Leave that swing arm gold. Gold on a 250r is super nostalgic

Love the fact the way your doing this rebuild and saving one more 250r out there

ROLL DESIGN IS LIFE

I’ll be watching this. Love your 250r and Z400 builds and I’m sure this will come out equally as nice.

Cool,another build series to follow,dont need to se every nut and bolt go in,but nice to hear the plan behind the build and reasoning for the parts beeing used.Personally i never moved away from the LTR after we got our first one,we have built a few from mild to wild and a few CRF and RMZ hybrids.Unfortunally not many 250 Rs for sale in my neck of the woods but i want to build one,and may have to take a route similar to yours to get it done :)

Exactly how I feel! I really enjoy watching in depth build videos but every now and then its nice to just get a brief overview. I really miss my LTR and wish I wouldn't have sold it. I almost got another one before I started this build but figure it will be much easier to get my hands on an LTR later this year than another 250r. The Z may go up for sale if I decide to go back to an LTR. How do you like the hybrids and were they fairly easy to build and sort out? Did you use the OEM LTR frames or did you go Walsh?

@@PatrickRiggs33 I did a lot of research before my first RMZ EFI build so i had a lot of options on how to build it and made my own more or less bolt in kit.I also built an LTR with a new 2018 CRF for this season with a mix of my own parts and motor mounts+alu tank for CRF fuelpump from Hamson racing,this engine can be fitted without frame mods with the right motor mounts and spacers.I do also have a 2013 Full Walsh CRF 450R.

Very cool! Did you go with the Elites or the Legacy?

Don’t like the blue gold doesn’t go with blue it goes with red and so will the white and your right about saving the original gold powder on the swing arm they are hard to find in good shape after you bake them they tend to crack around the carrier pinch bolts It’s always nice to start with a freshly powdered frame

Paint swing arm white

If you are doing a Husqvarna color scheme you could do the swingarm silver like they do?🤷🏼‍♂️

The gold will go really good with that blue frame, solid white plastics, and the white a-arms. Would be cool too if you could switch the handlebar color to a brushed-look or to match the gold as well.

Awesome video. Hope to see a KLX110 build soon. Digging the new KTM though.

@@BradMason2014 Ah that's cool, I have family that lives over in Palm Bay. We used to ride the compound all the time until it got shut down. We would make some pretty killer high speed grass turn tracks out there! I've never been to Mesa but their house is only 15-20 minutes away. I try to stay away from some of the bigger more serious MX tracks as I always tend to push it too much and get hurt. Split my helmet in half and blacked out for 5 minutes at Hardrock up in Ocala 😳. Definitely man, I usually ride Croom every weekend we will have to link up eventually 👍

Not to beat on full flights (I have a set myself), but u might try fireball a arms. They make pretty cool a arms and swingarms, you'd probably have o call them to get 250r stuff, but they are really good quality a arms. They make them in both standard travel and long travel
