94 CR 250 Ground Up Restoration IMS Wide Ratio Transmission Issue

[Moto7man]

New GPI rad hoses installed.


Throttle cable mounted up without a problem to the Domino throttle with the Honda throttle cover.


Front brake finished. This was kinda a bear because the caliper carrying pin hole and brake carrier pin holes were corroded. I bought new Honda pins and rubber boots and cleaned the interior pin holes with a .22 caliber bronze brush. The wave rotor was the same diameter as the stock disc and it fit fine but the brake carrier had worn a little so I had to make sure everything cleared correctly before tightening everything up. I am surprised that the front is so strong. It isn't as strong as the brake on my gasser but it is impressive for a 24 year old motorcycle.


I bought these a month ago and they are the business. One 1/4 and the other is 3/8 drives. I already had a Milwaukee 1200 pound Torque Drive wrench which could rip the axle nut off my Nissan Frontier front axles in 2 seconds after I had broken a 1/2 inch bar.( I learned ,always use a 3/4 inch breaker bar or Milwaukee torque wrench on car/truck axles). Anyway, these two ratchets are powerful and fast, it really makes everything go more quickly.


The clutch and throttle cables are installed, the rad hoses are on so I am waiting a on a skid plate,frame guards,hand guards a trial tech and a steering dampener.
This weekend I will install the power valve into the new 96 cylinder. Hopefully, I will have all the parts to finish the engine built in the next 8 weeks, this will include a Rekluse Clutch basket, auto clutch,flywheel weight and some other stuff.

These are the ratchets that I mentioned above.

New Honda radiator overflow hose...it was only 1.99.




New Twin Air Filter oiled up with Bel Ray oil and I am old school, I put a coating of Bel Ray Saltwater proof grease on the leading edge of the filter.

Looking good. Old school?? I guess I am old school as well as I use white lithium water proof grease on the air filter seal as well as belray filter oil.

If it works, you stick with it. I have never had a problem doing it that way.

I made a little progress today. I got in a new PWK carb but I think they sent the wrong one because it doesn't have the two winglets in the bottom of the Venturi. Any know if this is a ASI?

I also received my Rekluse Auto Clutch and Rekluse Clutch Basket.

Does anyone know if the carb above is an ASI?

Beautiful job. All I can say is "wow".

I enduro-ized a '94 KX-250 back in the day and regretted not starting from the'94 CR as a platform instead. The KX was tight on the perimeter frame rails so additional fuel had to be carried 'up and outward" with an IMS tank - really through off the ergos and balance - at least at the beginning of the ride when the tank was full.

The wide ratio tranny caught my eye on your build as that was what my KX lacked - and I gained when I bought an EC300 back in 2001... Actually, the gasgas gave me everything I wanted on my old KX right out of the box - big bore 300, six speeds, lighting, 18" rear wheel, great tight woods steering geometry, etc. etc.

My KX had the kitchen sink thrown at it though.. Slavens porting, 18" rear wheel, suspension was dialed, Had to sell it to buy baby furniture when my daughter was born... Went from nine bikes in the garage down to two back then... Priorities do change in life - no regrets...

Just a PWK. I think the Air Striker (AS1) refers specifically to the fins on the intake, but also has quad vents.

A little reading and it seems the AS1 also has a shorter body, moving the slide closer to the piston which increases response... but they do come in 2 lengths.

You also have many variations across brands with electronics, etc.

I think the Sudco Description you are looking for is PWK 38 QV Air Striker
