100% did this and it's so incredibly worth it. Two things I did differently...used SW Motech light mounts and replaced the switch with a $10 waterproof/illuminated handlebar toggle from Amazon...massive improvement on my '21 Versys 300. THANK YOU!
At 9:22 you put a retainer on for the cam chain tensioner.. I'm currently rebuilding an '01 XR250R and I don't remember there being one of these retainer clips in mine. It also appears as though no one sells this retainer clip. Do you have any idea if this is a necessary component?
@joelblizzard160 the part number is 14515-KK0-010 and it's still available from parts houses.
The Axle assembly should come in from the left side of the swing arm.
Thx today i installed the same one work great 🎉🎉🎉 thx for the video
Just moving the shifter flexed the entire bracket.. the Bracket needs to be steel.
Ty man...awesome video...I'm going to get some
Any video plans for the tail light and license plate?
Theres a video on that
Hi, thanks for the good videos and I do similar stuff on my bikes. A quick question, where did you get that Speedo bracket from please? I'm in England. Thanks.
Bracket is from ebay. There's a video on my channel about it
@@WeekendAdventureRides thanks 👍
I have a 2006 Harley Davidson sportster that I just installed forward controls and the break side wouldn’t work with the exhaust that I have on the bike so I had to buy a extended bracket to make it work
Theres a video about it on my channel links to product will be in description. It's a product off ebay.
To recover it
I have not used my XR-250 for more than a year Since it stopped suddenly . please let me know what action I should take.
Uhhh. That's not enough information for me to really give you much advice. Check that you didn't run it out of oil.
Kit how to order?😊
OEM parts house. I used honda parts direct
Bro how to order that kit thank you
Ebay
I just did this on my 2003 XR250R, its a really fun bike!
Sure enough not showing the tough part.
@starlord872 which part did you want to see? I filmed the whole thing. If I show all of it, you guys would complain about how long and boring the video was.
hello, great video, thanks. are you still happy with the bags? just ordering now but they are about 60 E.
The best bags out there for adventure riding
@@WeekendAdventureRides thanks so much for you answer. Ride safe
Hi sir im from philipines how to order a overhaul gasket for xr250r?
You would have to do it through an OEM distributor
Saving the day 🎉 thanks for the information ℹ️
What year is this motor?
@@danielheilker2970 94
Are you running the tall or short prism sissy bar?
@DerrickAronhaltOfficial I built this one, it's close to 24" tall
why does everyone paint things, powdercoat it so it'll actually be worth your time. im over people painting frames to try & make it look nice to sell then wears off in one good ride lol
You are not wrong. It's more about what you have available and what you can afford. In a perfect world, powdercoating is the correct option. I'm in the process of putting together a powder coating set up and posting videos on that process.
@@WeekendAdventureRidesI’m kinda dumb, but what will the powder coating oven temps do to the temper of the spring? Probably nothing but that be something I thought about.
@@walkercaver5691 temp doesn't get that hot. 20 min at 400 degrees
I've been in a weird place for a while on forwards. I've wanted them but couldn't see paying the "Harley fee" for oem co tools, but also have been burned by the Amazon knock-offs in the past. This video was perfect and I did as you suggested, through a combination of recycling the hardware from the mids and bought some bits at the hardware store. Drenched in loctite and torqued gingerly.
I have to disagree, it’s not a “modern” look. The sporty brow has been around for 40 years. It looks badass on an extended 35mm narrow glide front end on a shovel or a sportster.
Agree to disagree.
@@WeekendAdventureRides I mean there’s no wright or wrong answer lol, I wasn’t trying to come off like db, I just happen to be a fan of the stock xl visor is all. I love the AMF years, ugly mag wheels, crazy frank fenders, unsightly disc brakes ect. I can appreciate what you do as I’ve been fabricating for a living for the last 25 yrs and riding bikes for even longer. Knocked out a few custom headlight mounts in the past myself. My next build I was actually thinking of fabbing my own xl visor from scratch with some dimpled holes on each purchase area. Anyways, now I’m rambling on. 🤙
I did a Hybrid of this. I bought the TCMT. Any part in the kit that did not meet muster I placed aside and ordered the HD Part on Ebay. Once I got my parts to satisfaction I changed my Mids out and installed the Forward Controls. I then sold all the parts individually on Ebay and made my money back for the entire cost of changing them out. The Foot Rest Mounts seemed to be the weakest and like Pot Metal so they had to go. Certain bolts did not pass muster as well. I also went with an After Market Shift Rod that was superior to both TCMT and HD OEM. After Market Heel Toe Shifter and Brake Pedal was exchanged for TCMT or HD OEM versions. It was nice I broke even as the parts are in demand on Ebay.
my Motorcycle cant start, whats a problem?
