Yeah, people throw the 70hp number out there like its no big deal.  That is a hard number to hit, I am sure that thing is a blast to ride with those numbers.  Beat up on stuff that never saw it coming!!!!!

I would check you new torque wrench.  22lbs is about as tight as you can get it left handed with a normal wrench.

So JamieG45 came over today for the first ride and at the end of the day it went well.  Started with a 185 main dgh center and 55 pilot.  Not so impressive on the first couple of hits in the road.  After a few passes we changed to a 190 main dgh raised one clip and 52 pilot.  Engine started to come to life with this set up.  I think a 192 main is were its at but I did not have one and the neighbors were starting to run out of patience !!!!! We advanced the timing +4 on the cr500 ign also wich made a huge improvement. It still seems slower than my pro-x 370 but not by much {that had 10 years of dialing} but it is close.  It wants way more jet than my pro-x wich tells me it should be making more power.  I think with a little more tuning and more time on the motor to loosen it up it should be a strong runner.  It is not a 70hp motor the way it sits, but time will tell and I will report back as progress is made.

I am not sure how this set up performs yet, as I have not ridden it yet. Only fired it up and ran it through 3 heat cycles.  I will give a full ride report once someone comes over to ride it that I trust or I am well enough to ride it on my own.  

I have owned this 250r since 01 and over the years it has had many combinations.  I hope it stays like this for a while because I think it should be a great all around combo.

I thank everyone for the compliments and rss396 for all his help.

Jim

Jim I thought I remember the adapter being the same as esr's
I know they are different between cr500 and cr250 but you just normally run a small ring to adapt the larger recess of the cr250 to the cr500. But I just might be wrong on that, do you still have both adapter plates?

Good to see you around you have not posted in awhile, glad you got the halo off!

You are correct I had to read this post from the beginning the adaptor plate is the same

Thank god that halo is off I dont think I could have handled it much longer !!!!!

That is an old picture with a cr 250 adapter from BTD. They sent me a new adaptor for the cr 500 ign but I dont have a picture of it. to much pain meds and lack of concentration. The cr 500 adaptor is very similar.

Here are the pictures of the CR 500 ign with lights. It mounts in the stock location with the OEM rubber holders and all wires are used other than the tach input. Engine is new to me so I cant compare how it starts but there is no kickback even when
it back fires out the exhaust. Engine sounds very crisp and will idle forever if you let it. As you can see I am still in a neck
brace due to a bad crash in April and have not ridden it yet but I will give a ride report as soon as possible.

I want to thank RSSS396 for all of his help, Jim
