Selling my spare 1988 TRX 250R chrome clutch cover. Cover has been chromed but not 100% perfect. Previous owner ran in desert and scuffed a bit. Water pump has less than a year that I replaced seals and bearing and water pump cover is polished. This will work any year atc or trx 250r, but if you use on 85 or 86 atc or trx collar on kickstart shaft will have to be removed. Cover is complete and ready to use.
Selling $160 shipped paypal only.

Carburetor, Intake, and Exhaust / What is a good carb for a moderately built 250R

« on: June 04, 2016, 05:59:15 PM »

38 mm Air stryker very good carb for top end dune riding but only issue with them is installing it so don't know if you want to tackle that small problem. 38MM is not a bolt on it will cause a bit of a headache at first, but you would have to mill intake bell don't have to but recommended leave intake boot out in sun to make plyable maybe buy a reed spacer + gaskets to get proper angle to fit carb.
Stock style Honda CR 500 PJ carb also good but not as good as air stryker but you may have same issues all apps differ. So it all depends what you want to do what issues you want to tackle and what you don't want too. Stock PJ carb very good but will not give you top performance of big HP as others but they are reliable and parts readily available.

Suspension and Chassis / Drive sprocket removal

« on: March 30, 2016, 04:24:45 PM »

I got a new extended axle for my 85 ATC.  I need to use the stock drive sprocket from the original but I cannot seem to get it to come off.  I have been heating it up, pouring the PB blaster to it and hitting it with a pipe and hammer to try and knock it back to get the split ring out of the way with no results.  Is there a secret to get this off or do I just need to take it to a machine shop and have it pressed off?
Thanks

More than likely that axle has been exposed severely to the elements and that is why it is such a bear to come off! Now to remove axle bolt off it have drive chain still on and brake assembly on as well. Place atc on driveway gutter or use a 4x4 block of wood on flat piece of concrete with wood wedged between tire and concrete. Have a friend sit on biotic with bike in gear and have friend press down hard on rear brakes. And get the 2 biggest crescent wrenches you can and place on biggest nut on lock and push down it should come loose. Once loose you will have to have axle pressed off if you had that much issue loosening axle I'm sure a ton of water/moisture got in there. Hope this helps you.

We picked this 86 up 2 years ago from the 2nd owner. It was last tagged in 05 & just sat in a garage covered in sand & years of grime. Doing a basic stock rebuild & left all the original coatings in tact because they were in good shape & I want this to be a rider & not a blingin dune bike like mine. It's a pain to keep everything shiny. The engine, swingarm & a-arms have been off this bike before, other than that I'm the first one to ever completely tear it apart & turn it into a lifesize exploded view. It's a nice survivor:

Nice find and nice build!!!

Suspension and Chassis / Opinions on Elka stage 3 package with JD arms

« on: February 25, 2016, 12:06:00 PM »

Hey everybody, im currently running +2 lonestar std arms, works shocks with rezzies (practically brand new), and a stock rear stock (unsure of history). I ride alot of different terrains mostly fast paced, 60% desert  , 30% MX, and 10% woods(wide trails). Im sitting right at 47" with this setup with 3/2 rims. Id like to order some JD Performance +3 arms to get me close to 50" to match my rear. Since I see it is only $100 more to upgrade to long shock arms, I figured i may as well upgrade. Im currently happy with my works but if im going to have to send them out for a revalve i figured itd be better to just get some long shocks that have more adjustability. I am however not happy with the rear shock, it bottoms on any big hit on the track or in the desert.

So I see the Elka stage 3 package on many websites and it looks like a good deal for getting front and rear shocks for $999.99
Ive read reviews of people either loving or hating elka. Im aware there are better shocks out there but im not a racer just looking to go out and have fun but also get good performance. I wanted to see what everybody thought before i start ordering stuff.

I appreciate the advice

Just from my experience ordering directly from Elka, but it does not matter who you order from or manufacturer there will always be room for improvement when ordering shocks!
Here is my example on both my 06 trx 450R and my 86 trx 250r i ordered directly from Elka i answered specific questions that were asked to custom tune shocks. I receive them and install them and yes better than stock but were still a bit too hard on both 250r and 450r.
Now I have to ship back to canada and mind you they have to clear customs it was 3 weeks up and 3 weeks to come back to get them just right to my dune preferences! Get them back again and still not right on 450R shipped them back 3 weeks up and 3 weeks down again, but 250R dune editions were ok or bearable.
I did end up finding someone here in Chandler Az who fixed issues with both my shocks years later and are night and day difference compared to when I received them first or second time.
But moral of story in my situation was  this if i choose to buy ANY shock does not matter who makes them and they offer to build to your specs and for some reason shocks are not to your liking you will have down time because you have to ship out of state and manufacturer has to tear them down and that is a few days as well.
So my suggestion to you is buy shocks of your liking close to home and used. And have a reputable shock company to your liking and who is close as well to your home rebuild to your specs or concerns. This way if you have any issues you will have a few days of downtime compared to weeks of downtime, and you will also save big $$$$ on buying good used rebuildable shocks and of course save $$$ on shipping charges to and from!
This is my opinion and hope this helps you out. Not trashing any one manufacturer just stating my down times when have to ship my shocks out to be done right!

best way I can tell 86 are not rebuildable and 87's removal of clips and they are rebuildable.
