Needs nothing but careful break-in of its new top end ... this bike is still on its original brake pads and has been through only one and a half rear tires

Newly installed with 0 hours/0 miles: Wiseco piston/rings/pin, Honda wrist pin bearing, PV shaft seal, Cometic high compression gasket kit, bead blasted power valves, piston clearance is .0015" (Wiseco minimum), squish clearance is 1.45 mm (better than sloppy stock squish)

Newly installed with 0 hours/0 miles: Regina gold o-ring chain, 13T front sprocket, 51T aluminum rear sprocket

Newly installed with 0 hours/0 miles: Dunlop 739 front tire, 756 rear tire, with Dunlop tubes

Newly installed with 0 hours/0 miles: Boyesen clutch cover

Newly installed with 0 hours/0 miles: Acerbis bodywork kit (red fenders and radiator shrouds, white side panels)

New fork oil, New silencer packing

Air box seal kit, V-Force reed cage, steel clutch plates, quiet FMF "Q" turbine spark arrestor silencer, brake pedal saver cable, Utah Sport Cycle bash plate, Works Connection radiator braces, Renthal bars and grips, fork SealSavers, FastWay sprocket spacer

Always premixed with Motul 800 2T (usually with race fuel, sometimes a mix of race fuel/pump gas), transmission oil changed frequently with Bel-Ray GearSaver, air filters oiled with No-Toil and changed frequently

Chassis fully disassembled when new and all bearings lubed, low hours since linkage bearings were last lubed

Never power washed, never ridden in sand dunes or salt water or at Clear Creek

Trail damage: dinged rear wheel, dinged pipe, squashed radiator, rad louvres removed, rear disk guard removed, no leaks, no problems, rode straight and stable at over 79 mph on last ride

Turns great, very light, compliant suspension, slow single track or fast whoops, ripping motor, awesome throttle response, starts easily, bulletproof, great brakes, quiet, smokeless

2002 through 2007 the CR250 got only minor changes so getting a newer one gets you nothing but a red sticker instead of green

Selling to divest myself of products of the evil empire of Honda (great bikes, bad company trying force four-stroke shitpiles down our throats)

I really want to return this green-sticker-forever bike to a 2T lover in CA; it's currently stored in NV

Last night I reviewed my maintenance journal and totalled up the hours: sixty (60) cumulative hours on the bike. That's 1,200 miles at my usual pace.

Broken in at Argyll Park, ridden a few times at Carnegie, and all other rides at Moonrocks.

Based on the condition of the stock piston and bore, I wouldn't think about another top end for 100 hours. Perhaps rings at 50 if you want to be conservative.

Act now and receive this free two-stroke tune-up kit with your purchase:

Looks like it's in great shape!

What do you mean by green stickerable? Is it a CA title but registered in NV?

CA title/pink slip, never registered anywhere but CA. I let the registration expire after moving to NV.

As a 2002 model, it's the last year eligible for a green sticker for year-round riding. 2003 and later two-strokes and many four-strokes get red stickers.

I just ordered a clutch cover and plastics. I guess dirt bikes are like street bikes, resale is all about the cosmetic condition.

I want to lend it to a friend this weekend but I don't want to put any wear on the new tires, chain, etc.

Added new pictures with new Acerbis bodywork and new Boyesen clutch cover. Price is going up if I can edit it.
