What did you do with your TRX 250R today?

[Saul76]

A thread to talk about what you did with your TRX today, tomorrow - whenever!

Today I plugged a hole in my rear tire (4 ply Razr) - made a small adjustment to the Elka's and did some riding - then came home and cleaned the bike up.

Got some video.

Now - what did YOU do with your TRX today?!

[atv fan 28]

I know that feeling!! I brought mine home - rode it around the yard for 5 minutes and yanked the engine (stuck in gear, busted tranny)

It was a month before I got it all back together and running - now I don't wanna stop. Rain or shine.

You'll enjoy it more when it's fixed. Good luck!!

[dtowndiesel]

just kissed mine goodnight

[muddymess]

It got shoved out into the driveway so I could start cleaning out the garage in preparation for the off season tear down.

[1promodfan]

I stared at the back end that missing a swing arm.........still trying to get my hands on a longer one. I have one that I'm looking at and hopefully I'll have my hands on it soon.

[pdxbigfoot]

Went downstairs to the shop and just looked at mine and Mcboomports.
I also looked at the new project that MC, Leatherface and I have started.
The ultimate "mad max", "getto fabulous" 250R ever. The 3 of us last night were sitting in the garage B.S.'n and it dawned on us...lets grab every part that the 3 of us have and piece a "loner", "buddy" bike together.
We are only short a few parts and im thinking about doing a full build thread.
Its not going to be pretty but will be a safe, fun "beater" and will turn heads for sure.

Back to what have i done with mt TRX...im crazy!!!! and there isnt a waking moment when im not brainstorming my new build. Alot of people around me must get sick of all the foreign jibberish i spout out at a constant flow.
250R this and 250R that all day long, everyday.
Im going to do everything i can to make the R live forever.

[troybilt]

I haven't ridden mine since March, but look at it everyday (cheers)and think of new things for it.... however, I'm currently leaning towards a complete Resto. returning it back to 100% orig pipe and all. Its in rare near-perfect condition including all of the original parts.

I just went to the dark side and bought my first 4-poker, 2006 trx450r, that I plan to do a full build up on, frame up. I wanted to see first hand what the fuss was all about. I was inspired to do a full build up and my 250R was in too good of shape to tear down and change colors etc... I found a cheap 450 and jumped on it.

I just sold my RZR to fund my projects, so more to come hopefully.

We need some more "full build" theads to peruse this winter, so get on it stat. :D

[86 Quad R]

ha ha ha! i just looked at mine as i walked past while working on a customers outboard..... saying/thinking to myself. as soon as atv fan 28 gets his engine back we'll get to go riding again soon. :) she looks all sad juss sitting there all prepped en no place to go. :ermm: up till last weekend it had been a year since she's been riden. :eek:

[88redrocket]

I rode mine today for the first time in 2 months because i broke my wrist and had a screw put in it. Then i started looking at my studded tires and thought to myself " it wont be long".

[ehorst33]

i drank a few beers while putting my swingarm back on and worked on adjusting my balljoints, I havent rode it since may, I bought it rode it for a month and decided to do a rebuild

[Honda 250r 001]

well after the last race i took the a arms off hopeing for the a arms to get fixed, i send them off, they didnt get fixed, he send them back, cost me 60 bucks.

lets see here i bought a set of tcs long travel front shocks.

I installed a eibach rebuild/revalve/resprung rear shock.

Im getting to installing a new seat foam and seat cover.

I set up the race sag on the rear and compresion on the rear, rebound is not yet adjusted.

I dropped my main from 178-175 to clean up the top end.

changed the needle to the middle clip

i havnt rode mine since before school started and its about to kill me.

[86Rrider]

Rode mine around the track I built around the outside of my hay field on Sunday. First time I rode it since July 5th! Had to try out the new jump I put on the track.

Now I am going over all the maintenance type things I need to do, check, repair on it before I head to Coal Creek OHV with my riding group in 3 weeks.

[rigger]

Last night I took my tank off to seal the petcock up. I was getting tired of seeing that 9 dollar a gallon race gas leak out a drop at a time.

