I run klotzr50 in my cr250 is that good stuff. And i
The motor would be in a little buggy maybe 800lbs tops including the engine. Would tht kill it faster or anything. I dont want to buy the bike and have to constantly rebuild the motor once its in and spend crazy amounts of money on rebuilding it. If I did a wossner rod and all tht how much do you think id be looking at for parts for bottom end only?
Foxx4Beaver:
I've never used Klotz, so I don't know if it's good or bad.
providing you won't have to replace any tranny parts, you'll probably be around $800-$1K to rebuild the bottom.
On how often you'll need to rebuild it, it all depends on how hard you run it....and as I stated earlier, keep on top of your maintenance..i.e....keep a clean air filter on it always, and change the oil a lot!
have a look at this thread...is this anything similar to what you're thinking of doing?

Rougedante:
Dang thats a pretty penny to rebuild the bottom end. I always clean my air filter and oil so no worries on that end. Umm ehhh on tht thread this is more what I want to put it in. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FFQo8vWm5I8
Foxx4Beaver:
if you just replace the bearings and seals, you could do it for 1/2 that price...I tend to replace as much as I can, or need to.
800lbs, that thing weighs that much??...
the 500 motor should be able to push that thing around...won't really know how well until you try it.
Rougedante:
It says 800 but I dont believe it. I can pick it up so im assuming 500lbs total. Its got a tiny 250cc honda clone nd it goes up to 40 but real slow no real power to it. So if I replaced seals bearings and rod assuming the cranks good prob 400-500? You think
