My bike is running!!

[Hondacrrider]

I finally got my bike running after much headache and heartache, and I am so stoked. Brand new Wiseco rings and piston, Hot rods cranks, and new stator and flywheel. Also, if any one needs a flywheel for a 2001 cr125, I have one here for sale. I am on my first ride on my brand new motor tomorrow, hope to post pics tomorrow night.

Great!

Just out of curiosity, the hot rods crank is it a complete crank or just the rod?  What made you go with Hot Rods Crank as opposed to OEM (which is avaialble for your bike @ $230)?

I just had a Wiseco bottom end kit installed, $155 delivered.

Good questions, well, the hot rods crank is the entire crank, comes completely assembled. Everything is ready to go, no pressing of a crank. I bought a kit off of motosport.com that included a wiseco top end, Athena gasket kit, and Hot rods complete crank and bearings. The reason why I bought this set is because I would have to ship my crank off to a company to take apart my crank and repress it, which I did not want to bother with, I also wanted to see if I would get any performance gains out of the aftermarket kit. An interesting side note, the crank, has plastic internals, where as my stocker was all metal, so I guess I got some weight savings there.

I hope to have mine running next week (07 CR250). I bought it at a salvage store for $900. So far I've put about $500 in it. I'll try and do the same next week.

Well, my clutch went funny at the end of the ride, brought it back to my mechanic, it works fine now, going out again tomorrow, sorry, I didn't get any pics
