I changed the air filter , and engine oil on my bike today and went for a little ride after, everything was good but on the way back i heard the engine tone change alittle bit like i could hear the engine louder then before and it sounds like something vibrating or extra noise in the motor , i'll attach a video here so you can hear it really hard to explain a sound on here .. i made sure the oil level was at the correct amount and the air filter was oiled with k&n air filter oil before installing.. any help would be appreciated i could be hearing things but the motor does sound different then it did before i left.

Hi everyone, I just purchased an all stock 2000 Cr125. Unfortunately it seems to have problems with the carburetor. I was planning on switching it out for a keihin PWK carburetor from JD jetting. I am also planning to do a top end rebuild and was wondering if wiseco pistons are better then oem. If there is any other mods that should be done that would be great to know!

I have a xr100, and when i don’t have full choke on, it’s super boggy when you give it even just like a quarter throttle from idle fast. But when I put full choke on I can give it a lot more throttle suddenly and it won’t bog. Feel free to ask questions please!!

Let me know what you guys think I’m having a acceleration problem it feels like all the power there , runs perfectly fine 1-3 gear but when I punch it an give her the beans she bogs out big time as if I ran out of gas. Does this sound like I need a carb cleaning , carb tune , or what idk let me know what y’all think. Need Advice Before I Start Tearing The Thing Apart❗️.

Looking to get a dual sport bike. Been riding on the roads a few years and on trails for one (unless you count atvs which would be my whole life lol). My current street bike is a cruiser: 99 Honda shadow 1100. Wicked comfy and smooth ride. The off road bike is a 2012 yz250f which is also a wicked fun ride. I’m in Maine and the trails are everywhere but fairly rough. I ride on road most of the time with some weekend trips of maybe 100 miles or so with the boys. Road riding is maybe 50 miles a week because I have a car as well. The bike won’t see the highway but still would like it to rip on back roads and two lane country highway. If it could comfortably hit 75 but push to 100+ would be awesome but I don’t have much cash laying around since I’m in college. I’m 6’2 so pretty tall but only weigh around 170. The local dealership can get any new models from Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki. I like what I’ve read from xr650, dr650, and drz400sm but I’m open to anything. Thanks for any input!

Honda 2006 crf250r, I might have bought a lemon. Help!
Angela.2006crf250r posted a topic in CRF250R & RX
I wanted to get into dirt bikes as and decided to go with 2006 CRF250R. The seller didn't kickstart it because he was wearing flip flops but he did bump start it and it ran fine and sounded good. So a month later I need to move it and decide to kick start it for the first time. I didn't have boots and i might have to sprained my ankle trying to start it. What's the problem you ask? It never turned on. Thinking I might have bought a lemon. I googled the bike and saw the bike is known for eating valves. So I figured I should come here and ask if theres any maintenance i should do on it so it kick-starts easier and stays in good rubbing condition. Side note, i have a drill but no tools. Suggestions on a tool set to buy to start selling regular maintenance? Can I use my drill to do maintenance faster? Figure a drill is faster then using a wrench. Thanks!- 31 replies

Hello and thanks for taking time to read. I am looking for used or NOS side covers for my 1981 Honda XL100S. I really only need the left side, but a set would be amazing. Additionally if anyone knows of a company selling reproduction covers would be nice. I've already checked Meier out and they do not have them. I'll attach the part numbers as well. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, Recently purchased a 84 CR500. Cleaned the bike up and did regular maintenance. Got it started and running good, but original carburator would dump gas out of the bottom once running. Cheaper to replace the carb then the float, so on goes the new carburator. After getting everything on and going, I try to get the bike running and it takes forever to start. The first carb did as well, but I figured it was simply because the bike had ran for awhile. After getting it to start, I rode it around for a bit and had issues with the throttle. The bike would somewhat rev up to around 1/4-1/2 throttle out of no where and remain for a few seconds. Upon this happening, I killed the bike, monkeyed around for a bit, and couldn't get it started again. I then monkeyed with the throttle cable and grip later on assuming these were the issues, but I don't believe it is. Nothing is getting stuck on/pulling the throttle. After kicking for about 15 minutes today, I got the bike going again, sitting next to me idling for about 1 minute. I give the throttle a couple blips, everything is fine, about 20 seconds after the throttle blips (while idling), the throttle goes up again, I kill the bike, and it doesn't start. Wondering if this is a carb issue (possible dumping too much gas) or something else. This forum is my last hope to save the beast, so any advice is helpful. Thanks!

