Hey guys, looking to pick up an older 2 stroke as a project bike. Take a gander in the back of the garage and see what you have back there. I'm okay with running and non-running.

Bikes I am looking for:
02-07 CR250R
05-08 RM250
06+ YZ250
92-04 KX500

I also have an 09 crf450r I would be interested in selling/trading to fund the project

I just fired up my 05 CR250r project last night. I have a buddy with a bunch of 2 strokes, I'll check with him to see if any are for sale. He's got a lot of projects.

That sounds like a fun project but a little too old for what I'm looking for.

Let's see how your 05 looks! I still maintain that the 02-09 cr/crf's have one of the best chassis out there

If your buddy has something let me know

Looks like a great start! I have been seeing more and more people go over to Mika metals bars, what is your perception of those so far?
I like the Mika bars so far, we'll see if they hold up like Pro Taper. They have a new hybrid sprocket that I want to try as well. They are local, the Temmerman's, and own the DT1 track in Tulare, over the hill gang guys get killer deals from them. They also own DT1 filters and CTO goggles.

I just picked up an 06 RM250. Has a Varner Motorsports motor and full hinson clutch. Both of which, the prior owner had no idea about.

haha theres a name from the past, i heard he was working on a KTM privateer team?

Terry built the engine in my KX500 / 250 hybrid bike for me from the ground up. It is a beast.

good luck with it!

As far as I know he has his own shop now and is just grinding away on cylinders. Currently servicing the linkage then I'll get some good "before" photos and start a build thread.

I was planning on sending my motor to him if I keep the cr. glad to hear you found something. My buddy didn't want to sell any of his bikes, he has an 06 RM as well. Looking forward to seeing the project

There's a guy on Vital that has had like 8 CR's from 02-07 and swears by Pro Circuit. I know a lot of people swear by Varner as well. If I had F-U money I would send my motor and carb to Chad Watts (RC's mechanic while he was with Honda). From what I have heard people say about the way Ricky's bike worked, they describe it as a 60hp PW80