Planning on taking her to the woods this weekend to play with jetting. Try and get it dialed in. It will be the first time she is leaving the garage and going to the trails. :D

[Saul76]

I was having trouble getting mine to 'find' neutral while the engine was running. Turn it off and you could click into neutral just fine.

Made some adjustments to the clutch cable and it seems perfect for now.

Started it up and heard some rattling noise - one of the bolts securing the toolbox to the frame was loose - and thank god it was cause while back there tightening it up I noticed the axle nut had come loose (anyone else think the stock axle nut sucks? I need an anti fade for sure) So I tightened the axle nut up too and wen't for a fun ride.

i got a cure for that. first back the nut all the way out and degrease everthing good. apply some rtv silocone there and put everything back as it should be and then torque the jamb nut solid, allow to set till cured. i avent had any issues. :cool:

[Saul76]

Good tip. Will have to try that.

[atv fan 28]

once again i just looked out the window at it and wished i had my motor back. the builder is just waiting on the piston to come so he can bore my cylinder! by this time next week its going to be on like donkey kong! LOL

[kookennay]

i walked by one and it made me think about calling to see if the motor was done for my other one.

[Hutchracer]

I started to reassemble it after getting it back from the powdercoater. I got the A-arms reassembled and installed. Also dropped of the cylinder off with my motor guy to have the edges smoothed out from the previous owners motor builder ported it and forgot to get some of the ports cleaned up. Lucky I saw that before I broke any rings.

[Saul76]

Well - my new front brake pads arrived today so I set off to install them.

Decided this would be a great time to take apart the caliper and fully clean it up.

Took the caliper apart and the amount of crude and corrosion under the piston seals was shocking. :eek2:

Cleaned it all out pretty spotless (lightly played the flame of a propane torch in there - corrosion turned to dust pretty quick, Scrapped it away with a pick after)

Replaced the seals, put pistons back in, cleaned and greased slider pins and put on new pads.

Installed calipers on bike and started to bleed em, and bleed em, and bleed em, and bleed em, and bleed em ....

I just can NOT get all of the air out. LOL! I've tied the lever tight to the handle for tonight so hopefully it'll gravity bleed some more air out over night.

The brakes lock up the tires but if you really crank on the tires by hand (I have the tires off the ground a few inches) you can still slightly turn them.

Also, my lever doesn't have a LOT of pressure on it - you can still fully pull it in to touch the hand grip. On my 300R trike you couldn't pull the lever all the way into the grip like this - not having working brakes on the TRX before I dunno what the lever action is supposed to be like on these? I would imagine the brake lever should only travel about halfway toward the grip before full lock right?

Next week I gotta bleed the rear brake when the new back pads arrive - woopdeeedooo! :rolleyes:

I had the same problem when I installed stainless brakelines. Have you thought about buying a vacuum brake bleeder from Car Quest or something? They are like 25 bucks and worth every penny.

Seems like my next logical step my friend. Still peeves me that I can't bleed these brakes 'normally' .

Now that you've used a vacuum bleeder and have your brakes FULLY bled - how much does your brake handle travel 'in' towards the bars?

[86 Quad R]

i'm guessing you dont put much stock into my bleeding method. :huh you'd had full brakes 10 minutes into it if you did. :D to each his own...... :rolleyes:

Today after work I got my Roll Design 250R washed and started getting it ready for the race on Sunday. I also started working on the Laeger project I picked up. Got the engine out of that one.

[red88r]

Got woken up this morning by a annoying Banshee my cousin just bought. He thought it was fast and had alot done to it till I beat him with my 88 CT330R. Now he does'nt think it's so great. Told him he should have bought a R and then he'd have sumthing. lol

[D Bergstrom]

I look at mine everyday when I walk by it in the garage. I have not ridden it in about 4 months. I have thought about selling it, but I know in the current economy I would not get jack for it. Guess I will just keep it!

bleeding the rear brakes is not that difficult but OMG the fronts always causeing me trouble.

