Hey guys!
Post photos, opinions on what you LOVE or HATE about these bikes! I'm going to be getting another one and at a quick glance plan to LIKELY do the following; (this is why I'm asking you all)
- PC suspension/exhaust
- Varner Motor work
- Lectron or PWK Carb
- A60 hoops on stock hubs
- Rekluse Torque Drive Full Clutch
- Close to OEM graphics/plastics w/ updated front fender/plate
I will be doing a personal write up, video "VLOG" type thing on YouTube as well covering everything from the day I got it and riding it in "purchased" form all the way up to the final clean up and improvement along the way. I've ridden a handful of the new 18 bikes (250 & 450) so I'm interested to see how they all compare (if they compare at all) in regards to smiles, fun, performance and cost.
Here's a pic of my last CR 250 Build (which was a bit overdone, as I'd like to keep this one much more OEM looking)

The Shop
I just got an '02 about a month ago. I'm just doing mainly cosmetics but thought I'd share a pic of updated number plate/fender. Went for the all red look
I ran into trouble with the swingarm pivot bolt when replacing the swingarm bearings. I CAN NOT get it out
Interested to see what way you go with graphics/plastics. I like making them pretty first
if you don't mind what'd you pick her up for cost wise? thanks!
So I built this one 02 with 01 engine.
I still own the 03 CR2 since I haven't found a better combo of chassis, suspension & engine.
After about 6 months of testing in 2005 with different set ups I settled on this combo..
PC Cyl / head mods
JD ign. PC programmed map to compliment engine port work
VF2 manifold
Doma full exhaust
VP C12
13/50 gear combo
Mikuni feels stronger mid-top vs. Keihin PWK
07 Showa CR2 FC B-kit installed in 2011
Previously had the 03 CR2 suspension done by PC in 2005. The 07 boingers are a notch above.
Except for my Rm, my cr gets rode more than my 4 strokes. But I ride for fun now more than speed. I'd be afraid to flog those bikes, they look so pretty, like garage queens.
Pit Row
Great project, by the way. Would love to see one done up proper to match the 18' Geico bikes and let test riders bounce from 250cc 2T to 4T...
Love my -06, what i hate is guys that put newer plastics on them.
Suspension is untouched for 11 years so its starting to be a little nervous out on the track
Loved my '03 but there came a time I didn't want to have to ride it like a 125 and rev it to the moon to hit areas of the track where my buddies were lugging their kx's and yz's. But it handled like a cadillac. That motor though, totally meant for fast amateurs and pros.

I talked to Chad in June about doing the mods to the Mikuni, but he was super busy with prepping bikes for LL's. He asked me to call him at the end of summer when things slowed down. Unfortunately I've been unable to get a hold of him. Thnxz..