So in a few days ill be picking up a 2020 Honda crf 450rwe, it looks to have around 40ish hours judging from the pictures. What are some things i should look out for in terms of reliability.

Hello! First post. I just bought my first trail bike, a ‘12 250X from a work friend. I only just got back into riding with my ‘04 CR250R after about a 9 year break, and up to this point have only be knowledgeable enough to take care of basic maintenance on the 2-stroke. I picked up the 250X for $1,500 knowing that it possibly needs a top end rebuild. The piston and rod seem intact, and I have a reman’d cylinder. What internal wear and tear do I need to be looking and measuring to judge what I do/don’t need to replace?

Hi Friends, I just bought a 2001 Honda XR400R, I have a lot of short/long term plans, but my first task is effectively lowering the whole bike. I added 2 photos. The first one has the desired lowering details, and the second one is essentially the bike inspiration I would like to get as close to as I can. I could use your help in understanding how I can best go about this first mod, lowering the bike substantially, without compromising handling or endangering myself. Ideally the lower the better, but I am okay getting anywhere near 2 to 3 inches drop without sag and then adjust saag for myelf. I am 5'9" and am tip toeing on this thing. I don't want to use this thing for hardcore off trail or anything but I would like it to be capable for anyone wondering why I want to compromise so much clearance. I essentially want to make a capable city scrambler. I would really like to raise the forks, but I don't know how much is TOO much, and I have considering a lowering link. But is there anything else I should consider? I am gonna do a complete redoing of the seat and likely the subframe as well so I know there is that too (eventually). Again, I am inexperienced with lowering or messing with frame geometry but for any veterans, I could use your wise counsel. I will attach a couple of things for your insights. Thank you for your help! Article to the Oscura XR600 build: https://rocket-garage.blogspot.com/2020/04/xr600-oscura-motorcycles.html An example of a 4in lowered bike:

Hey everyone first off thanks for considering, thumper talk is amazing. I just bought a 2002 crf450r that wasent running and thought it would be a simple valve job. I replaced intake and exaust with the kibblewhite black diamond kit (springs and all). The bike starts like a champ usually first kick now but when I go to ride it after about 1-3 min depending on how I use the throttle the bike sputters and dies. If I gas the bike 1 through 5 it dies pretty much right after and holding the bike at a steady low/mid rpm will also cause it to die after like 2-4 min. I thought it was an overheat issue but now I don’t think so because it starts pretty much right back up (2nd to like 5th kick) and I can ride for another minute or 2 before it happens again. It does sound like a fuel issue but I checked my petcock, tank and have now cleaned the carburetor twice. I believe it’s high rpm’s that are causing the bike to die which I’ve read points to an electrical issue but not sure at all. Maybe someone could explain why bikes with electrical problems have trouble at high rpm’s. I figured before banging my head off the wall for a few weeks someone would know what this behavior means. Starts great, idles great, lots of power on the throttle then sputters and dies (but will start right back up). thanks a million…

I bought a 2018 crf250r the other day. Bike had no hour meter so I’m u aware of hours. I noticed a unusual ticking noise coming from the motor so I cracked into it and found my camshaft had ate into my head. My question is what would have caused this?