[01shee]

Built a stand and put the quad up on it and realized every bushing is out in the front end. Lower ball joints are gone too. I thought things were getting a little clanky up front.

[rigger]

I tried to seal up my petcock a little while ago. We shall see if she still leaks this weekend.

Put a lot of red locktite on my axle nut, maybe it will hold this time so I do not have to spend money on an anti fade.

And drank a few beers while thinking of what all I would like to do the R next and all the stuff I would like to do to my wife's 400EX.

[Saul76]

Got the rear brakes bled. They feel pretty good. Probably still some air in there. Will bleed them again after another rough ride to jar any remaining air bubbles loose.

[88redrocket]

Went riding today on my friends track for the first time since i got hurt. I took it easy somewhat, i dont need another $2500 hospital bill right now. Then i got home and decided to make a little video of it. I threw some clips in of my crazy friends that i had as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rZrbcnfo_k

[265 sleeper]

Well went work on a customers bike today. After finishing up I looked over a seen my r lookin at me wanting to be put back together and ridin the sh*t out of. Been a year seens she been ridin last. the whole front is all polished up besides the hubs their billet levers are polished. I'm waiting on some machine work to be done to my head. Had to get a spacer plate to be machined to get my deck height where I want it. Then after that its to get my cylinder bored and a new piston. Bottom is completly put together has a new hot rods +4 crank with a bottom end port job as well as Neils clutch mod can't wait in like 3 weeks I should have her running again stronger than before can't wait to eat some yzf 450 . Anyone with a cr style piston that's 67.50 over pm me

[Conant19]

took my tt set up off my 450 slammed the R and got 3rd in the pro class on a local short track. handles ten times better then my 450

[jcs003]

checked the status of my new top end. USPS said they were notified and it hasnt necessarily shipped yet. impatience is killing me.:devil:

[troybilt]

Getting ready to install my new stator, so I can start the darn thing. Can't wait to hear that motor come to life.

...after jury duty though... my damn luck.

[kookennay]

Ordered some new bushings for my a arms from atvbushings.com, pretty excited about it.

[pdxbigfoot]

I pulled off my pipe and cleaned off the surface rust, made a different intake tube bracket, made a totally different silencer mounting system and cleaned her up.
Tonight getting the pipe back on and making some different brackets for my IMS heel guards.

[pdxbigfoot]

MMMMMM pretty pipe.

[pdxbigfoot]

Im a TRX tweaker!!!!

[pdxbigfoot]

Took awhile and this is a tough pipe to not only fit but to get to seal.
The header is a 2 piece and seals great. The belly of the pipe at the "adjustable" part is the hard one to get to stop blow by.
I cleaned everything really well and got out the rubber mallet and did some "adjusting" of my own.
I really hope this is the last time i have to do this as its a royal pain!!!!
The silencer juncture also had some blow by and i addressed that with a good old billet clamp and some silicone tube.
We shall see what happens.....ill keep ya all posted.

[pdxbigfoot]

around the frame

[pdxbigfoot]

Plus a new mounting bracket and black carbon clamps

[red88r]

Well I was just going to pull the Denton swingarm off my 87 and put it on my 88 for now since it's a 88-89 style swingarm. But I ended up stripping my 87 to the bare frame after I couldn't get the pivot bolt out. So I guess I'll be changing the frame sooner than I thought. Only problem is alot of my parts were gonna come off my 88 when I rebuild that one and put them on my 87. If I tear my 88 apart now and don't finish it I'm gonna have a big fricken mess in my garage. So many projects and so little time.

[jcs003]

got my cylinder.

[Mxjunkie]

that cylinder is sweeeeeeeeeeet


I opened a bunch of parts I got off this wonderful site, Thanks guys I appreciate it!!


Fit my nerf bars on now I'm pondering on which foot pegs work with dg alloy nerf bars besides the stockers because stock foot pegs just plain *** suck.. getting ready to tear my 38mm carb apart to prepare for a esr trx6 thats coming... Ohhh im very excited :D

[redrider419]

Changed out my clutch today. Got a little messy...noticed oil pan had hole in it after about half the oil leaked out.

