Hello all! I have had a 1986 Honda TRX250R for a long time now and I am thinking about a total rebuild. I cracked the cylinder about 3yrs ago during some hard riding and haven't ridden it since. I am starting to get the fever again to get out and ride this summer. I sent ESR an email about a rebuild about a week ago but haven't heard back yet.....maybe I will call tomorrow. If I can't get ahold of them I will try BDT to see what they can do. I think I am gonna get some new a-arms, new swinger, new tires and wheels, new shocks, and maybe a nice 350cc big bore. I don't want to get beat by a four popper!

Welcome, R looks good as does the RC51 behind it!
If I'm correct LED does rebuilds and I would keep trying ESR.
You might want to ask others here about BDT before calling them as they may have some experience with them....

Welcome! Call ESR at 10:00am or 7:00pm pacific time. He will answer.

Absolutely stay away from the bdt clan. Plenty of more capable builders out there
-
BigDogTurd Racing, simply the best bullshitting lying pos out there.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everybody. I will be posting this build in the build section directly. I remember when I would take this thing to the track...all the young guys on the latest and greatest 450's would ask me "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING"...LOL! Now about the builders....I don't know of any builders around here that do good 2stroke work. I would rather support companies that support the "R". I am gonna be dumping way more money in this thing than I should but...It deserves to be seen and ridden...not broken down and stored in the garage. And one more thing....Is BDT really that bad?

Good eye on the RC51....another toy I shouldn't have...LOL I bought it brand new in 2004. Nicky Hayden edition....its got 2,398 miles.(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/567_4602_2017-04-18_5020.jpg)

welcome!
we have amazing forum sponsors that have been building real race winning bikes for decades. Call arlan at led or neil at c-leigh racing and explain your riding style and expectations, they will set you up right.

Awesome Bikes indeed, I used to "hate" them because of the sound.. Then I rode my buddies and think the sound is beautiful!
They hold their value as well and with those miles you have yourself a nice investment!

In my opinion yes they are that bad. Any business man that needs to make up fake user names to drum up business and threaten other members forum members is a lowlife in my book. Carlos was a lie from first time he showed up on atvriders ,but I get the feeling you know all this.
-
but I get the feeling you know all this.
all the "air quotes" and ...., ....., leads me to believe the same fred HA.
-
Yes. All of the lies and damage done to the R community should never be forgotten. Making up fake member names talking about fake problems and fake bad business dealings with other builders in the R community to build their business and damage others business is so low and dirty that you would have to be insane to close your eyes to it. If a person supports such low life scumbag dirty business antics it says a lot about them as well.

Welcome Don Ho! I am a newb myself, and am fixing up an R that I got this winter. I thought we might be close, but we are about 3 hours apart. I don't have a lot of input about the BDT drama. Like I said, I am a newb, and joined the other forum first, so I have purchased some things from BDT, and can say I was pleased for the most part. The airstriker I bought may have been a little over priced, but the custom ground 69mm OEM head gasket he sold me was a life saver for my engine (two other types of gaskets I tried leaked coolant). I am not aware of another place I can buy such a gasket. I hope my previous business with them, doesn't "say a lot about me", as I was unaware of, and have no knowledge of, any shady practices. Not a fanboy or defending anyone, I just don't have an opinion, due to my limited experience in the 250R field lately. I try to stay neutral in situations like these, until someone personally does me wrong. At any rate, welcome, and I feel sorry for your wallet!

So what your saying is as long as you don't get screwed ,Carlos is a great guy no matter what his past history is.You sound like the rest of the nutswingers.Pretty funny you live close to this guy that doesn't exist

Easy there, fred. What guy that doesn't exist? Are you saying Don Ho doesn't exist? I am confused. Please don't call me a nut swinger. I never said ANYBODY was a great guy. Where did I say that? I don't know Carlos, and don't know anything about him, his posts, or his shady practices that I am hearing about. I bought a carb and a gasket off of him, because it was recommended to me, on the other forum, that I happened to discover before this one. I wish I could apologize for that. Remember, I am new here, and there. I haven't read all the happenings of the past few years on these forums. Those things very well may be true about him, and he may be the biggest rip off a hole in the game. I am not disputing that because I don't know enough to have an opinion. I only posted on my experiences with the guy. That is all. Read my post again. Please don't call me names and infer that I am close to somebody that doesn't exist. I don't even know what you are getting at. I am a guy with a budget 250R, that I am trying to learn about, and vistit with other like minded people. I don't really care to participate in the drama.

I think fearless and maybe a couple others are under the impression that I may be associated with BDT in some way...LOL! I have never even purchased anything from BDT or ESR for that matter. Hell, I would give BDT, or ESR my business until they did me wrong. I am a member of the other forum as well, and I have been a member on this forum since 2013. I exist, my name is Josh, Don"HO"Daddy is a nickname I have had for years but that's a long story. I am just an average guy building a TRX250R. This introduction seems like its taken a turn for the worse...LMAO!

It did that when you said you were going to call BDT. The reason this site is here is cause that jerk started paying to advertise when we the members voted to Ban him from .net. He had been banned from ATV riders a couple weeks before. Be belittles members and only BDT is right. We won't forget all the wrong he did every member on here.

I see. I had no idea. A guy doesn't know, what what he doesn't know, though.

Jim stick around and watch the madness :)

Completely understandable. Your a perfect member Jimbo. The OP has been around for a couple years now and may have missed the whole episode also. We have nothing against any 250r brethren. Carlos does not even have an R.

I said you sound like the nutsingers ,if you are not there is no need to apologize or be offended by my comment. Almost 100 percent of the time persons coming on this forum that start off by mentioning BDT ,have been someone related to BDT and only here to advertise for them.Its pretty simple leave BDT off this forum and you will find everyone to be friendly and helpful

Jimbo's cool.

I understand fred. No harm no foul. It just concerned me that I was being aligned with something that I am not. Just remember, not every new guy that mentions or has had dealings with him, IS him, or is related to him. :semi-twins:
