Hi All. Newbie here to the site, and also to my 1988 trx 250r. A bit of history behind this ride. Purchased years ago by myself for a rider, ebay purchase, had limited knowledge of these particular rides, the ATC 250R I do have much experience with. Bought and after a good hard look decided to take it apart and start over. Well life, work, marriage, etc put the project on hold, but the time has come to get it rolling again.
When I first purchased, the engine needed a rebuild, compression was not what seller stated and to be honest did not bother me, I rebuild engines all the time and if I can't my engine builder is more then happy to do for me:beguiled: so off the frame it was. Stripped it down to a bare frame, cataloged what I did not have, and had, purchased items I wanted to upgrade too, and then it sat on the shelf for all these years.
Moving forward, here is the current status. Frame had a Pumashine gusset kit welded in it. I have purchased Lonestar +2 a arms with tie rods, +2 OR +4 Lonestar steering shaft, Lonestar anti vibe, Laeger swinger, rear hubs,anti lock nut, sprocket hub, the works in the back.
CURRENTLY have engine in the frame for mock up purposes, the engine I plan on running is being rebuilt currently, nothing out of ordinary, no ECR jug or anything, just one bore up on jug, OEM Honda piston, Boyesen Rad valve, LRD expansion chamber with silencer, basic stuff.
What I am doing currently is mock up to make sure I have everything for the project, after mock up is complete I will tear it down and send what needs to go to powder coating BUT i MIGHT PAINT the stuff as well, powder I have done for years, love it but also I hate it. Have time to figure that out.
Here is a couple pictures
