I am toying with the idea of a cr500 swap into my 85 250r eventually. Besides the kickstarter snaffu what else needs to be modded to fit this motor? I know new motor mounts. Any frame mods? Also any ways to strengthen the R frame? I know a couple of guys that have busted there frames either on the backbones or the part in front of the motor. I have a pretty modded 250r as it is (310cc, msd, 41mm carb) But thinking of building this bike for just racing.

Any info would be great
Thanks
Tyler

Weld some 3/16" plate steel on the bottom to tie the tubular frame together. This will prevent it from cracking. Beefs it up. The skid plate covers it up very nicely.

Billy's frame mods, The only way I'd go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As soon as I can chase down an '86 frame, thats what I'm planning on.

leave your 250 and get another frame for the 500r racer if you have the space and funds?
