Another TRX250R Rebuild Thread...

[54warrior]

So I thought I would share some photos of a project I've been helping with recently. My roommate has a pretty sweet TRX250R that has been sitting in pieces, in a plastic tote for the past four years! He finally decided it was time to put it back together. It is a 265cc "base plate" motor, which means the 88/89 length rod is combined with an .080 over 86 piston, and a 5mm spacer plate beneath the jug. We are utilizing the stock, ported, cylinder, along with a Pro Design Cool Head. Previously, the motor was equipped with a Hetrick Racing 265cc Power Valve Cylinder (I think he is going to sell that).

Parts List:

* Hot Rods Crankshaft '89
* Hot Rods Rod '89
* Wiseco Piston .080 Over '86
* Ported/Polished Cylinder '87
* Pro Design Cool Head
* Pro Design Counter Balancer Bearing Holder
* Barnett Dirt Digger Clutches
* Everything else internally is stock

We still have to throw the top end together, but it's basically complete. I'm not sure when he'll find time to put the engine in the chassis however. Here are some specs on that setup:

Frame: Stock, painted Flo Orange
Plastics: Fullbore Innovations - White
Bars: ProTaper
A-Arms: Lonestar (+3 +1) - Chrome
Front Shocks: PEP ZPS (Triple Rate)
Swingarm: Lonestar (-1) - Hammertone Powdercoat
Rear Shock: PEP ZPS (Dual Rate)
Axle: Lonestar Axcaliber (+4)
Locknut/Hub: Lonestar
Bearing Carrier: Lonestar Double Row
Chain Guide: TM Designworks
Front Bumper: AC Racing
Grab Bar: AC Racing
Nerfs: AC Racing Pro Pegs
Wheels: Douglas Shamrock Beadlocks - Polished
Tires: (F) ITP Holeshot MX6R 20x6-10
Tires: (R) ITP Holeshot MX6R 18x10-8

Anyway, here are the engine photos:

Cool!What type of build,stock,sand,desert,MX,XC?

[54warrior]

Planning to paint the entire bottem end black with some fresh paint.

As far as build type... the quad was an MX machine. It's been in pieces for so long, and don't race MX anymore. Just want to have it back together and rideable.

Ok man, Its already apart! Save yourself some time and noney and paint it now when all the desassembly is already mostly done for ya! You'll regret it later if you don't do t now. I though the same thing on a Banshee that I was building and I left the cases the stock aluminum color insted of Powdercoating them black with ther rest of the bike parts!! Don't get me wrong the Banshee looks good, but had I have painted those cases, it really would have set the bike off!!! ANd eve if you don't wanna spend the extra money on Powdercoat the there's always other optiond for a good paintjob!!! Thanks Higgy!!!