[ridered250R]

took a fat boy silencer to the powder coat for some flat black heat resistance coating, went through the whole bike and installed cotter pins.....what a pain, tightened down the cylinder and the head gasket.....build is close to being complete, just a couple time consuming tasks to go. Sorry my build thread has been lacking, im terrible at posting the pics, always so small..... just take my word, it is looking great!

[265 sleeper]

Well went knock some spider webs and dust off her today

[machwon]

Packaged up the radiator and shipping it out. Mines being parted out...

[265 sleeper]

Well here some polished parts for the front of the bike

[380r]

[265 sleeper]

Well got my head and spacer plate back this is what the head looks like so pretty

That head must be for a stroker crank.

[pdxbigfoot]

Steering stabilizer mounting bracket.
Cut, sanded and polished by hand. This allows you to mount your steering stabilizer under the tank and out of the way.

[pdxbigfoot]

Stocker unfortunately

[265 sleeper]

still looks nice i like the bracket

[86 Quad R]

put some new shoes all the way around, new rear brake caliper, new rear bearings, complete clutch kit and checked entire quad for loose or missing bolts and service....... afterwards i went and rode the stink out of it. :cool:

[SilverLake250R]

Bought 2 IMS Roll brake rezzy covers - billet black for mine. Didn't even know they made those!

[jcs003]

put the motor back in after rebuild and started er up. the "ringing' sound is gone. the culprit was definitly the cracked sleeve.

[steeveen]

Today i tried taking off my swingarm but the bolt wouldnt budge. Hopefully i can get it off by this weekend. Got the rest of the bike disassembled and ready for a rebuild.

I think thats what ima have to do since the thread is already messed up but i have no idea where to cut it without cutting the motor mount.

[pdxbigfoot]

I made a new mounting bracket for the Polaris coolant reservoir.
Same basic design i had before but out of thinner material with new spacers.
The spacers were cut out of 1" solid stock and i polished the heck out of them.
A much better, cleaner system.
Intake tomorrow....

Jason, you just work way to hard on this stuff (as usual).

[jcs003]

pdxbigfoot: i really appreciate the time. money and effort you put into your 250r. i would be scared to wreck it though.lol. great job!!!

The compliments guys.
I have O.C.D and it shows on my quad.

[kookennay]

i rode then had to weld up a crack, changed out some bolts and gave it a good cleaning.

[redrider419]

did lots today, relocated overflow...Thanks Jason for the idea!

Easier to install airbox eliminator..thanks Lance for showing me this!

[redrider419]

and lastly...took a night shot

[mcboomport]

Sweeett!!!!! Good job Bryan!

[SilverLake250R]

Put on a Roll shifter and a Baldwin wire guide. Now to find a Roll brake lever... Tomorrow I hope to take the rear end off, send the no-link shock to Axis for a rebuild, and send the Lobo swingarm and Roll +3's to the powdercoater. Then finally I can make it wide! Never had a wide wheeler before. Hopefully it will be all back together by the end of July.

[8686]

Got my Walsh frame in the mail today.

Lol. I'll def get some pics up. It's not a brand new frame. It's a 2001 Walsh frame that I sent to them to have checked over and to have them put it back for a 250R engine. I have only opened the top of the box and it looks pretty damn sweet. I'm excited to get it cleaned up and put together. Should be pretty sick.

[pdxbigfoot]

Here's what I did today.....
I have always been a fan of the stock 86/87 louvered lower nose scoop.
So tonight while digging through a tupperware full of old parts I came across 2 of the nose scoops (for lack of a better term).
I have always wanted to make one of these fit onto my Fullbore's so after awhile of starring and cutting I came up with this........

I removed most of the upper part of the scoop and the bottom mounts.
From there I made a simple aluminum bracket and bolted it to what was left of the scoop after the hack job.