That sounds like the problem... I can't do anything to help you with only that information, take it to a mechanic.
Hello from germany 🙂 Great work! I saw this and built the same thing yesterday. Therefore I found a 1" stainless steel sheet but my headlight is kinda shaking when the Sportster is running at low rpm. Did you have the same problem?
Yes, that's going to be an issue with the minimal support. May improve with some gusseting on the back of the mount.
Hey there! There is an oil seal already installed on the inner side of right side cover on 17:35. If it is possible, please provide me with its number or dimensions. Cannot find it in catalogue, neither on one installed now. Thanks in advance!
I purchased everything through honda parts direct. (Just Google search) You should be able to find all the seals in their diagrams.
great video bro
The answer is NO. I've bought these twice and have had both the rear brake lever and shifting rod bolts break
Yeah I've heard a few people say to change hardware out
Reassembling my xr250 I spent an hour digging thru drawers, checking bags of parts and crawling around on the floor, sweeping out the garage, checking the driveway, looking for the missing WRIST PIN BEARING!!!ARGH! I finally gave up when it got dark, super angry with myself for somehow losing this critical part.....and then went to try to order one.... lol. You may or may not realize that the problem is.... 4 strokes dont use wrist pin bearings.
Thanks for the video. How are they holding up till now?
It's still in pieces in my shop. Eventually it will be done
i got this same set on mine and honestly it does good just make sure to check the bolts that come with the kit regularly cause they love to come loose even with loctite i had one fall off on my shift linkage while riding lost the ability to shift and replaced the main bolts for shifting with some lowes specials and havent had a issue since
Thanks for the insight!
Thanks for pointing out the issue with the mounting position.
A question have the 84 XR 200 RFVC. Duel carb smokey on startup Suspect oil rings. And Valve stem seals have not rebuilt any 4 strokes is this the same engine only different displacement Cheers 🇦🇺.
The motor in the video is the 86-95 version. But the process is no different. If I were you, I would look online for a downloadable version of the shop manual.
Going to install same stuff in Saturday, thanks for tutorial, friend!
Oh, and quick tip for welding: grind a chamfer into the pieces to be welded if it’s gonna be a butt joint. This creates a 'bed' for the welding rod to fill in and increase the stability of the piece dramatically since you don’t just tack the outside of the plate together but fully fill it with material, making it almost like a solid plate. (Hope you got what I mean, my English isn’t perfect…)
For cutting out the square hole in the bracket, you could also use a jig saw with a metal blade, some cutting oil and slow cutting speed. Nice build though!
Anyone know if they sell different valves for heavier riders 230lbs
I havent been able to find any.
End gap. Piston ring end gap.
this is exactly what i need to do. sweet video, wish i would see how you ended up running your wiring
Ill be doing that in a future video
The rear brake pedal does not come with a dust seal for the pivot shaft?
Ill have to look at the diagram bur I believe I put it together exactly as shown in diagram
Man if you're showing an installation video it helps greatly to mention the socket size your using while performing a certain task
You are correct. I typically do a "tools you need" portion of the video and forgot to do that
My clutch is sloppy, brake solid scarey sht
You can adjust your clutch...
@WeekendAdventureRides Wow really bro? Didn't think you could adjust the cable the Fk'n think wobbles Not everyone here is a ID10T dude
The ID vs. THE O.D is off,I could machine an insert to take up the inner play.But it's adjust so I am good.
@WeekendAdventureRides And a heads ups,no need to reuse your old bolts to fill the threaded holes,they supply plastic inserts for you,the 4 little plugs
I wasn't calling you an idiot. Yes, I know what you mean. The shift lever tolerance is terrible.
Looking forward to next week!
I have a 1991 XLX 250R with this RFVC engine. Only one mechanic in my town accepted to rebuild it for me.
Thanks for this video , I'm swapping the 47mm Showas from a Honda CR250R spare set onto a 1982 Husqvarna 250CR , improving the long-legged desert flyer's already plush but dated handling performance and gaining the much needed disc brake!
This is fricking awesome brother love it ❤❤❤
Will these fit on my 2021 softail standard?
Check fitment through manufacturer
Will the parts in these links fit my 2002 Honda xr250r?
Double check part fitment on site but I believe that most of the parts will as they are mostly universal.
Can you list all the tools you used please 🙏
Yes I will add this to the video description, just give me a couple days to put it together.
Thank you!
