Starting the mods oh so soon!

Megadan · 04-17-2018, 03:10 AM

The mods never end. You will keep thinking to yourself, "ok, I will do this and it will be perfect." Then you find yourself thinking of something else you want to change a week later lol.

Finally got the part in.

A little face lift!

cool shirt... But you would sorta expect that from me.

Cravin01 · 05-06-2018, 11:43 PM

Thanks, I was kinda wondering if anyone was picking up on my shirts. Funny thing is I don't think I purchased but one. My wife and other family members get them for me for Birthday and Christmas etc.. God I've got a great family!

Looks much better with the black. Nice job.

This is the truest statement I have read on anything this year.

Rejetting after the Exhaust.

Nice video.

Thanks for the shout out. I use the rotary tool at least once a week. The flex shaft is the best part. Be sure to keep it lubricated.

I guess I never did answer the die grinder question.

Jerry's approach is a great one for a budget. I already have a die grinder on hand. I bought some different burrs, more or less the same ones as Jerry did, and a couple of bigger ones to reach certain areas. This is where the rotary tool flex shaft is handy, you can reach into areas much easier with one of those than you can with a die grinder.

I also used my hands and some sand paper, some emery paper, even some mini files.

I also used my valve guide hone set for the first time in ages, and shimmed the valve springs just a little thicker and properly lapped the valves in with multiple compounds. While not necessary, I figured I might as well go the full 10 yards and give every part a good once over.

You guys can call me Paul, The Cravin is my old "Medal of Honor", "Call of Duty" gaming name. I guess I should change it on the site here.

I found and read your entire thread on the head porting and I gotta say more came out of the port than I initially thought. The exhaust side doesn't even look like it could be the same head.

I'm sure it will make quite a difference and I bet your bike improved a lot Jerry.
I'm not going to pursue clearing this exhaust and muffler out any more, it will get a nice clean light new CRF exhaust and at that point I'll tackle porting.

I've never done any porting but I think it's well within my level of skill set. Plus I can just buy another one if I screw this one up.

I'll get it tagged this week and ride it a little more than I've been able too and see what I want to work on next, I have more ideas than cash on hand.

The rotary tool looks good Jerry. I was leaning toward a cheap die grinder but they kinda seem to be a little bit bulky and unwieldy.

The aftermarket exhaust start to finish with all the obstacles covered!

**JerryHawk250** · 07-06-2018, 08:15 AM

Good video

RedCrowRides · 07-06-2018, 08:24 AM

Looks 100% better with the Black parts ,makes you wonder what the original designers were thinking with some of the OEM color schemes .

Megadan · 07-09-2018, 01:16 AM

Don't feel bad about that bowl drain screw. I can promise you we have all done that at least once, or will sometime in the future!
