Price reduced from $75 to $60.
John ReikesParticipantPrice reduced from $100 to $80.
September 30, 2015 at 9:15 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #54962John ReikesParticipantI still have some stuff for sale. I just significantly dropped the prices on almost everything that still remains. Check the first post for updated pricing and availability.
August 28, 2015 at 10:31 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #53553John ReikesParticipantRadiator is sold, but the carbon fiber radiator shroud / duct and cooling hoses are still for sale. Just updated everything in the original post.
August 26, 2015 at 11:37 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #53438John ReikesParticipantResponded to Mark and marked wheels and hubs as sold. Also just added pics to the original post for a bunch of the remaining items.
August 26, 2015 at 9:48 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #53436John ReikesParticipantMore stuff sold, so I updated the original post and re-ordered the list so the sold stuff is at the bottom. I also dropped prices on a few things.
August 11, 2015 at 8:35 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52713John ReikesParticipantSorry, I do not. I just have the gas jug for sale. The gas tank I had sold with the chassis.
August 10, 2015 at 9:07 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52673John ReikesParticipantChassis is gone. The T-2 axle may be going to the kart buyer soon, but it is still available for now.
August 7, 2015 at 7:01 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52539John ReikesParticipantThe MyChron is now listed as an auction on eBay. It’s currently only at $202, so head over there now if you want it.

The auction closes Wednesday, Aug. 12.
Also, there’s a deal in the works for the CRG shifter roller. If you were thinking of reaching out to me about it, now’s the time.
August 5, 2015 at 2:25 pm in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52470John ReikesParticipantDropped the price on the MyChron.
August 3, 2015 at 9:03 pm in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52367John ReikesParticipantTires and carb kit are sold. Also, I don’t want to get into shipping one gear at a time, so gears are now only available as bundles. The original post has been updated accordingly.
August 3, 2015 at 10:56 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52327John ReikesParticipantSteve — the long hubs are 115mm and are double-bolt.
July 29, 2015 at 9:12 am in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52087John ReikesParticipantSniper V2 and Sparco kart cover are sold.
Also, I brought the price of the MyChron down.
July 28, 2015 at 9:50 pm in reply to: Getting out of karting sale (includes CRG shifter stuff) #52073John ReikesParticipantI responded to all of you by PM.
A quick note to everyone though… I made sure to give fair prices here, so please don’t send low-ball offers. Most of this is stuff is like-new for 1/3 less money. The stuff that’s not like-new is priced accordingly. I don’t have a commercial shipping account, so no need to ask me what shipping will cost. Feel free to go to the UPS website and check for yourself — it’ll ship from 91604.
John ReikesParticipantHonda hasn’t really pushed the CR250 platform. They wanted it because the tooling for the old cR125 engines is wearing out (it wasn’t designed to build engines for 15 straight years), but the big organizers didn’t like the idea.
Lots of people on here hate the idea of switching to 4-stroke. I think it’s a combination of basic fear of change (though everyone says it’s fear of over-revs) and vendors fearing the fact that it has the potential to be much more reliable and potentially puts them out of the tuning business. The over-rev issue can potentially be solved with a slipper clutch, but that does add more $ to the initial investment.
If it does ever happen, the new Yamaha 250 motor is the way to go, not the Honda motor. The Yamaha HP is roughly on par with a KZ motor plus the intake and exhaust are correctly positioned for a kart setup (unlike any of the Honda engines). As far as I can tell though, Yamaha doesn’t sell the engines by themselves.
July 23, 2015 at 8:52 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #51800John ReikesParticipantI had a couple people lined up to buy the kart and thought it was a done deal, but both seem to have fallen through. It’s still for sale and still hasn’t been driven since March. I haven’t even broken in the top end. If it doesn’t sell before the August ProKart race at Adams, I’ll probably bring it out and run in that race.
June 15, 2015 at 8:49 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #49876John ReikesParticipantHi John — I tried calling you yesterday and sent you an email with my contact info. Let me know if you don’t get the email for some reason.
May 29, 2015 at 9:13 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #49076John ReikesParticipantOkay folks, dropping the price again. It hasn’t been driven since March and is still cherry. $8,600 now.
April 16, 2015 at 1:26 pm in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #46197John ReikesParticipantI’m located in Studio City (Los Angeles). You’re in Moneterey?
April 8, 2015 at 7:53 pm in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #45746John ReikesParticipantJust dropped the price again. Guys — this is seriously as close to a brand new kart as you can get without dropping way more money on a brand new kart. And it’s got everything top-of-the-line.
March 18, 2015 at 11:25 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #44356John ReikesParticipantI updated the original post to reflect updated hours on the engine. I ran a race a couple weekends ago, so the total engine time went up slightly, but I did a top end refresh (new piston/ring/gaskets/etc) after the race.
March 1, 2015 at 10:49 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #43243John ReikesParticipantI’m getting a few people pinging me via PM about splitting it up and selling either the roller or the engine package. I don’t want to end up with a bare chassis or bare engine sitting in my garage for a long time. So if I go that route, I’m going to need to coordinate the chassis and engine sales to happen at basically the same time.
I would be willing to break it up for the following prices:
Engine package for $3,600. This would include the MRC engine mount and all of the stuff bolted to the engine (the carb, SKUSA pipe/mount, silencer/mount, etc.) as well as the fuel pump and ignition system.
Rolling chassis (with the seat and Douglas wheels) for $5,600.
One more thing… I’m considering doing next weekend’s race at Willow Springs, so the engine time might go up by an hour or two if I don’t get any firm commitments in the next couple of days. If I do run the race at Willow Springs, I will refresh the top end after the race for the buyer (with a new piston, ring, cir clips, wrist pin, head gasket and base gasket).
February 23, 2015 at 10:14 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #42885John ReikesParticipantStill for sale. Price reduced again.
January 12, 2015 at 2:35 pm in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #40349John ReikesParticipantBob, If someone buys the kart and doesn’t want the stand, then I will be. But until the kart sells, I need to hang onto the stand.
January 12, 2015 at 7:49 am in reply to: *SOLD* 2014 CRG Braga shifter w/ '01 MRC engine (duralcan brakes, mag hubs) #40322John ReikesParticipantPrice reduced to $9,400.
