Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and would appreciate some direction. Where would I find a crank rod kit for a '78 CR250. Thanks. |

Contact Racers' Toy Store (where I've been twice) or Crank Works and they'll find an IMS kit to fit. |

If my memory is correct the 1978-1980 CR250 share the same crank - or least the rod - with an early 80's ATC250R. And there is an IMS kit for the that. |

Vintage elsinores has them. Thats where I got my kit for my 1980 cr250. Its a Hotrod p/n. When you look up that part number on the Hotrods website it says for later models but it works. Someone got the calipers out and did some measuring. |

Honda, I believe, only sold the complete crank for the bikes. The rod, however, is the same as for the 1981-84 ATC250r. There are aftermarket rod kits for that. I bought two Vesrah kits off of Ebay, and Wiseco sells them as well. The rods definitely are not the same all Cr250 years through 2001. The 78-80 Cr250r rod is listed 64.4mm, the years after are listed at 72mm, with a different kit even then listed for 2002 on.. |

Ok Fellas... Who is right? Some say the rod kit from 78 to 01 the same. FTE sez the rod is the same as for the 1981-84 ATC250r. Who is right? Anybody have part #'s from Hot Rods, Vesrah, IMS, Pro-X ect? My "new" Elsie needs a rebuild. Thanks Stan WV |

Re-Mx has them for $109. This company shows 78-2001 the same. http://www.motoxparts.co.nz/motoxspares.php?price_image=1&category=0&brand=102&page=1&piece=1097 |

2 months ago i had a 78-80 crank to rebuild. send it to my shop here in germany. they installed a pro-x kit for 78-01. the orig. crankpin 78-80 is 58mm long, later models uses a 60mm crankpin. they shortend the pin for these 2mm and installed the kit. that´s the secret.

I stand corrected!  So a current oem kit will work with small mods, eh? |

Sent my Crank & cylinder to "The Racers Toy Store". Seem to be nice folks. After looking around for rod kits for this bike, I realized I had 2 kits for my 83 Cr250. An OEM & a Hot Rods. I send both with the crank. Will report back once I have reconditioned parts in hand. Thanks Michael for the heads up on the "Store"! Stan WV |
