Honda CR description

(re-listing after prior buyer didn't pay) This bike has engine# CR250ME-1000971 and frame #CR250M100 965. These numbers jive with all the Elsinore ID info I can find online. I purchased this bike via Bill of Sale at the Barber Vintage Bike Festival in 2013 --I bought the bike from Bob Church of Springfield, Missouri -- Bob owns a vintage motorcycle business and is very active with the CR250. Buyer gets Bill of Sale from me (not titled). Bob restored the bike during 2012 & 2013 and I have receipts from much of what he did. Since I have owned the bike (2013 onward) I have only put about 15 hours on it --not raced, just trail riding. Here's a list of what Bob did to the bike in 2012 & 2013 as part of his restoration (less than 50 hours ago), new piston, rings and connecting rod bearing, new Bridgestone tires (still have many nibs), clutch cable, case gaskets, points & condensor, professional paint, chain & sprocket, seat cover, swing arm bushing, handlebars, Circle F exhaust pipe, aftermarket Protec chain tensioner. Total cost of foregoing work was $2,100+ and I have receipts for the engine work and ignition work. I added new Progressive Suspension shocks and springs (cost $200) and have only ridden bike once since they were installed - made a world of difference in the ride. (Original shocks are not included, but are offered for sale in a separate Ebay auction, if you are interested.) I installed new clutch discs, and replaced both the intake rubber boot (Honda NOS) and the manifold rubber boot (new repro). I added new air filter element, new carb float and installed new front fork springs and rebuilt the kick start pawl, and installed new case fasteners. New Honda NOS exh springs. New repro kill switch. The bike runs like a scared ape, however it runs a little rich and would benefit from 1 size smaller jet. Transmission shifts flawlessly with no issues. Brakes are strong. I bought it to ride and enjoy so there are a couple of noteworthy scuffs in the otherwise beautiful paint work (see pics) - one on tail of front fender, and one behind seat where I stored a tool bag--both these might compound out with a little work. The gas tank is painted silver (not the original bare finish). The tank has very little scuffs and one or two tiny scratches so small they don't show on pictures. The exh pipe has a dent just behind the hanger (see pic). The front fork seals need replacing as one side of forks leaks a little when riding. The frame is free of any cutting or mods. Please email me any questions you have. Paypal or Cash only sale - no cashier's checks, etc. With advance agreement - I might can hold bike for you for a little while provided it's been fully paid for. Pick up only - no shipping. $500 is due within 48 hours of auction close. Bike sold as-is, where-is with no warranty express or implied. Thank you.

Chattanooga Honda Dealer Fined for Allegedly Selling Recalled Models

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has levied a $125,000 fine against Southern Honda Powersports following an investigation into allegations the Chattanooga, Tenn., dealership sold unrepaired recalled models. Southern Honda Powersports bills itself as the “World’s largest Honda powersports dealer”. Federal laws require dealers to stop selling models that are recalled until the defect or noncompliance issue has been remedied.

R&G announce cheaper engine case cover kits

Tue, 06 Sep 2011

R&G Racing has reacted to the rising cost of official motorcycle parts from manufacturers by creating money saving packages on its Engine Case Covers.As a reaction to the parts price rise, the crash protection leader has created a kit package on its Engine Case Covers (ECC) – offering an overall saving of more than 10% when compared to buying the items individually. The ECCs are designed to protect the engine cases and the inner workings of the motor in the event of a drop by acting as a sturdy ‘second skin’.By simply bolting over the original items, fitting the durable Engine Case Covers doesn’t require draining any engine fluids or replacing gaskets. Extensively developed in the ACU R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R600 Trophy, as well as being tested and approved by the California Superbike School in the UK and USA, the covers can allow a bike to be ridden after a crash or prevent terminal engine damage from oil leaks or casing punctures.Protection benefits aside, financial savings for riders are evident by looking at official parts prices; to replace only the clutch cover on a Suzuki GSX-R1000K7 would cost £206 including a new gasket, but all three R&G Engine Case Covers for this bike cost only £143.

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda VFR800F

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Gracing the new 2014 VFR800F is traction control, ABS, heated grips, adjustable seat height and self-canceling blinkers. The V-Four-powered machine has been re-tuned  for greater low and mid-range torque, and also receives a new telescopic fork, Pro-arm swingarm, wheels, new, slimmer bodywork and styling. Starting with the 782cc V4-VTEC engine, Honda engineers focused mainly on cam timing and valve duration/overlap to increase low-to midrange power and torque, claiming 104.5 hp @ 10,250 rpm and 55.4 ft-lbs of torque @ 8,500 rpm. Bore and stroke is 72mm x 48mm, with compression ratio of 11.8:1. VTEC valve timing still operates one pair of inlet/exhaust valves per cylinder at low rpm, and then switches to four as revs rise. Honda’s single-mode Traction Control System (TCS) is fitted as standard equipment and is operated from the left handlebar.
