If it appears to be blowing way too much smoke (oil), maybe it has a damaged crankshaft gearbox oil seal?

Probably not your oil/fuel mix, more the fuel/air mix :-)

If it has a nut, most surely the countershaft needs to be pulled hard to that side by the nut, so that all the gears sit in the correct position.

I first came here in 2010, when I retired from serious roadracing, but still have connections with a few from my motocross days, from 1974 to 1986.

Tech Talk / CR250M inlet port height different, why?
« on: September 08, 2023, 05:32:25 pm »
So here is another useless rambling post from me :-)
I've known for many years of the odd inlet port of the Honda CR250M, but I only just now wonder why? I guess I look at employing such trickery on another bike. With the top of the two inlet port windows at different heights, below is a link to the cylinder liner. I guess at a couple of the following reasons ....
* Added crankcase turbulence?
* Flow from each port directed in a different direction?
* With one port starting to close before the other, could it give a mild supercharging effect to the later closing window?
By all reports the CR250M was the fastest 250 in its time, the inlet port being the only thing that seems to stand out from the 250's, makes me wonder, hmmm.

General Discussion / Anyone know US buyers that can post parts to Australia?
« on: August 30, 2023, 10:55:04 am »
Hey Guy's, I want to purchase some parts from the US, the company that sells them does not ship to Australia, is there a company, or rider, that I could pay to purchase the required parts and post to me in Australia?
