    These bikes are awesome!! I have also done a bit of work to mine. I am at about 3000 miles at the moment and it is still running strong. I use it to commute a 75 mile round trip daily when it is not raining. With what I have done to it, I can cruise between 65&70 when needed with no issues.Great purchase, I have learned a lot about motors owning one of these and I don’t regret it. Great video!

    Hey man my names Garrett Reynolds I just bought an rps hawk 250 replaced the carb, voltage regulator, spark plug, exhaust and ignition coil it will start but and idle ok but it surges and cuts out at certain points and when I give it throttle it absolutely falls on its face. I have tried every combination of needle depth and air fuel mixture possible nothing has worked. I assumed that the next thing I replace should be the cdi so I have a black box for a crf230 coming from eBay. I’m hoping that this solves my problem but I am not sure. I have also adjusted the valve clearance to 0.006. I hope this makes it run I haven’t been able to ride it yet. If you have any tips let me know thanks for your time man

    • @Jboost412
      @Jboost412  2 года назад +2

      Glad to hear you’ve been able to get back to riding!! I went down hard years back on one of my R6’s met the highway at 65ish mph wasn’t a very pretty sight 🤦‍♂️ as far as carburetors go nowadays I really have to recommend the pe28FL I did a review on a few months back it’s a direct fit flange style carb but with the typical Nibbi quality so definitely a nice addition to one’s bike to replace that pz30/vm26 clone carb that’s stamped 30mm but is really more so a 25mm carb!! Swing arms & forks I have a video on the topic here somewhere on my channel I’ll say first off you could technically use any fork set or swing arm you’d like but by far the easiest upgrade is using the 91-96 Honda XR250L version for the forks it has to be a L model or you won’t have the provision for a ignition or gauge cluster which all swapped right over from the chonda setup to the Honda then you need a new wheel speed sensor which I have linked in said video along with wheel bearings if you choose to use the China wheels since the Honda axles are much larger in diameter the swing arm can be from a 91-96 xr250 L or R model and you’ll just have to decide again if you want to use the Honda rear caliper & bracket along with a rear Honda xr wheel if you choose to use the China bike wheel in the back no biggie you’ll just need to cut the Honda brake mount on the swing arm a bit to allow the China bike caliper to fit correctly which was what I did here since xr250 wheels ended up being hard to find at least when I did my swap it was so a little work with a grinder & cut off wheel the factory caliper worked fine and still doesn’t give me any kind of issues today thanks for being a part of my channel!! And if there’s anyway I can help you with your build definitely don’t hesitate to ask!!

    • @EurynomusBH
      @EurynomusBH 2 года назад +1

      Awesome. Thank you so much for the in depth response.
      It's great to have been able to jump back on a bike so quick and the TBR7 was super easy to get. I've not had any major complaints with the bike over the 2 years I've been daily riding it as a year-rounder, including winter months with snow.
      I had actually watched the video about the PE28FL as well. I'll go ahead and order this. I think I'm going to keep the air box though instead of a pod filter because I do occasionally have to ride in heavier rain.
      The XR250L stuff is exactly what I had been browsing for. I'll also keep an eye out on wheels but can find replacement stock wheels on PartsKit for like $50 each in a pinch.
      Also wanted to ask if you've noticed random spots of frame rust; especially on the (stock) swing arm and weld areas. When I notice some popping up I wire brush it and go over the area with a rattle can. It seems to 'fix' the job and I've not noticed the spots of rust come back in those areas. The repaint isn't even noticeable which is great.

      Edit: So looking back over your suspension upgrade video it looks like the triple clamp on that XR500R and 600R don't have the mounting spots for the ignition and cluster unfortunately. Sucks because could get them for dirt cheap.
