Title: 1980 CR250 silencer
Post by: suzuki43 on June 25, 2010, 07:14:45 am
Men of red whilst it pains me to ask,(given I have outed myself I can admit its me )a mate of mine needs to know if the silencer from a 1978/1978 CR250R model interchanges with the 1980 CR250RA.
All help apreciated,I shall remove my yellow blinkers this one time to help him.

PS Whats is the 1980 CR250RA like for parts sourcing??,my mate has a 90% complete bike that needs a silencer and airbox...

That was a 125.
Craig I don't know the answer to that one.
I thought the 125 ones were the same as they looked the same.
I will try to find out.
(sure its for a mate. You closet Hondaphile!)

the air boxes are interchangeable although very slightly different .the 80 model is better apparently. the silencers could probably be made to fit ,they are different because the pipe s are different and the stinger ends at a differet point on the frame.Im sure it would nt be a huge drama.
80 models are relatively rare here but there plenty of parts on us ebay.

Yes suzukis are better apart from the heinous RM500 rod shortage!

mmmmm - first yz parts now honda parts.  I get the feeling if you were being honest Craig (you closet f--) you are just having a look around at something good to replace the yellow shite you currently have.  Mate - one word of advice from your good buddy Rossco (aka CMD) - from what I have been told about your riding skills go with the YZ 80 - the improvement from where you are currently and what you have would be genuinely noticeable  ;D

No No just kiddin.

I am not sure from memory they are very simular in the muffler but as you know the pipes are not due to the 80 model being a centre port.

Sir Brad averylot has an 80 model 250 so I could give him a muffler I have to try on to see if it fits.

I am sure it would be at worst a reweld of the mount thats all.

I have an old original 79 muffler you could have if you like eitherway.

Let me know.

Checked my CR 250 jigs today.
They are very close.
It seems the mounting brackets are the same distance apart but the front mount on the 80 model is about 8-10mm further inwards.
80 model is also about 5mm shorter in front of the front mount.
Think the angle is slightly different too but not by much.
I remember having to make a jig for the 80 model as the the 79 just missed out on fitting the 80 properly.
If your cool with mods in wouldn't take much to modify either muffler to fit the other model.
I think you would only need to change the steel stinger part in front of the muffler body.

I'm still a bit vague on the 125's of 79 & 80, I really need to get a bike in some time to check them out properly.

Gday Shano of the Shire Mr GMC and Caps999, and my gay sand groping friend,from the Peoples Republic of China.
Sad news they dont make Honda parts here because they cant lower their quality levels enough to meet Honda specs :'(
Cheers for your help with the silencer Shano my mate is keen on your 79 and Caps also your pipe.
Please shoot me an email [email protected] with details etc.
Shano I will shoot you an email when back from my trip (next week) re silencer.
Cheers
Comrade 43
