1984 250 WR Swingarm needed - where to find?

I have acquired a basket-case 1984 250 WR, it looks to be pretty much all there, except the swingarm. I am looking for a swingarm, and wondering what years might be compatible with the 1984 model, if any. I know the 1983 looks similar.... Anybody???

The '83 & '84 WR swing arms are the same. The cr swing arm is longer. Where to find one? eBay or post wanted in the classifieds here.

Try Andy at HVA.

There was one for sale at Harberton on Sunday!

Got an article number for me? I might be able to source it from somewhere in Europe?

Could do with one myself! At a push, you could modify a CR swing arm by adding the 2 vertical slots on the bottom of the right side to take the rear brake tie strip - but the arm is a little longer...

I may have one. I will do some measuring to see what I have.

swingarms CR = + 30 mm !

i have a pile of swingers i could dig thru if you end up not being able to find one. i do remember seeing two different lengths. the xc and cr share same lengths, right? the cr should have no kickstand?

No CR has kickstand too

thank you, i had wondered about that, as sometimes the kickstand and or chain roller tensioner bracket has been removed rather expertly! sometimes not so expertly...

My swingarm is messed up......sorry about that.

I have one to sell,21.5" pivot to middle of axle.

The 1984 or at least the last series have a sort of pusher bolt on the chain side to kind of assist the chain adjuster.

There are a lot of parts in a swingarm assembly if it is missing. Having bought the o rings, bearings, and hard parts the bearings ride on for probably more than a whole "swingarm" goes for now on ebay I know. Then there is the thing that puts some tension on the chain.

Chain tentioner, lower twin roller guide, upper roller. The WR swing arm is shorter I think.

Without the chain rollers and guides in place the chain can come off if not tentioner correctly and crack the case where the clutch lever housing is. If ever shopping for a new case check the picture out in the clutch lever area on the case.
Using JB Weld is a famous repair in this area. My son lost the chain on the 430wr and it cracked the case.

It pays off to have all the rollers in place. Or tentioner the chain correctly not too tight, not too loose.

Most have done well with just the chain tensioner. My engines do not have that kind of damage and I have 6 of them kicking around

you have to let the chain get waaay loose or let the chain get weak and break. it does happen as i have several of those cases laying around in the pile. just have to adjust the chain or at least look at it each ride. ill admit i do like running all the rollers and tensioners.

Sometimes during a ride in doing loops or big circles we can get caught up in the moment and let's say not think for a second or a roller falls off. I never had it happen to me but it happens when the adreniline and the urge to keep riding takes over. With that said check your chain tentioner and chain sliders/rollers often.
Remove able loctite is your friend.

Thanks!
