anyone has one laying in the shed out back let me know!
Thanks!

Projects / 87' R project
« on: April 23, 2015, 09:22:43 AM »
Hey guys. I've had so many irons in the fire I've been kind of slacking on doing the interwebs thing. So now that I'm on the home stretch with this project, and things have settled down a little, I figured I'd throw up a build thread for some pics. We all love pics, pics are the best.

I bought a fairly good running R, but it was just riddled with hacked cob jobs and worn out components. So, rather than nickle and diming it, I finally said to heck with it and stripped it down to the frame. Enjoy!

[TD]I bought a new bearing carrier for my R (1987), and the outer seals don't touch the seal surfaces on the sprocket hub / rotor hub. Was there different diameters over the years and someone has a different axle in it?[/TD]

If I know what the diameter is supposed to be I'll just turn it down and machine a ring the correct size and press it on. So... if anyone has a fresh hub laying around that they can mic the surface of that'd be awesome![/TD]

Engine and Bottom End / Poor kicker engagement
« on: December 04, 2014, 05:32:33 PM »
I'm sure people have encountered this. If you gingerly ease the kicker down... I mean seriously gingerly... you can then grab a tooth and kick it over. If you try to do it normally (ease down at a normal rate to catch tooth then kick) you will have a sore ankle. Supposedly the previous owner had a dealer look at it and they did something to "help" it... but I'm not happy with it.  I have that side of the lower end apart already for a clutch and basket, anything I should do? What's your input?

General 2 Stroke / clutch basket removal
« on: November 30, 2014, 03:10:50 PM »
I ripped the clutch apart on my 87, the stock basket fingers are grooved pretty badly. I could machine them, but it seemed better to just put a Hinson basket in it. Which leads to this topic, any advice on best method to separate the basket from its drive gear?

I was at the truck stop getting diesel and this thing just came out of nowhere and jumped into my truck!

Introductions / Hello from upstate NY!
« on: November 20, 2014, 10:26:00 AM »
Hey gang,
I just wanted to introduce myself after signing up to your forum.  I'm Taylor, 32 y/o dude from the snowy north. I don't own a 250R, unfortunately, but have been on quads since I was about 7 years old. Since I was a kid, the 250R has been a dream machine; I spent countless hours on the trails / quarries around my home town watching guys with R's run around, dreaming of my own.  Unfortunately, at that time (and most of my life therafter) the feasability of owning one just wasn't there; expenses and other priorities in life didn't allow for it. I worked as a machinist for quite a long time, during that time running a 700 dollar Blaster and slowly transforming it into the race machine it is today; I've actually owned it for close to 15 years. In 2009, the recession struck home and I found myself unemployed.  Since then, I've returned to college, graduated, and started a new career in engineering.   With that, I feel that 25 years later, it's time to attempt to fill that childhood dream.  I've been casually shopping for the right machine / deal, and it led me to your forum.  I'm a board member for a Jeep club forum, and I look forward to getting to know some of you and seeing what this new group has to offer! Cheers to all and to keeping the 2-strokes alive!