As the title says I was riding to work yesterday. Feeling great about the bike, thinking it was running great. Anyway I believe I was in 4th or 5th gear and I go to give it some gas and realize it’s dead… so I do what everyone does and try to start it again. No use, so I decided to start walking it home (thankfully wasn’t to far.) I approach a hard and decide to try bump starting it and to my surprise it fires up, no it was definitely not running right. Something felt off it felt gimmicky with the throttle and it was backfiring like crazy. Now when I reach the end of the hill the bike does not want to hold idle, and dies again. I try running it bump starting it but to no avail, maybe I wasn’t going fast enough. My first thought was fuel, so I pulled off the carb and cleaned the jets , floats and needle. None looked clogged or dirty in anyway, as I suspected because I had cleaned the carb maybe 200 miles ago. Right now my next hunch is ignition. I think something in my ignition system went bad.. I’ve pulled of the left side cover to look at the stator and it looks… old? I don’t know what to look for but what I think is this ceramic coating on the coils is flaking off. I’m not sure what I pulled off but on the timing chain side of the engine there is a chrome cover with the word “CDI” on it. I pulled that off and found some more ceramic type material bits along with a brown residue. Right now I’m stuck. All help would be appreciated..

Hey everyone, excuse me if this is a noob question. I just bought and am restoring my first motorcycle. It is a 1983 Honda XL600R and one of the fork caps is damaged. The OEM caps have a schrader valve on top, and I cannot find any OEM replacement other than used eBay pieces. my question: what is the purpose of the valve? I have seen for sale different caps but a lot of them don’t have the schrader valve. Is that part necessary or should I just go with the used eBay piece? Thanks!

So I purchased a “brand new” oem cylinder from adept motor sports. On the outer side of the bore sleeve there appear to be burn marks / possible carbon. Is this a brand new cylinder or a refurb sold as new?

Hey I’ve got a 1981 XR500R that was ran low on oil I think. The cylinder is scarred up and the piston is totally destroyed, anyway I’m trying to rebuild the top end for as cheap as possible so far I’m gonna replace the timing chain And get the cylinder Bored 1/2mm over stock and replace the piston with a 89.5mm 10.5:1 compression ratio Wiseco piston. What do you guys think about that compression ratio? Stock is 9.8:1. So here’s my big questions the cam looks a little warn to me do you guys think I should replace it? How bad would it be to run it if it is a little worn?

I just got my Honda cr250r re plated to a bore size of 66.400 and was told to use a grade A piston, is this piston I got a good make and okay for the job? Also the old piston I removed was domed and this one isn’t will that make much of a difference?

Just bought a 2014 crf250r. When I looked at it to buy it I put the choke/fast idle on and it started cold on the second kick and idled/ran fine. It was at about 600’ altitude and it was 85f degrees out. Brought it home about an hour east up the mountains and it wouldn’t start after 20mins of trying to kickstart it at about 7200’ and 45f degrees. Once it’s fuel injected do I need to worry about altitude? Not really sure what to do I have checked to make sure no plugs/wires came loose in transit, tried starting fluid, changed the spark plug and checked for spark. The bike was running great when I bought it, but now I can't get it to turnover. It will be so close to starting and sometimes idles for about a second MIL light comes on then dies. Really wanted to be able to ride this summer, but all the shops within two hours of me are booked till September so please give me any suggestions on what to go look at/ replace. I really appreciate any ideas thank you in advance.

Hey y’all so I’ve just done a fresh piston (forged wiseco 12.1) on my crf450x and I’ve got it all back together and I have this pretty horrible noise on the right side of the cylinder. I’ve double checked the valve clearance and tried tightening bolts to no avail. My exhaust flange is sort of bent but this doesn’t sound like a header leak. Any idea WTF is going on? https://youtube.com/shorts/JnTe1oRxvHw?feature=share

Just bought a 2014 crf250r. When I looked at it to buy it I pulled the fast idle out and it started cold on the second kick and idled/ran fine. Not really sure what to do I have checked to make sure no plugs/wires came loose in transit, tried starting fluid, changed the spark plug and checked for spark, and unplugged kill switch and tried starting. The bike was running great when I bought it, but now I can't get it to turnover. I have the fast idle knob turned all the way down to the lowest setting and it will idle for about a second with it turned down then dies. Really wanted to be able to ride this summer, but all the shops within two hours of me are booked till September so please give me any suggestions on what to go look at/ replace. I really appreciate any ideas thank you in advance.
