My 1994 CR250 Comes to Life! 

That is a killer bike. I had one and wish I still had it. Bought it new when the model came out. I haven’t been around the dirt bike world for a while but am now finding my way back. I’m a little confused about the forks. Are those some type of aftermarket seal covers? The ‘94 had those vegetable strainer, cage looking ones. They were two piece and screwed together. In 2004 I rebuilt the bike. I tore it completely down. I split the cases and she got a whole new crank assembly, new bearings, top end, and clutch. I then replaced every single bearing. The steering head bearings, wheel bearings, and all the linkage bearings. The forks and shock were rebuilt as well. The bike then got a pro circuit pipe/silencer, Boyesen reeds, and a new air filter. I replaced all the plastic, new tires, cables, new seat cover, bigger foot pegs, and fresh grips for the Renthal bars, and an aluminum throttle tube. In the end, it was better than it was brand new. I still kick myself for not keeping that bike.

Dude that white wing graphic made me buy Hondas my whole life 🤙

That bike screams Doug Henry.

Hi Cole. Awesome project. I restored 94 CR250 years ago. What a beast and a blast to ride. Couple of things of note. The rear brake master cylinder is a weak point, it could use a larger protector shroud. Also consider replacing the triple clamps with billet aftermarket ones. You will get more response from the front end. Good luck and great job!

This is awesome! New life from an older bike. I love this stuff! And to see it transform is content that I find exciting! Old is new again!

Cole in regard to your front number plate UFO have 2 - 1 fits the 90-94 CR and the other fits 95-99. The earlier model has the bolt hole 45mm from the top of the plate and the later had the bolt hole 25mm from the top of the plate. The UFO part number for the 90-94 starts with 2629 and the 95-99 starts with 2683. The last 3 numbers in the part number refer to the colour. The guys at throttle jockey should have them

I just got a 93, runs and looks great. What a machine, hope you enjoy the heck outta yours too!

Looking good! Can't wait to hear it fired up. I have a 94 CR125 that I race in a vintage motocross club and those era of Hondas are great.

Nice bike I miss my 94 CR 250

Silly Seely, you can always look at a microfiche to see where the parts go 😉 I had several of these era bikes. Make sure you have a steady supply of seat bolts on hand! I bet I’ve sold more Honda seat bolts than all other bolts combined 🤣 Not only did Honda have 18” rear wheels until 1995, they also tried the 20” front wheel to give compliancy to their always crappy front suspension feel. Even tried a 23” front wheel on XRs if you go way back.

8:37 the gap is correct that way👍.

Need to get yourself to VMXDN Foxhill UK next year and shred that bike

Pro Tip: Don’t spray anything on that vinyl seat or it’ll be a loopout edit! All of us riders from the 80-90s era have had a Armor All incident. 😂 All of us PNW riders who rode in the wet got Devol Gripper seats as soon as that was a new thing.

I had this bike! It was the best handling bike I have ever owned...The best!

nice job cole

The rear brake thing is a clevis Leave is looking like that. It looks so good.

Airway heights is built for a bike like that! Hope I’m out there to see you rip it!

Yes to the seat mounting like that and the random gap below the number plates. Not too sure about the front plate, may have to bust out the 3D printer. Looks great Cole!

This is a great year. Great job so far!

Well done. It looks neat.

This motivates me I have in my shop a 96 cr250 that belonged to my grandpa so i have sentimental attachment but havent worked on it

Such a sick bike, love the looks of the 90’s bikes

Bike is lookin good man!!

I had a 95 cr125 super fun bike

Says the bike is extremely old! Hey! I remember buying one new.

Looking wicked

Looking forward to seeing you ripping it up

Brings back some memories

Man I love those things and also always enjoyed watching you Ride bud and wish you the best always bud #ColeSeely

That is right just about all the 90 and 80 look like that look right the way you have it

Does anyone remember the Renthal “Works Honda” rear sprocket design from that era? It was such a cool looking design. I still have an old one hanging in my garage.

Looks great! Love what you’re doing with content, always…I thought those two fender spacers you got would be for the rear, and it would space out the side plates to put the seat brackets behind the side plates?

You'll like having an 18 for the woods and the dunes if you take it out there. You can run a bit of a fatter and more side wall tire with the 18. I have a huge 18" paddle tire that we ran on a friends 93 cr500 in the dunes.

Ur side plates go on outside of seat bracket and that's how airbox looked!

Yes that is right is in the right place

Called the linkage on the brake stuff shown.

Hell yeah Cole ride red get head buddy

94 number plates had that gap. 95 number plates are a lil different and dont have that gap. Newer ones will fit. But requires you to drill a hole in your airbox

94 was last year with those rear panels 95' they went to the Fuller panels.. also you can put 95-96 rear panels

Hi Cole what size are the KYB forks 43 or 46 mill size great build

It is not an ECU, this is called CDI! 😉

I have a 94 CR250 sitting in my garage. Has not run in 5 year's. Has a bad kick starter gear.

front number plate is wrong, its from a earlier gen,

Clevis

If you need a carburetor I have one I have just been completely rebuild and ready to install I got it for my 95 125 would not work if you want it is free just shipping I can't use it

Put on front wheel flrst .

That's a 95 front end.
