Title: Just getting started
Post by: Mitch88R on February 11, 2014, 09:48:05 AM

Hey guys, new here and just getting into the 250r's!  Came from the four strokes....I'll never go back. These 250r's are awesome.  Endless possibilities with these machines..... I started riding in the early 90 ' s with a suzuki 230 quad sport got out of it, then in 2003 I bought a brand new kfx 400. ( still have it) Man did the quads change.  Then fell in love with the Green machine and bought a used kfx450 project quad... Finished it sold it then had some extra money to get another project. That's when I found my R! It was a beater at first but I've breathed some life back in her. Seaching for these missing and broken pieces has been fun I've met a lot of nice guys....great people in these R's. Luckily my quad had a nice repainted frame to start with. Then I replaced all seals and bearings I could find. And found nice oem plastics. Now my engine just got rebuilt from a great guy in cali. Did an amazing job! Waiting on engine to get back.....I'll put pics up asap. ....before and after pics too. She is still a work in progress but it's coming along nicely.... glad to be a member. Let me know what ya'll think.

Hey man. Welcome to the site officially. I told you that they'll bug you for pics! We all like pictures.

Side note guys: the Cali builder isn't who we have in mind.

Sorry guys for slow response. ...I'll get pics up asap....engine isn't in yet......The guy building my engine is just one of us guys doing it out of his garage. ...never been a builder professionally.  He showed me his work and I was sold......and thank you guys.

Most of us here do our own 250's. But its better to have someone with the correct tools to take apart and reassemble. Loosing track of tranny parts and pressing seals and bearings in are not fun the first time. Glad you found someone local. Welcome to the site. If you got any questions most anyone here has been in your shoes.

Thanks guys! Ya he told me to watch out for propeller in water pump....and stator tool. I had no idea on the bottom ends....so it was best. Working on these is a breeze compared to 4 strokes. Easy to get in there. I'm gonna do my best to get pics up tonight. Tried the copy and paste from my phone but no luck....gonna try computer tonight.
