MY 03 Honda CR250 idling, first start in a while so smoking

[113cross]

2 strokes always smoke



[motocross19916]

anybody can ride a dirtbike but can U motocross it?

[dh4life100]

does the pipe make a big power difference?

[aceshot100]

How did you get the idle to stay so high and constant? Mine stays runnin even when hot for literally maybe 10 seconds if i dont rev

[jeremymach2015]

@aceshot100 adjust the idle screw

[whitey22222]

@aceshot100 Ace try cleaning out your carb I have an 03 CR250 also sometimes a lil crap gets in the idle circuit of the card a quick shot with some carb cleaner and youll be good to go!

[whitey22222]

[JDMforever11]

@metalmanguitarist21 what a joke. 125's are NOTHING compared to a 250. they are a whole different animal. i say that because i oqn a 2007 yz125. before i bought it i drove a 2003 rm250 and i almost flew off the seat. im selling my yz now im getting a cr250

[chevynarramore]

is this bike stock

[asjhoffman]

nah its got tons of mods... to many to list. crazy fast

[nitrobike11]

@chevynarramore did u honestly just ask if its stock? u couldnt see the big chrome pipe on the side, and how many people do u know that have a sponserd out decel kit witha stock biike? think a bit.

[FCustureri]

I have the same bike, and I'm just wondering:

When you shift into first from neutral, even with the clutch all the way in, does your bike lurch forward just a tad bit?

It's my first dirt bike, so I'm just wondering.

Thanks

[lilcane88]

no....

[FCustureri]

It doesn't jump just a little bit at all? What could it be then?

[lilcane88]

try adjusting your clutch lever. if not its probably the clutch plates.. can pick em up on motosport or at the local shop.

[FCustureri]

I found an example of what it is doing.

In this video(take out the space):

w atch?v=fVY6hW3mX_g

Watch his rear wheel when he shifts from neutral into first, right before he takes off. That's exactly what my bike does too.

[lilcane88]

ohh. your talking about going from neutral to first... not first to neutral... sorry. yes it will jump a little bit. but you can still adjust the clutch lever a little and fix that.

[Skinner0187]

my jumps a little i have a 2001 cr 250 and when i shift into first it just jumps and little but dosent lerch forward

[hondaridr314]

it could just be worn springs or your clutch cable isnt tight enough or you have groves on your clutch basket, or worst case scenario your plates are sticking when the bike is warmed does it still lundge forward with mine it did the same thing i changed out the tranny oil and let it warm up and stoped it for the most part

[bmxmotorman]

yes i have a many diffrent dirt bikes and they all do it

[kalzx]

fucking gay ass bike

[asjhoffman]

Hey thanks a lot buddy..

[bmxrider7945]

@kalzx i hate people like you that just say shit. so you dont like his bike big deal at least he gets to ride.

[bansheekid350]

nice bike! what pipe you got on it?

[rollybomc]

all bikes do that u retard!! sweet bike though mate. u wanna have it so that it doesnt idle, gives u a tiny bit more power =].

[asjhoffman]

ive heard that before, thanx

[Magalia369]

its the low pitch click im talking about, and no the wheel shouldnt spin that fast, i raced a CR250 for 6 years dont tell me what i dont know

[HondaCR80ROCKS]

dang nice bike man i got the same but it is a 99' i love it

[Magalia369]

You should check your clutch, that ticking doesnt sound healthy and the wheel shouldnt be spinning that fast in neutral

[xNCKxKrusty]

CLEARLY you know nothing about dirtbikes... that "ticking" is due to the bike being a 2-stroke and EVERY rear wheel on ANY dirtbike will spin like that when it is off the ground and you rev it

[2003HondaCRF150f]

hey i cant see wat kind of handle bars u got on there could u tell me wat they are thanks

[asjhoffman]

Tag bars,,, i used to have renthal, but i actually liek these more, should check them out

[sillygrouse]

nice bike but can u make a vid of u riding it =]

[mikebriggs44]

dude i got the same exact bike

i just bought it and it kinda bogs for a second in first gear do u know wat tht is

[asjhoffman]

not really, in first gear this sucker is "gone"

[jkrobbins89]

its a good idea less maintenance because there is no valves to adjust but always check your pulg and keep your carb clean and your good to go!

