250r need help

[no161can]

I was racing and my petcock messed up and starved my motor. I burnt my rings. I just put a new piston and rings in my 265r. I had it honed out also. Now I have no power. It idles fine but bogs down when I try to get on it. What to do.

clean your carb, maybe somethings clogged there... check compression since its so easy... that could tell you if your new piston/rings are workin! just shootin u some ideas

[2004exrider]

im with him on that, check the compression. Maybe it was out of round enough that you cant just hone it?

I've cleaned the carb and played with the jetting alittle. I put a little different piston in it. would it change the jetting alot. I put a wisco .80 prolite piston in it. I'll check the comperssion today. thanks

my 250x did that i spend 3 weeks trying to figure the problem
check your carb make sure the float isnt stick what worked for mine was i rebuilt my carb with a kit from ebay and now it runs great

I've only got 75lbs of comperssion. I know thats low. What is the normal comperssion for a 265.

[RiderTRX400ex]

should be at least 105 im thinking?

[deathman53]

105?????? more like 170 atleast

where is a good place to buy a 265 sleeve. I don't want to go any bigger unless I go to a 310. reliability factor. thanks

[deathman53]

I don't think a 265 sleave is sold, you might be able to resleave it a 295 sleeve and not bore to 72mm, but 68mm. Or resleeve to a stock bore and bore it to 60 over, giving you 2 more bores, as the power difference isn't that big between a 60 over and 80 over, but the cost factor is, $150 vs $300-400.

can I bore my to a 295 and it still be reliable. Also what over is a 295.
