Upgrades for a 1992 XR250R

Hey, I ride a XR250R and it is in great shape, but everything is stock. Because the bike is a fairly old bike (14 years), I was wondering what upgrade kits are out there for this bike. I am not too familiar with specific bike parts, but would new pistons, rings, and having the carb cleaned increase the acceleration of the bike. Or are the pipes out there that would signifigently give me a power increase? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Agian, I am looking for upgrades that would increase the bikes acceleration rather than topspeed.

Best bange for the buck on a thumper is increased displacement. I'll bet there are some kits out there for you 'ol XR.

A good pipe will help. I have a FMF megamax and 135 mainjet.
Suspension work will help you make the most of the power.

Wow, thanks a lot guys, which would be better to buy first, the pipe or the bore kit?

It's a 14 year old bike so there is a very good chance that it needs a top end anyway so the bigbore is the logical place to start.

Nice, yea I am hoping to get a lot of power from this bore kit so i can keep up with my friends on thier Cr 125's.

If You Can Afford It,i Would Upgrade To A 96 Or Newer 250,and Then Add A 280 Kit,impressive.

My old 1986 XR250 needed a top end rebuild so I had Forward Motion go oversize (2mm, I think) on the bore/piston to 263cc. I received a large improvement in the mid range pull even with that small increase.

PB8000, 280 kits seemed to be very popular here in Oz. These produced more power pretty much across the rev range and with cam work could be used to extract quite a bit more HP. Beware of super big kits and wild cam grinds as these made the bikes unreliable and pigs to start. A friend used a 280 with std CR250 forks and after market rear spring and it was a quick little bike in tighter bush. Good luck with the mods.
