This summer before college I was looking to pay some things off, so I sold my 2009 Kx450 and bought this MINT 2002 Cr250. Everything was stock except the bars.
I put threw on new tires, an 09' fender and # plate, new handlebars and then sent my suspension out to John Korea at East Coast Suspension (formerly MXTECH in Enon Valley, Pa.) ... I have to give a big shout out to John, he killed it because i'll tell you what, this 10 year old bike handles night and day better than most I have had, including my 05' yz 250. Now if we get talking about the motor, welllll thats a different story... It runs like a 125, if its not on the pipe, you're done. I did a few things that should help on low end.
I raced the bike twice, loved it, and broke my wrist. I knew i wouldn't be riding much, so thanks to Dominos Pizza in Slippery Rock and World of Wheels in Seneca, PA, i tore her down and did a full rebuild while healing up over the ****ty PA winter months. I started from a frame and bottom and heres what it got:

I put some fresh gas with castor 927 premix in it yesterday, and it fired up the 3rd kick! I'm ready for the snow to melt so i can ride this thing!