This did require to drill 4 bolt holes in the Fullbore hood but I have already put them under the knife doing the hood pins so I didnt hesitate to drill.
You would really have to look for the mounting location and with the M-Tech hood on you will never see it.

It rest's a little farther up and back but I like the overall look with it having the same angle as the M-Tech hood.

Next is a great sand job and some Fusion paint. Ill post up the final pics tomorrow night.

You're talking about the black plastic piece right? Sand it and use a heat gun, it will look like new when you're finished.... just and idea.

Got any pics further away to see how it looks with the whole bike. Its a great idea.

[pdxbigfoot]

Yes....the plastic louver nose piece is what im looking for.I was going to ask you if you had any tricks to make this look better.
What grit should I sand to??
I will get some finished pics up later and show the final mounting process.

Looks like you started sanding it already... probably to paint?? ...I start with 220 and go up to 400 sometimes 600, but 400 will get you in the ball park. I haven't personally tried the heat gun technique as I don't have a good heat gun anymore. But I've seen it done and looks like new plastic.

I wet sand and use elbow grease, I tried using a sander with the correct grit and it didn't work out too good... fwiw.

If you have any deep grooves, you may have to go down to 100 or 150 to get them out.... I can't tell from the pics. As small as that item is it shouldn't take very long.

[FW_cArBoN]

Looking for new part ideas right now for the 2011 spring release. If you guys have anything you think you'd like done, hit me up with your ideas. That is a nice little under shroud.

jay@fwcarbon.com

Thanks!

[red88r]

I know it's not a new idea but I would like to see you make a run of the radiator shrouds.

[8686]

Cleaned an air filter and outerwear and generally straightened up a little around my shop. Also I weighed my Walsh 250R frame and subframe just for ****s. Lol. Incase anyone is wondering, with most of the frame and subframe wearing powdercoat, my frame weighs 37.3 pounds and the subframe weighs 5.5 pounds. I don't have a bare stock frame to compare that to but I didn't think that was too bad.

nothing to mine. I may get adventurous and change the front shocks back to stockers tomorrow along with a few other things. lol I should take it for a ride tomorrow too along with my 400. It has been a while since i started them up now that there is snow on the ground. ill see what the temps are tomorrow. steve

i diligently tried to get it started with no luck lol. tried the old heater trick for a couple of hours but that didnt work either so i guess id have to up the pilot for the winter along with the main. it wasnt worth the hassle to go around the driveway a few times lol. steve

i installed a new Burgard bearing carrier. awesome product. i like how the grease nipple is on the outside of the carrier. it makes applying grease to the carrier so much easier then other brands where the nipple ends up inside the swingarm. the thing i like most about the carried is how the chain adjustment is made. you don't need a special tool. all you need is a 3/8 extention.

great product Burgard. now all you need to do is work on your customer service:blah:

i tried to start the old girl its been pretty frigid in the garage needless to say no such luck but i did get the yfz to fire right up so at least i was able to take a little ride today :)

my ac regulator came in the mail today, so i tried to put that on only to find out my wiring harness is missing some stuff so i took connectors from a spare 87 harness that i had and rigged the light to work. then i took it 20ft up the road and ran out of gas, so i went to fill up my tank and found out my older brother put all my gas in his banshee. there is fresh snow comin down as a type now and i cant ride. i skipped school to do all that work on my R so i could ride at night in the snow, i guess this is what happens when i skip school;:(

[SilverLake250R]

Put new Tag T2's on the Walsh Wednesday, and I am going to put a different pipe and front sprocket on tonight, as well as my studded tires, and then tomorrow it's time to race!

[8686]

Put the rear brakes and nerf bars on my quad.

[canuckhd]

Put a nice set of Elka Rezzies on mine.Yet to try em but they sure look good.

[red88r]

Got my 86 out and cleaned the carb. Threw in a fat main jet,mixed up some fresh gas,put on some big tires,six pack rack with extra gas and went for a winter trail ride! First time on the winter trails on a 250r since the late 90's. It was a blast.:D

[redrider419]
