I am located in Australia and I think they are a bit harder to come across here unfortuanlty, do you know if the newer cb250 engines slide into the same frame?

Hello everyone, I have a 1975 Honda CB250. I have never had this bike running but from looking at the engine I am sure it’s been thrashed out and I do not have the budget to rebuild it. Would it be possible if any other engine would slide straight into the frame? Newer preferably

how would a straight pipe go on this, a proper one that goes to the rear not a short one? i have the header pipes but but i don't have the actual mufflers and i don't wanna spend heaps on new ones

Cafe racer style, but i wanna give it an army green tank and rear hump and maybe keep a few little parts rusty and clear coat them, try and give it a dirty but fast look. Im gonna use a lighter wire wheel on the engine so it doesn't scratch the crap out of it.

Hello everyone, I picked up someone else's unfinished CB250 project yesterday. all the parts come with the bike but everything is rusted so i got the wire wheel out and got to work, I'm almost half way through but still a lot to go. The guy said the engine was running a year ago and it still has...

I don't mind spending a couple hundred, first thing ill do is check the compression and cam chain to make sure its okay. he extended the swing arm but said i can have the stock one too. Yes its coming into winter here so if the bike is being worked on for 3 or 4 months it doesn't bother me even...

He said it was running before he stripped down to do paint and to do the custom seat. it looks to be in good condition on the outside. He said he hasn't got time anymore to do it up so i said id swap my running Honda CB100 for it and said yes. He was originally selling the project bike for $1000...

it also has an extended swing arm so i will need an extended rear brake rod and chain and comes with all the parts to get it running. i just don't want another money pit as thats what my CB100 has been

Hey everyone, I'm in need of some help, i might be swapping my CB100 for a CB250 1975. It is a half finished Cafe racer with an extended swing-arm, i will attach a picture. the guy said it was running perfectly when he took it apart to paint and comes with all the parts and spares to put it back...

thank you, i will get onto that tomorrow. fixed one thing then another problem pops up, when the bike is idling every now and then it sounds like the cam chain is rattling around, i have got the tensioner on the max, could the tensioner be broken? i accidentally took the tensioner bolt out all...

If i pull throttle to fast it will try and bog down but i do it reasonable speed its okay and revs up good. The spark plug is black and i don't need choke to start the bike. will being too rich in mixture bog the bike? Im not sure what to do.

i know nothing about jetting, the carby is stock, I ended up adjusting the timing and its worked good since then.

Re: Piglet is Finished. 72 CL100 hey man, the bike looks killer, did the aftermarket front fender bolt straight in or was it custom made?

i was wondering what those other two lines were. I will see if i can borrow a timing light from somewhere, I do have he contact plate in just the right place for it to start first kick and idle perfect. i took it up the road and up a hill and put a load on it and it pulled good and sounded like...

the manual said that i needed to put the flywheel on the F mark and then spin the contact points plate until the buzzer goes out on the continuity tester and thats when the spark occurs, thats where it ended up and the bike runs great. im just hoping im not destroying anything in the engine. I'm...
