Check the classifieds here or try ebay.

Also www.Nacsracing.com

www.kandkatv.com

www.janssenracing.com

www.duncanracing.com

just a few for searches on graphics and parts

Good switch by the way. I got rid of my CRF hybrid in favor of a 330r and a 310r and wont look back.

yeah well your the only one that said good everyone else is like your dumb for trading your 400 for a 250r im just like whatever...but i wouldnt trade my R for anything it will smoke the 450's as im sure you know! but thanks for the website on the graphics do you know anything about the carbon fiber hood or the gas question i asked above?

[kustomfab2003]

You will have to do a compression check to know what fuel to run... anything over 165-175 and I would run 100 octane or better.

You can try www.feathercarbon.com for a hood. I don't like the looks of their scooped ones but their flat ones look good.

Try ebay as well for a carbon hood, but be ready to spend $150 or more...

for the same price you can go to feather carbon and get a hood and tank cover.

good luck,

Josh

you don't have to run 100 octane when the the compression is 165-175. I think that you have to run 100 when you get closer to 185-190. As i found out ont he macdizzy website it depends on the squish. I get around 200lbs and i can still run premium.

I would run amsoil dominator 50:1 with 93. For the hood, I would look on ebay for a used quad tech hood. Or call quad tech and see if they have any 250r hoods left over. I belive they stoped making them for the 250r, but they were the best out there.

if it runs good and was dialed in with the previous owner, i would nto change a thing...

if its not broke, dont fix it!!!

[250r4life]

ps... assuming it is dialed in right now, altering your gas and your ratio will alter your jetting, and thus will have to be dialed in again...

i repeat... if its not broke, dont fix it...

you can get a hood from quadtech still. i got mine about 2 months ago from but i had to wait for a shipment of them to come from england.

[ThorR88]

yeah it runs great with 94 withc i run 32 to 1 it runs great so i dont think i need to change anything on that and i will look around for the carbon fiber hood also how much did they charge you from quad tech?

[ThorR88]

oh yeah should i invest in getting a oversized radiator or is the stock one fine and do you guys know where i could get clear hosses that go from the radiator to the motor...sorry if these questions are dumb but this is the first time i have ever owned a 2 stroke!

[ThorR88]

anyone?

[spanky101]

for the 310 i would for sure go for a oversized radiator.... keep the beast cool...

[ThorR88]

anyone know where i can find a cheap one?

[spanky101]

nacs makes one i believe... fluidyne..... possibly alba....

[BLACKeR]

unless you live in arizona you dont need an aftermarket radiator. i know guys that have 330 with stock rads for the most part if your jetting is on you shouldnt have overheating issues with the 310. if your worried get an inline cooler. also i have heard of the clear rad. hoses cracking over time and just not holding up.

[ThorR88]

thanks a lot guys!
