Your cr is lookin great,I know how cr,s photo if it,s cloudy or sunny the cr,s pic can look like a diff. bike. Ever try a icat ? They work great on a 04 cr125 e. valve motor, icat works good on a 06 cr125 also, bigger improvement on the 04 tho. I just did a google and found a mxa article, stating how the icat improved every part of the 04,s 125,s powerband, then icat said it did nothing for the RM125. I would think the icat would work, on a e.valve cr250.

Starting to get serious!  I'm leaving work now to go by some race fuel and finish the prep for tomorrow.  I'm pumped, can't wait to see how it all feels now that the bike is completely rebuilt.

Well here we are folks, it's 90% done.  Still needs the chain mounted, front plate properly secured, sag set, and a proper going over to make sure everything is tight.  I started it up and it sounds great.

My helmet cam bit the dust a few months ago so I won't get any of that footage just yet, but if I drag my wife along she can do some iphone videos from the tower.

The sprocket is anodized directly from Renthal, for an extra 5 bucks they'll send you one of a few different colors.  That's why it's a different red from the hubs.  The hubs were done by a local guy for 45 bucks, we didn't have much of a match for CR red but he got close I think.  I wanted to do the frame and swing arm too but the logistics of that were a pain in the ass. 

I was aiming to copy this look minus the graphics but it would have just cost too much on top of everything else I did:

Bike is complete and loaded in the truck to go ride after work.  I'll take a few shots after it gets daylight.  Waking up at 4am really blows.

That was a great project story and an extremely nice CR.  Hope it did not remain that clean for too long...

Outdoor pictures.  This is after a ride before it got cleaned since the light was fading.  Rode it again last night.  Worked out a lot of bugs.  I quickly realized the '09+ CRF450 chassis really changed my style because I hate 100mm of sag.  I have to run the bike low in the back or it just feels unrideable.  Also I was having a small blubbering issue at 1/4-1/2 throttle that I chased around but never really nailed down.  It's been a while since I rode a 2-stroke except for a few laps on my buddy's '12 KTM 250SX, and I must say it makes me feel slow.  I didn't have much confidence yet to charge or be very aggressive.  The bike feels light but strangely that felt like a negative compared to the 450.  Just going to take some time.

Like I said, keep in mind this is right after the first day breaking it in.  So it is dirty:










My wife didn't feel like standing up.. she also took a short video with her iphone I'll try and upload.  Obviously she can't zoom so for a portion of it I'm pretty small.   ;D
