New R

[86-250Rnut]

Hey guys,
This sat. im going to be bringin a 86 honda 250R home. Im paying 3200 for it and it has 11k invested. And i think this guy is a lil full of *****. he tells me it can go 110-115 and has about 60RWHP. i have ridden it once and i can belive that it has 60hp. but i had it in 6th going down a long straight road"uphill and about half-way craked open", and ill be the first to say i was haulin.:D i passed a 400 ex like he was in 1st gear, but i dont think i was going 100 even. so it makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about. but i do know he spend about 11k in it, i have seen all of the papers. So what do you guys think, is he a lier?.... or dont i know how to guess my speed.

"any 1 know the stock hp and top speed of an 86 R?"

[250-R-250]

We would need to have a motor mods list gearing ratio's? Some one on here has a formula to figure it out though?

[TheIceMan]

stock hp- aprox 38
stock mph -66-70 mph (with average weight rider)

[86-250Rnut]

Aw man.
i couldnt tell you the gear ratios, i know there really really tall though. when i hit 6th it just kept going and going. and i know he has it all geared for top end stuff. i know its got a dp pipe some kind of reeds its ported and polished and i think its got a shaved head. but thats really all i know till i got pick it up this weekend.
thankyou,
mitch

<ohh i weigh 135>

dg pipe**

[86-250Rnut]

But am i getting a good buy for 3200? its in really good condition and runs perfect. but the only thing i dont like is that he mixes the gas 100:1:eek: :ermm: its 100% synthetic racing oil. it amazes me that it hasnet blowen yet. do you think has done any damage?????

[baker250r]

might have, might not... where in WI are u?

[86-250Rnut]

Im from burlington wisc. where r u from?



Whats faster a pimped out 250R or a piped raptor?:blah:

[250-R-250]

How pimped? A 350 would whoop it

[86-250Rnut]

pimped to the gills pimped. but with no bore kits just the 250"piped,geared,ported,race fuel,and more" and what 350? like a banshee? could a shee beat the R?

[baseballplaya23]

hes talkin about like a 350PV not a shee or anything. a 350 pv will walk all over alot of stuff. especially just a raper with a pipe.

[baker250r]

im brom the black river falls area... and yes, ive had both. hopped up raptor, and now i got ym preaty hopped up R. the raptor was a powerful machine.... but my R will take the raptor in everything but a reverse drag race.

[86-250Rnut]

Glad to hear that. me and a friend were fighting about that. and another ? what the heck is a 350PV????

[baker250r]

its a big bore kit for the 250r. and a "PV" is wut they call a powervalve. all the dirtbikes come with them stock. but the 250r's never had them. its just a little valve that sits on top of ur exhaust valve, and it open's up in the higher RPM's to get u better top end power. and the 350 is CC's... preaty much a big big cylinder on your R. it comes as a whole new cylinder.... costs around 2 grand just for the cylinder and piston kit. then u gotta get a bigger carb.... get your case halves machined and all that good stuff. they are wicked powerfull motors, but I think they are usually used for drag racing. Ive never seen one raced MX.... dont get me wrong, some people might. but i use a 265.... revs alot quicker... so therefore accelerates faster.

[300ex_ryda]

i had a 250R and got rid of it because i almost killed myself "i'm 15 years old and 130lbs" and nearly got my self killed none the less it was the fastest bike i ever rode and now i have a 300ex and i feel more controllerable over it and i feel like i can whip it around more and do more.RIP 250R.

[86-250Rnut]

i can relate to you im 15 and 135, i feel safe on it becase it has good handling. but when you goose it then i get scared. and you should have gotten the 400 ex or the 450. i had problems with my 300 and *****.

whats better,,,??? a stroker kit or a 310 big bore? and does the 310 big bore come with the piston? and home much do they cost? like 800 to 1200? and if you buy a stroker kit do you have to run race fuel?

[baker250r]

stroker kits, u gotta send out your crank to get stroked. usually costs around 300-400 bucks. a 310 kit with non PV will run ya about 1200 i think. ad a PV and ur around 1800. any application u run, u wont have to run race gas, unless u get the compression up above 180psi.

[86-250Rnut]

how do you test the psi in your quad?:confused:

[baker250r]

go to the auto parts store and get a compression tester. then u screw that in where ur spark plug goes, and kick it over a bunch of times with the throttle wide open. and it will read it for u

[86-250Rnut]

how much would that set me back in $? and whats the min compression reading you can have if you would want to burn racing fuel?

[baker250r]

i dont think they are more than 20 or 30 bucks.... but i havent priced them out either. minimum race gas is 180-190

[86-250Rnut]

what happens if you burn race fuel if your compression is lower then 180?

Then you get no advantage at all your just throwing away money.

[baker250r]

nice.... now we all gotta meet up at a track er somethin and ride.... 2 stroke power in force

[baker250r]

any pics of the beast?

[86-250Rnut]

By monday ill make a new thread and show you it.ill call it my new R pics or summin

[get_up_mark]

on the compression test do you run the bike with the gas turned off to get the fuel out the lines. ? you do not want to flood. iv done this with a car and i disconnected the fuel pump fuel. and yes WOT for accurate results.

[baker250r]

i guess ive always done the compression test on 4wheelers with the gas on. ive never had trouble with floodin it. if u wanted to, u could probly just take the tester out afterwards and kick it a few times open to get the excess fuel out... blow it out the top.
