ESR makes a nice air box eliminator for your 38-39 pwk`s.......lets see if you notice the +4 swingarm @ the dunes !......no more sitting on the tank ? ......only 1 more month and i`ll be carving up some bowls !! :Bounce:Bounce:Bounce


Been running it that way for a very long time :)

Very nice! Will those banshee chain guides work on stock swingers as well? Never knew that??

Just need to weld a mount on. I have one on my +3 stocker.

[Fox250R]

Few more pics with a much better camera. Still need to do the forks! My tubes have some pits on them and I think that's what's wiping out my seals.

Thanks for the Reply. I like those but they seem to be a bit oversized. IMO

[Fox250R]

Maybe I can get the tubes machined? Not really sure how that works... I see a few stock forks on ebay that look really nice... Still not sure how to go about this yet.

I know I have options just need to pull the trigger.

Jasonb had a set of 250 inverts for sale as we speak on the cheap compared to new price.....and they are basically new..

1600? Lol!!!!! Those are nice I guess but for that amount I could buy another 250R!

[250rRoostmaster]

Expensive yes, but It brings the front end into the modern age of suspension though, and with your rear shock, you would have an amazing suspension setup that would be capable of basically anything your willing to do! Either way, nice bike man. Hope to see you out on the dunes sometime.

Well, you do make a very valid point for sure. But if I did spend 1600 on these verts I'd be into my Suspension 2600 alone lol!!! Pretty sad when you think I haven't even rode it since all my upgrades.... How sad is that?

Well, I still need to do my forks and front breaks. I rode it up and down the street and the forks are sagging really bad.. When I get that done then ill GTG!

Never thought this would drag into almost Winter.

To add, I'm still happy with my stock forks with new progressive springs and 20wt fork oil. Was a night and day difference from the old worn out springs and water like fluid that came out of them lol. Besides the bushings being worn out which you can't replace, they still do pretty well for duning and its not that expensive really. I think i paid like $90 for the springs shipped.

Ya I got the progressive springs and 20 weight oil. Was just a little confused on the seals I needed.
My forks have been leaking for 5 years now lol! Whoops....:)
Thanks for the advice.

Ya I have the progressive springs and 20wt oil as well. Just been kind of lazy to tear it apart and do the install I guess. However I do need to figure out why my forks keep leaking.

Have you ever had them apart? If not, the seals are probably bad and leaking. The only real reason for them to leak is either dirty/worn out seals and sliders and or your forks have pitting in the chrome. Light pitting can be helped by using some extra fine scotchbrite on the troubled areas to sand lightly to a smooth finish.

Ebay for about $90 :)

You must be itching to ride! Did the roller have what you needed to button up the front brakes as well?

Ditch the OEM front brake line for a nice braided one! You don't realize how much an old line stretches compared to a braided line! Brakes feel way better!

That's a good idea!

[Fox250R]

Well here it is Finally!

Got the forks installed off the other R! New progressive springs, seals and 20w oil. I didn't think i would at first but I actually LOVE the look of the OEM boots! It's so nice to actually sit on it now and not feel it sag to the front, then it pops right back up! I LOVE IT!!!!

Still have issues with the Front breaks. Not sure what I did bit i think its leaking air somewhere in the system but I cant figure it out for the life of me. The front breaks work, but there isn't a lot of pressure when you pull the break lever. Might be the Cylinder or the Line itself not really sure just yet. So I guess technically its not 100% done lol, but I really do love the look and feel of these forks. Can't wait to try them out next week!!

How do you like the desert seat, who did the cover. I'm thinking of putting one on mime as I'm 6'4 but am kinda holding off until the Canadian dollar gets better. Bike looks great btw

Thanks man. Got the seat from Hi-flite Years ago...I just like it cause you sit higher and just feels more natural to me ..

[yaegerb]

Sounds like air is still in the line or the plunger is malfunctioning. I would bleed again to ensure all the air is out. another way to tell if the plunger is bad is to take the cover off the master and squeeze the brakes. Do you see tiny bubbles coming to the surface? If so then time to rebuild it.

Also, if you haven't done so, I would invest in a mightyvac. I bought mine at autozone for 40 bucks and it paid for itself on the first brake fluid change.

Ya, I am looking for a decent Master cylinder now. This one is pretty beat up after really inspecting it.

[Fox250R]

I never noticed how universal some of these master cylinders are. Found a brand new one off 350x for 50bucks! Hope it works :)

[Onetrackmind]

I wound up using a perch/ms from an 85R on my 350X. Worked like a charm. Now for the rear brakes...another story altogether.

[86125m]

Man I just put the cheap Chinese master cylendars on my 200x and they work great. You might have to make an adapter plate for the rear put that is not to hard.
