ANY HELP WELCOME thanks in advance Kev Hi , no the engine is not the same or even similar to the cr250, you shouldnt have problems with parts try sandifords honda/montesa or pidcocks honda
October 28, 201114 yr Author Cheers all the other parts came from sandifords but Iam afraid I dont wish to deal with them again but will try pidcocks. still not sure if they will supply a conrod kit but I will keep looking as I cant stretch to a new crank yet
October 29, 201114 yr Hi , no the engine is not the same or even similar to the cr250, you shouldnt have problems with parts try sandifords honda/montesa or pidcocks honda So was it just an urban myth that the cr250 had the same 315 bottom end?
October 29, 201114 yr i think the the clutch plates from one of the MX bikes fitted, maybe people jumped to a conclusion from that ? I think Honda only sell cranks for the MX bikes from memory but you can probably get aftermarket con rods, hopefully one will fit the 315 ?

October 31, 201114 yr I thought that was quite cheap! in comparison the sherco 250/290 crank is £486 That's because your a time traveler, where everything is more expensive in the future ! You need to adjust you clock, or TC does. Edited October 31, 201114 yr by B40RT

October 31, 201114 yr Hereabouts its only 7.17, but I always have been accused of living in the past ! Edited October 31, 201114 yr by B40RT
