[bigyellow4x4]

how often do you polish up your mill? i was thinking of doing that
but than i look at how dirty my bike is and stays and wonder how you keep that lookinh like it ready to go in? Is that a 14 tooth primary gear, what gears are you running

[mywifeknowseverythin]

Right on...

My Z has been down since last June at Florence....I figure I have until May to get it together:chuckle:

Once you polish it its not more than taking the the engine out once a year and rubbing it down with mothers polish
Yea I put a 14t on there last time down because my chain stretched past my ajust. and was easier to change the sprocket then cut a link:rolleyes: Most of the time its 13/39

[wild200x]

dune, how long could it posibly take to get this thing fixed??? you are slow!!(well at least till ya get it back). then we can show those yama ppl.

[ridetrikes250R]

well... if a shops doing it... they can take a while, cause its demand... right now everyone is bringin in their **** from them breakign it half way through season and wanting it fixed.... so if he got in the back of the pack it can take awhile.... also, it depends on all he is replacing..... and if he is having the cases repolished... i know where i worked a total bottom end turn around in mid season was 3-5 weeks from drop off date if it didnt have a set time.. or appointment..

Wow 3-5 Weeks Sucks...i could do the bottem end in a few hour's with all the parts...:chuckle:

[ridetrikes250R]

well yah... you could... but also... take and put 12 engines infront of that one engine, put 2 dozen and a half for cylinders needing porting... now put in demand the other stuff and you can see y.... i know my shop the cylinders took a good 4 hours cause we STILL dont use porting templates... and each porter has his own work....
Adam

[ridetrikes250R]

hope you guys are ready for me to show.... lol hope NOS 350X has some kleenox and his mommy on speed dial... lol time shine off the 65RWHP 330R lol

Heck if i had that i wouldnt be ridin no tri-z....Be Saber R...lay out any Punny 330.....I would still rather build A cr500 in a 250r thats crankin 85hp insted of wastin Tons o Cash on "Big bore kits".

AdamWOW you wouldnt have that problem here!! is there no competition there????

[ridetrikes250R]

no not really... theres alot of competition... but most of the shops are that way... down here.... i dont know call Dave moore up and see about his turn around (8 weeks) .... if you can do your own then do it... but if you wanna creditable builder do it then it takes... time...
Adam

[ridetrikes250R]

my big bore kit and all only cost me 1200 bucks off ebay that was, cylinder, piston, vforce,shearer pipe, carb and k.n air fitler
so its all cool... lol... beat me without going cr500
Adam

[dunerash]

dune, how long could it posibly take to get this thing fixed??? you are slow!!(well at least till ya get it back). then we can show those yama ppl.
Yea its taking awhile.. I'm not to worried, it'll be back soon enough:cool:

[ATCnut]

I am with Rash on this one. I would rather have a motor done right than a motor done now. When you rush a shop, you either have to pay huge $$$ to go to the front of the line, and/or you get the results of someone rushing and not doing as good of job as they could.

[ridetrikes250R]

EXACTLY!!!. and half the time it takes so logn is the prep work ... i know all the cases we ever split where always bead blastest, or dunk tanked... so that we were ABSOLUTELY sure when it was together it was done right and done well.... Adam

[dunerash]

I've had Lots of engines built over the years.. The one thing you have to have, if you cant do the work yourself, is patience.. I got the call and mine is done on time no problem:headbang: I'll pick it up this weekend and throw it in the rest is ready for them YamahahahaDawgs...:lmao: :lala:

I really dont have any idea.. We've never put it on a dyno. I dont have to break in the top end(nikilsil) and the compression gauge said 240# when we checked it over the weekend. With the pipe and carb should be right around stock:shrug: :D

[Chadster200x]

holy cow thats a nice freakin trike. how much did the hole project come out to looks like it would be over a few grand, way over.

[dunerash]

Digging up an old thread..:lmao: Heres to all the guys I've been watching building some awesome looking 250r's in the past year or two. They start to look like this.. :doh: I havent really had to do anything major( new swinger) to it since I built it. Today I got it out , blew the dust off and wiped it down. Hope it starts I havent fired it since our last ride in Sept. Were headed out next week for Winchesterbay for our annual beach cleanup. Everyones welcome and were giving away lots of cool stuff from the sponsers.:thumbsup:
