Re: Race Bike Engine Overhaul
Go knock it out of the park! Looking forward to your race report on either machine. Good luck and have a great race.
I’ve prepped my friends cr250r for the after summer break race 9/28. She is fully stoked and in 4th place. Racing is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I’m pulling for both of you!

Re: Race Bike Engine Overhaul
Ran the engine last night for the first time since the rebuild. Everything seems fine at first look. I cleaned the area under it and left it on the stand overnight. I’ll check for leaks and give it a thorough test ride today. Whenever I’ve done this much work there is a high probability I missed something, didn’t tighten a bolt somewhere, etc. need to run the bike to be sure before racing Sunday.

Re: Race Bike Engine Overhaul
DONE! Successful test today. I ran it hard for about 30-40 min on the MX track today then ran about 8-10 laps on the kid’s track which is good practice for tight turns. Bike ran perfectly! Yes, I have a big grin!
Thanks to everyone who helped me with encouragement and tips. A special shout out to KDXGarage who called me and helped me make the decision to go with a rebuild.
Y’all keep brapping!
Old guy racin’.......out!

YES!!
Triple check everything you plan to load up to take to the race. Your scrambled brain might miss something during loading.
