I'm probably going to be the PROUD owner of an 88' HONDA 250R by the end of this month and i was wondering what should I do for mods to it ? It has NERFS and i think thats all , In 2 years i will race MX with it , and Do TRAIL riding too . Any suggestions would be just G jimmity dandee

 

If I was you I would first go throught the whole bike looking for problems. Such as replace brakes, sprockets, bearings first and make sure its in good mechanical shape. Then update the suspension then go for the engine. Thats what I'm doin on my 300ex.

 

ya especially the the axle bearings.

 

What has been done to the R already? If it has been used for MXing, it's probably pretty close to what you want now.
As far as tricking it out, how big is your wallet??
When you get it, post and let us know what you've got. We need a starting point.

 

IT'S ME KKKILLER250X

100% BONE STOCK except for DG nerfs. Never raced. The wallet is thin but I can make some $ before the end of summer vacation , probably $500

 

well first buy a pipe and silencer i recommend an ESR model.
Then save u money for suspension like 1000bucks. I would get tcs but works would be cool to but i assume save money by getting what u want in the first place.

 

i agree w/bermbanger, but diehardrider wnts you to get less than the best shox get PEP's,,you wont regret buying the right shox the first time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
