1993 Honda XR 250 R Full Restoration

[Moto7man]

Another build coming along. I was wanting something more simple for extremely tight wooded single track. Low seat height, air cooled no radiators, smooth power, low maintenance and super reliable.I have had the YZ400 F, CRF 450s etc but I am really a two stroke guy so I am not so sure how this is going to work out.

Here is the old girl, she has been in storage for a long time. She turns over but won?t start. She has spark,fuel but the compression is too low,50 PSI per my gauge. So, I am going to start by pulling the head,cylinder for inspection, then send out head,cylinder to be bored for a new Wossner piston and all new Honda gaskets.I think the subframe and foot pegs are a little tweaked as well.Yikes, look at that stock silencer?. it?s as big as a boat anchor.
