CRMotard Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 After an exhaustive search the ebc disc is going in the bin. The bobbins are stuffed and are not replaceable on my model. I was really keen to try out the Chinese discs because on a few local forums they have been rated very high by people who track ride and have metalworking and disc brake experience in there line of work. So iv ordered a set of chinga discs haha Getting closer with the cylinder but have decided to oring the top. Ordered a grooving tool for the lathe from the uk. Should have that in 2 weeks Other good news, my shock has been fully rebuilt with new shims and spring. Will be fitting that tonight hopefully!

peter187 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 It's a bit late now but have you looked at motosport for the oem parts you needed? They are quite cheap and fast, just sometimes you have to have a buddy in the states send it on for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRMotard Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 yeah, I shopped around and got all the little OEM bits from BikeBandit in the states... was about half the price of the Australian prices and my mate has a mail forwarding box The CRM OEM bits I have to get from australia because the CRM was only released in Australia, the UK and Japan. had a little bit more progress today, installed the piston and cylinder with a temporary spacer, have to wait till next week to get the proper 5mm spacer plate plasma cut. -Just gota get some feeler guages so make sure the ring gap is right, -and need to buy some 10x1.25 threaded bar or bolts tommorow so that I can make some longer studs for the raised cylinder -but best of all, the 2005 CR250 pipe fits up to the CRM chassis very nicely, without any fowling issues on the engine frame or rear shock... even the CRM rubber exh mounts will work nicely. going down to the bike shop tomorrow to pick up my shock bush thank fuk its here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazrs257 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Looking good mate. That barrel looks like its had a hard life, are they known for cracking? 2 out of the 3 top ends I have for my Rotax 257 have had to be welded, but its a known problem on them.

Lozza welded up the rear stud holes when we offset them for the CRM pattern, and had to add some extra meat. one day when Iv got some more time Ill die grind it back to look a bit nicer, but right now I just want to get her running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRMotard Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 thats the plan might hit up that local kart track to do some heat cycling in the next few weeks too... for $30 bucks a day it sure is a safer/more legal way to heat cycle a race bike engine.

CRMotard Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 head turned up I managed to drop a head dowel down into the coolant jacket GRRR but a trusty zip tie and butchered fridge magnet came to the rescue installed with a home made copper head gasket compression feels really strong, can barely kick it over. plumbed but unfortunately I will have to undo all of the work Iv done tomorrow morning (asked for half a day off). Iv got two stripped threads in the top of the cylinder. Im going to have to tap them out to M10. then re-install the cylinder/exhaust/radiators/plumbing/head. then finally fill her with fuel/oil and kick her to life tomorrow arvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRMotard Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah, for some reason my charging system died so I rigged up a couple torch batteries.

CRMotard Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 bahhh, still having servo motor dramas. Im thinking that there is a problem with the ignition as the servo is being spastic. turn the ignition on once and the servo spins to 2300mV (the max value on the curve, for servo cleaning), turn the ignition on a second time and the servo spins back to 400mV which is the min value on my curve start the bike up and it doesnt move at all. So Iv contacted ignitech to see if they have a solution or can repair the ignition if its damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRMotard Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 some testing clips from the weekend. went pretty well, and top end is very strong however the mid range is lacking big time due to the PV servo not working and the needle clip being too low making it too rich. but other than that it was very very fun! Ill get the jetting a bit closer, get the PV working then head out for one more test like this. then Ill dyno tune the bike, and then it'l be race ready the chicks dug it haha (my missus and her friend) and then I offered I offered a sacrifice to the two stroke gods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
