Thank you guys so much for growing us to 50k subscribers! Not the craziest video but I know you guys have been wanting to see the R in action. After watching my own footage I'm thinking the power valve needs some tweaking and still some jetting needs to be done. Thank you guys so much! 🤘

Might be a bit rich in air but definitely sounds crisp. My 250r rips all gears it’s amazing even though it’s a 250r it’s a monster and being a rider my boys don’t keep up on there 350 Banchee or the 450r the power bands on point. Honestly you should consider a counter wait that 250r is one of the most well built machines and you sir definitely brought this legend to life.💪🏻

I told you you needed an airbox and a good foam filter! I can't believe you were really going to run the thing without skidplates either. Lots of rocks at that place just waiting to go thru the cases.

Hey brother. Mike Allen here. Ive had my 87 250R, for three decades. I used to race at Daniel Boone motocross Park. And other tracks in Kentucky. I hallways thought my R was the nicest one i'd ever seen.Due to the care and attention to detail,i've been able to put in to it for so many years. Untill now. Super cool build brother. Yeah,i'm like you. The power should be a lil' better. Your having,either a ring size issue (mine has the ring size issue as I type this). Due to me rebuilding it and not remembering the ring size ,after a decade ago,of my overhaul-bore. Or you've got a power valve issue.The latter ,most likley. I've just started getting back in to playing with my R. I bought a new 2008 700xx. And I love the torque.Anyways.Good job bro.Super nice bike brother

Congrats Mike for reaching 50k. Happy for you !!!

Bruh it’s good seeing the quad out in the trails 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥

Love the vids keep up the work and also the 250r project is amazing

Awesome video Mike 👍 and that riding location looks fun to go ripping, love it 🤙

It seemed odd that you went without an air box. I was thinking you weren"t gonna trail ride kinda watch where you took it.

Mike really sending it love that that thing is running good glad it was nothing serious when it blew id also put an airbox if i were you some water mud and its fried again

Man unveil the quad challenge already! I'm just dying to see what you guys got!!!

Looks and sounds great, love the trails system you have, Next time should also mount a camera on grab bar back

Yea I'd put that Airbox on the bike and keep it on...Drill a couple holes if needed ....that's what I do...but it's not worth taking the chance ! You got alot invested man...I'm surprised you dont got more Subscribers!! It takes time but your killin it! 🤘

Congrats 50k mike!

Congrads on the 50k subscribers

Glad to see it went right this round it didn't blowup the top end again sounds great

Thats the reason i don't run open pod filters on my banshee. I bought pod filters ran them on my banshee for one trip and then went back to my stock air box I was sucking up water like crazy.

If you like how it handles in that terrain, some tight twisting trials will have you in love! That’s were the r’s shine, same with the track! They also put the power to the ground better than the banshee.

I hope he's got that thing tune right sounds great

Such a sick machine!!

Awesome that sound is great to the ears 🤟🤟🤟👍

The coal mine trails look like something im missing in my life haha great video 🤙

Run your air box when your trail riding around water and such things... All the other places where you dont have to worry about interfering with the filter, run it open like at the dunes just make sure to run a pre-filter and keep it oiled and keep an eye on it they'll fill up with sand if you over oil or are just chucking sand on it all the time. I like the open look, hate the problems that can happen...lol! Hey live and learn, shit happens!!! Good rule of thumb always bring another filter never know when you'll need it, can save you time and a lil bit of frustration!!! Always pack a fix it kit extra spark plug, tire plug kit few tools that might help if your stuck, you can make one up pretty cheap and can save you if your in the middle of nowhere stuck....Something else I've learned the hard way, give yourself a bit of space between your riding buddy and you when your behind them, I've had a baseball sized rock hit me in the knee from a IT465 Roost made me damn near jump off the bike. I was out for a couple weeks cause of it!!! Stay up keep the rubber side down!!!! Oh yea and another good job getting it fixed up hope you got it dialed in, sweet machine bro, great touch on every bit!!!

Man I was about to sell my air box. Something told me to hold onto it though. Thanks again mike.

Sounds great 👍 I think it sounds like you need to gear up a little would love to see you at a track but dam mud holes anyway lol great video

So what oil did you end up deciding to run in it? Did you stick with klotz or did you try the amsoil saber?

Get on it mike!!! She’s a beauty

love the 250r!

Loved the 250 absolutely a beautiful bike considering on doing a build myself which do you prefer this bike or a banshee please respond love your vids

Nice ride. Sucks about the tire tho. Great job on the build of that bike. 🤘👊

What is the jetting your running at. I'm a lil bit north of you in ny and also have a esr 310 and I'm at 178 main 45 pilot dgh 4 clip

Super Lit!🤍

Yo man what start/ killswitch do you got? also how did you get it to kill it by pressing the start button mine does not do that and i dont have a kill switch so it kinda sucks

awesome videos Mike! i would like to see more of the quad during the riding. maybe the camera on the side of your helmet would be a better perspective. thanks.

Make a custom air box for the air filter. You need it for the water and it keeps the filter cleaner also. Good luck. Nice build.

