So, my bike has been sitting in pieces for the last 2 years because of life. I took the motor apart because it needed the top end freshened up and I wanted to fix the cases, cyro the tranny, etc. Just never got it done. So, 2 weeks ago I bought my 16 year old son his first 250r and now I need to quit screwing around and finish my bike so we can ride. My question for everyone is based on experience what kind of motor build w/pipe would you guys recommend for a do it all bike. We will be trail riding, visiting Silver Lake sand dunes, and if he wants we might hit up a mx track or look for some XC stuff. I have decided against using my old ported stock cylinder because it looks like it was a learning tool for someone and I need to buy a pipe anyways, so in my mind I might as well get a bb pipe!!! I already have a 38mm carb, boyseen rad valve and a 01 CR ignition. I have actually thought about seeing if Eddie Sanders is going to offer the same deal he had last year with a set of cases and one of his 363 cylinders in a motor builders package but wondered if that would be too much for the woods? I have also thought about seeing if I could swing for a CPI sphinx cylinder in the 330cc range. I know this would probably be the most expensive route. Let me know what you guys think.
