2002 Honda CR250
hughes:
Guy's I'm looking at a 02 CR250 very clean and nice bike. Anybody here have any opinions on the Honda? I know green web-site and red bike don't mix. Guy's I'm putting off a new bike for another year so I'm buying used. I just trying to find the newest 250 clean stroke regardless of brand. Thanks.
Arigato:
If it's the case-reed motor with the electronic power valve, stay away. Look for a similar year YZ250 if you're looking to go that route.
If it has the older style motor, get it! I'm not sure what year Honda went to the case-reed motor, but they never got it quite right. No bottom end and a bunch of jetting issues were the biggest problems.
Hillclimb#42:
Race against one. They're real fast, but are touch and go on tuning. And they have a weird mixture screw. I think its a phillips head, backed up with a lock nut. Trying to tighten it and not change mixture screw is different.I don't think it has an electronic powervalve. I would say good ergonomic bike. (Easy to ride) Super easy clutch pull. Very light and sneaky. Probably be faster with a Kaw motor mounted up.

What's the case reed design?

The reed valve opens into the crankcase instead of the cylinder. KTM does it too, but they work a lot better than the Honda.