Nothing like a 2 stroke engine 🔥

Amazing video Mike, that 250r sounds crisp ,you did a great job on this build man also what temp gauge are you running ?

let that thing eat man, stand some wheelies up, give the fans what they want!

2 builds later. Sounds good 💪🏼

When you order your new wheels for the bigger tires make sure you get 4+ one offset for the front

Awesome ride. GBC X MC masters will be your friend. Im running the kenda bear claws on my raptor in the rear because of the terrain by me. But shit dude look into the GBC XC Masters......great tire....little heavy but they are 6 ply and can take a fuck load of abuse.....and half the price of the holes holeshots. They hook up in anything.

Nice video...What kinda action camera are you using?

good thing you put that skid plate back on lmao told you so again lol

I kept my stock air box with a uni water sucks been there done that love the r brother

Dude you definitely need to put your air box back in the trx and drill some holes and get foam filter on it also look into GBC tires that what some of our local pro GNCC racers use down in Florida also plan a trip down to Florida chrome trails or Florida track and trails great place to open up that trx309 up also how’s that Amsoil chainsaw oil holding up

Bike sounds awesome. Send those shocks out to be spec'd to you. They will be so much better

The one thing I want to know is how that suspension felt after being built to your weight and riding ect and did you have to adjust the fox floats before riding?

@F5Tornado44

3 жыл бұрын

Being a retired pro ATV racer, I can tell you there's nothing like riding a vehicle with suspension that's tuned to your weight and riding style. That's the first mod I recommend anyone get, before a pipe, or reeds, or porting, anything. Suspension first. I'm guessing he didn't touch the shocks, but could've went with a little lighter compression and faster rebound for the trails.

Awesome quad! Shine her up, throw some sand tires on and you will be ready for Little Sahara! ;)

good video

1)What kind of reeds are you running? 2)Does your power valve have auxiliary springs like KTM/Husky?

Wow that sucks. But that what happens when your really riding right? Hope you didn't get hurt.

Seems like you have your gears for mid to high that machine will never be running at top speeds in trails. I believe in my opinion you should set that beast for low to mid gears so it’s ripping how it wants to especially open air box. My 250r I just cut a nice hole used a elbow and did a cool ram air that keeps water out works great for trail riding. Glad she’s up and running 💪🏻

Princess quad 😂😂😂

Hey man nice video. What’s the name of that place. Love to go riding there.

What kind of boots do you ride in?

When will you take it out to the MX track..?

you need to get you some GBC xc masters for trail riding dude . then an mx bike becomes versatile lol oh and put a pre filter skin over the air box

congrats on 50k !!! just curious how come no clutch? just noticed you weren't really using it? thumbs up bro.

Also look into ceramics bearing more horsepower and less shifting

Maybe you should put the same amount of money in the Shee suspension/handling to make a fair comparaison. Nice video.

Building a 87 TRX250R right now but I’m making it for woods. I have an led pipe ordered but it won’t be here for months, it’s all stock right now even down to the pipe. Been thinking of doin the Sphinx 300 has anyone rode one of those?

Steve Banda Shouldn’t take months for an LED pipe, maybe a few weeks. I have an LED Sphynx 300 and 250C raw pipe that I just got a few weeks ago. Haven’t put it all together yet to try out, but hopefully soon. There is very little info out there on the Sphynx 300, because for the same price you can get a 344 or 363. And most go with that.

Shaun I’m not sure if it’s because I got the chrome pipe. When i ordered a few weeks ago I got an email saying to expect to be delivered in 12-15 weeks! I’m just trying to get the best performance I can without having to get the cases bored. I tried and couldn’t find much info on the 300 either. Just a post on a forum that a pro Xc rider was using that setup and it was making 50-55 hp. Does that seem right?

@@stevebanda8776 They do have two guys doing pipes now, which is great. But I'm sure chrome is going to delay things a bit for you. And a few weeks ago was peak sales in like 10 years! You don't have to bore your cases for the Sphynx 300, but I decided to because I didn't want the skirt to be cut down to fit. It's a nikasil cylinder without a sleeve, so all you would have is thin aluminum there. If you don't want to open the bottom end up, I would honestly just get a CEO non-PV ported they way you want from Arlan. Performance would be the same as the Sphynx. I just wanted a high quality CPI casting and Nikasil bore for better heat dissipation. Either of these should put out 50-55hp. My friend had just a regular LED ESR 300 (non-CEO) with a 250C pipe on race gas from Arlan and it dyno'd around 52hp.

You should look into taking a trip to the Hatfield McCoy trails in WV they are a lot better not since they widened it for sxs and atv's that thing would rip.

I noticed you don't use the clutch a lot when shifting

Need some 6ply Holeshots!

Ya , it needs to be on a mx track , that's what it was built for it will shine there

If it’s an Mx quad take it to the track

Yeah man open air filter no good. I run a air box and have plenty of power just rejet. Also run your carb hoses that loop up and over the carb up to the upper shock mount and zip tie them up there. The reason there lopped is so water dosnt suck in but unless there up you can still get water sucked in there.

put computer fan or two on radiator so u can turn it on while ur not riding so u can still cool it down and have turned on quad
