Cheers, I've asked if it's off the 250 R. Aaarh.

I'm still trying to get clarification on the tardme shock and looking elsewhere I could have close to a Kg of hens teeth but the shocks are slim on the ground.

I dunno, owning old, rare (ish) bikes comes with a few problems now and again.

Still trying to figure out why it snapped in the first place, possibly a seized linkage. Hitting super cross whoops in 5th may not have helped.. Yeah, right.

Most likely, there was no rebound damping due to the shock being a million years old. Thing got sick of topping out at warp factor nine, and let go.

I tend to think of myself like that, rather than the bike, with this Enduro lark.

But, yeah. It's a 93, had a DIY re-gas more than 15 years ago so definitely not the freshest. The bike is probably being thrown at rougher stuff now than at any time in the past. It's had mainly road use with UK trail rides and managed the huge distance of 20'000km in all that time. Poor thing, great bike, though.

I owned a CRM250 a few moons ago when I lived in The Hutt. The thing was mental fun. Best part was riding legally on roads through the valley and then when opportunities presented themselves, jumping onto the gravel and giving it a handful before jumping back onto the road ahead of a dozen or so cars you were previously following. River Road, FTW!

If I could buy that level of reliability, practicality, comfort(ish), performance and fun in one new bike that was 20kg lighter I would bite the dealers hand off.

Oh. Must be a 2t. There in lies the rub.

Make it a Japanese 300cc and I'll fight you for it.
