After five years of nights and weekends, I’m finally done rebuilding my 1997 CR250—just in time for quarantine season! All that’s left to do is give it a final detail and preseason prep, and I’m ready to sit and look at it.
I like to strip the plastics, gas tank, and subframe for preseason detail to reach all the hard-to-reach areas. I’ll show you my routine, and since I have plenty of time, I will try out some products I’ve never used.
My full detail and prep article are here.
