I got this bike as a project over the winter. I was told that all it needed was a valve job. but turned out that the oil pump seized and ruined the crank. piston. cylinder. and head on the original engine. Needless to say I was forced to do a lot of work to this that I did not plan on. I am selling it in order to purchase an old 4 stroke aircooled enduro bike instead. The engine is from a 2007 CRF250R and is pretty clean. This includes the carb. TPS. and ignition control module from the 2007 bike which was super clean and was parted out to do a CR500 conversion with the frame. I don't know anything about it's history. but the base gasket looks clean and newer so I am betting the top end is fresh. The plug is brand new. and the carb has a Boyesen quick shot 3 accelerator pump cover. The valves checked in at . 004 intake and . 011 exhaust. I changed the oil filter and have only ridden it two times since I got it back together. The old filter was clean and had no shavings in it. Hell I have only started this thing probably 5 times ever. Seems to start hard. it seems to like a snap of the throttle just before kicking then it rips. I haven't fooled with it or ridden it enough to get a feel for proper starting technique. It has some scuffs on the tank. some dings on the frame around the swingarm pivot bolt. wear around the swingarm from chain slap. general wear and tear etc. The rear sprocket. chain. rear pads. grips. air filter. clutch perch. hot start lever. swingarm bearings. chain slider. wear block. swingarm pivot bolt. engine mount bolts. and plastics are brand new. The seat cover is not brand new but pretty recent. Tires are fair. Rear rim is a DID Dirtstar. It has pro taper bars and a big gun exhaust. This thing really rips. with a blip of the throttle it will immediately pop the front end up. No title or formal paperwork but can provide a bill of sale if required. If buy it now is used. I will also include another spare 2005 carb with boyesen quick shot cover. as well as 2005 ignition control module. wiring harness. and the blown engine that still has some good parts on it such as core head. cam. side covers. etcSold as is. where is. You are welcome and encouraged to come look at it in person before bidding or using buy it now. I have done my best to describe this bike as honestly as I can. As I said. I have only ridden it twice so it may have other quirks that I have not yet experienced. NOTE: Ebay made me choose a title type. so I chose "clear. " This bike DOES NOT have a title or formal paperwork. I can supply a bill of sale. It also has no odometer. so mileage and hours are unknown. I chose "1" mile to satisfy the required field. Located in Harwinton. CT 06791. The bike must be paid for in full within 7 days of auction's end. and picked up within 14 days of auction's end. The bike is also listed locally so I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time due to local sale.