[roblucyemily]

lovely bike you got there!

[asjhoffman]

thank ya

[4StrokeRage]

about how many hours before you have to do piston and rings on the bike?

[asjhoffman]

I have no clue how many hours are even on the bike, the prior owner didnt keep track...

[luiescabar]

my bike is a little smokey the fella i bought it off hadnt a clue whats the right mix

[asjhoffman]

ive actually thinned the mix a bit and it is a lot better.

[shvinkty69]

aww yeh just had to press the crank apart an replace the beraing

[chillrasta12]

Do the 03 CRs still have the same airbox sealing problem as the 02s did?

[asjhoffman]

i havent had any problems

[zeppelin264]

Thats the sweet sound of the 2-stroke!

And its really smoky because of your mix(oil to fuel), lean it out a little.

[asjhoffman]

yeah i have thinned it out, its a lot better..

[daltonf777]

thats not piston slap!

[asjhoffman]

what is it?

[shvinkty69]

sounds like ur bottom end baring is on its way out cause i had that with mi rm 125 an it got worse

[asjhoffman]

east fix or no?

[JTB3195cr125ridr]

niice bike dude!

bit smokey but lol

[Gromitdog1]

serious piston slap there.

[79Datson]

You have to love these smokers.

[roderick50]

How do you get it to idle? isnt it the idle screw? thats on the carb right?

[asjhoffman]

dude no clue, when i got it, it just idled like this...

[79Datson]

Idle screw is also the choke.just turn it.

That is how it is on my 95 cr250

[LySTER138]

Yeah Man Its the Screw

[CaNaDiEr2007]

hey dude whats up

my dad just got the same bike but we have a problem when it stays it goes out how to optimize the idling whre is the idling??

and does the smocke from the exaust smell cause on my ad it smells very bad

thx

[asjhoffman]

I would say you should set the idle a little bit higher, or check your jetting. It might be set for a different climate or something. Where did the person who had the bike before you ride? Nevertheless all are in the carb area. Also 2 strokes do have a distinct smell. Some love it and some hate it. I happen to love the smell of a 2 stroke. Its just from the oil mixture in the fuel.

[CaNaDiEr2007]

thx man jeah i personally hate the smell of 2 strokes i own a 4 strocke and i really hate the smell of my dads honda xd

thx again

[TJScott2012]

canadier2007: im sorry but im having trouble understanding you. you want to know how to adjust the idle? on the neck of your carbuerator there is a screw, when turned clockwise will make your idle go up.

[CaNaDiEr2007]

we figured it out jet but the main problem was that the motor oil combined with the gas in the engine some way(broken) and that why it smellet shitty and didnt idle

my dad rebuilded his eingine by hand and jeah it works fine now and it even smells good^^ thx for ur help

[MxRyder19]

tell your dad to buy KLOTZ motocross oil. SMELL SOOOO good ! real 2-stoker can smell klotz oil from miles away. !

[CaNaDiEr2007]

heheh jeah ill tell himm thx

[funn333]

Nice bike, I just picked up a 01' 250. I love it!!!!1

[mmz77]

What kind of pipe is that? Gnarly, Fatty or is it a procircuit?

[asjhoffman]

its got a FMF gold series fatty and a FMF shorty pipe.

[marek0086]

u gotta use fresh fuel in your bike man.

If the fuel has been in the tank for more than a week.....u gotta dump it!

[asjhoffman]

had fresh fuel, just didnt shake bike before starting it, was just spraying the ol girl off. making her all pertty and what not.

[marek0086]

well why the hell not??!! :)

[marek0086]

u enjoying the 2 strokeness??

or are u gonna get a 4 stroke?

[asjhoffman]

U know man ive always loved 2 strokes,probably the smell and sound. I know more maintnence, but something about a 2 stroke ya gotta love. Ill probably get a 4 stroke one day but i plan on keeping this bike as well.

[marek0086]

ye im the same.....the sound and smell! I had a YZF and now i have a 2005 KX250.....so sweet!!

But now i have to sell it :(:(:(:(

(need the money)

p.s. u shouldnt leave it idleing for too long....the motor starts to over-fuel and u kill your plug.

[asjhoffman]

its funny you wrote that because that might be the longest its ever idled.... at least since ive had it.
