A 250R that needs some lovin'

[Pappy]

A customer dropped of his 250R in hopes we could breathe some new life into it.

[Pappy]

This R will under go a 100% rebuild

[Pappy]

New arms, shocks, swing arm, fenders , hood....and the list goes on

[Pappy]

A new 310 will replace the stock engine along with a new exhaust

[Pappy]

Every component will be rebuilt to new, powdercoated and or redone to better then original

[Pappy]

New rims are tires will replace what is installed now. I will update as progress is made

[ny300exrider]

can't wait to see this project. i love the ground up rebuild threads that you do. is it going to be a mx build or trail/xc style build?

[RUTHLESS]

WHAT IS THE BUDGET???

WHO IS SELLING THESE USED R PARTS???

[Pappy]

This is for the main man of our local Honda dealership. He has always wanted a kickazz R and no he will have one. I am not sure on his budget, I know he already has most of the new parts and I believe this will be a trail quad.


I can sell his parts for anyone thats interested.

[wilkin250r]

Any word on the fate of the motor? I've got two dead 86 motors, I could always use another :)

[Pappy]

Just from looking at it in the frame, it needs a new left hand center case, and someone welded the shifter to the shaft:p It feels like it has good compression, but IMO needs a complete rebuild

[RUTHLESS]

ANY UPDATES????

[Pappy]

It is completely torn down. The pivot bolt is seized so I will have to break out the plasma cutter. The lower left bumper mount is smashed and I will have to cut it off and rebuild it.

Long list of small parts needed for rebuild, but thats usual with a 250R

[TheFontMaster]

So whats the word on this beast Ken, you know how I love them 250r's:cool:

[Pappy]

Ive started prepping alot of the parts, but have not repairedd the stuff thats broken yet. I am stopping by to see the owner this morning to hand him a parts list so as soon as he says go for it, I will start the project.

[wilkin250r]

We expect full and detailed step-by-step of the progress.

No problem.

As soon as I can catch a break I will start the repair work and then the pc work

[Pappy]

I cut the pivot bolt out tonight....now I have to try and get it out of the rear engine mount:p


Tackled the problem with the frame:eek2:

[Pappy]

I would say it was smashed just a little:p

[Pappy]

Cut the tweaked bumper mount off the frame

[Pappy]

Worked it back to a solid and square section

[Pappy]

Fabricated a new piece and welded it on.

[400exMO]

Wow, is the frame still fine. I love rebuilt R's can't wait to see it finished and deffinentely keep us updated.

Not only did you fix the problem, but you have improved the original design IMO. Now it looks like the OEM side is the weak point.

[JDiablo]

I love chop and cutting rebuilds :devil:

[Pappy]

Almost done with the small stuff

[Pappy]

Turned the nasty axle into something that should better the overall appearence of the quad

Sure do love them, they supply you with burns from welders, cut's from grinders and a couple headaches lol

[Pappy]

frame is completed

[Pappy]

Sparkle Red

[Pappy]

Cool color, but I like it better on a round tube frame

[RUTHLESS]

Pappy WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE
FOR YOU TO GIVE US A PRICE BREAKDOWN
ON HOW MUCH THIS COMPLETE REBUILD COST
IT COULD BE A GOOD PLATFORM TO SHOW
WHAT YOU WOULD CHARGE TO DO A SIMILIAR
REBUILD ON ANOTHER CUSTOMERS R
THANKS

[Pappy]

Roughly $500 for all the pc work, and $500 for tear down and reassembly. Parts prices vary depending on whats needed, and what brands are requested etc.

[wilkin250r]

If memory serves, the owner is supplying most of the new parts, right? A complete rundown on costs would be a bit misleading...

[Pappy]

Here is the list from Kevin to me on what parts are needed....lol

[Pappy]

This is a common list when rebuild a R

[RUTHLESS]

ANY PICS OR UPDATES?

[Pappy]

no updates, just waiting on parts etc

[440bigborekit]

[Pappy]

Waiting on parts.
