    empty hole on side of engine?

    by crfbeginner » Wed Jan 10, 2007 4:28 pm

    i have a new 05 crf250r and on the right side of the
    of the engine underneath where it says unicam there
    is a hole where it looks like a bolt should be. the manual
    shows nothing. i don't remember if my 04 had this.
    i have gone riding once so far and no problems. is this
    hole normal?

    It's a drain hole from the spark plug hole on the top of the head.

    I think your looking at where the smog stuff goes on the Ca models.

    yep, it's a weep hole from the top of the plug. Just looks funny when you finally notice it.
