That sounds a little tight... I'd pull the crank and press it apart. Send the washers to Glenn for grinding , and resaasmble it.

Ya, I'll get right on that,

Well, I think I have to stop drinking beer when I am working on my bikes, lol. I just looked closely and realized I did not get the feeler gauge all the way to the crank pin, just the top of the washer. There is another smaller washer/shim a little bit in that I wasn't accounting for. I can get a ...

how did you check for up/dwn play ?

can be hard to feel a couple thousandths unless the crank is firly secured and you use both hands to pull up/dwn. what i do to eliminate any error is put some feeler gauges on both sides of the big end to eliminate any flopping side to side then sucure crank ...

take this for what its worth but side play is my least concearn but i do have to say .052 seems like alot to me though considering its very possible it had .020 when new. i wonder if you have excess axial play also, which suggest the hole is getting wallered out on the ends.

prox rod used to be ...

There is no detectable play up and down though.



Run it, with 927' at 32:1

I wouldnt strip in down for 0.006" per side over spec.

The rod is the hardest thing to oil... not the piston.

OK, but I did have a crank come apart on me in a 125 a long time ago when the side clearance got out of ...

Thanks, just sent him a PM. Will see how it goes.

Just tore my engine down to send the cylinder away to get re-bored and checked the big end side gap on my crank and it is .052" Max in my manual is .040" so it looks like I am needing a new crank. There is no detectable play up and down though.

Service Honda has a new crank for $328. Will be ...

nice build why didnt you run the 450 aircleaner? :cool:

I ride in a lot of sand and wanted the best filter seal I could get. If I used the 450 filter, it would not match up with the 250 boot and I would worry about the seal. Also the 500 filter is slightly smaller and a lot easier to get in and ...

Well, I finally got around to weighting the 500AF, 237 pounds, ready to ride with no fuel. This is with all the guards on, and I still have heavy tires and a heavy steel JT rear sprocket. I am planning on changing to a dirt tricks steel sprocket, as the one on my 450 has held up real good and only ...

Finally got around to modding the 450 skid plate to clear the pipe and hangers. I stole the step seat and Cycra front number plate off the 08 450 for now. Also cleaned the bike up and took a few pics of how I have it now.

Lonewolf039 what was the weight with the 500 in the AF??

The 450 was 241 pounds with heavy Maxxis tires, HD tubes, hand guards, rad guards and a skid plate. After the conversion, with all the same guards and tires, but no skid plate, the weight dropped to 236 pounds. The steely was 255 all ...

We were actually planning on going to Brule for our camping trip, but the weather sucked so we went to BC instead. We are hoping to hit Brule once more before winter hits, but everybody is getting busy with work now. If you do go, let me know and I will try and get a couple of days off.

Pulled the ...

Just got back from a week long camping / dirtbiking trip. Rode the crap out of the 500. Burned two 5 gallon jugs of fuel. Bailed a couple of times on nice sharp BC rocks and dented the crap out of my new PC pipe, also put a small hole in my clutch cover. Bike ran great, although the power is down ...

Well, I've run one 5 gallon jug of gas through my bike and am working on the second now, and everything is good so far. Did some tight and twisty singletrack and a bunch of WFO sand trails and am loving the AF. It definetly handles different than when it was a 4 popper. I think most of the ...

97-01 CR250
98-01 CR125

These boots are the longest and will work best, although you might still require a reed spacer or rad valve to get the distances and alignment correct.

You will need to fab an adapter plate for the air box


I used a 99 cr250 airboot as well with my 05 450 conversion as ...

Well, I finally got my bike finished today. Went for a rip around the yard and chewed up my lawn, lol. It really feels a lot lighter than my 08 450R, but I don't have the skid plate and hand guards on yet, which my 450 has. I don't have a scale at the moment, but my 450 was 241 pounds with a 1/4 ...

My ears are burning :lol:

i can bore that baby, ya i use a torque plate, or can sell you one if you have to do it local.

too bad the twitts went so big :roll:

I like vertex pistons for anything above stock sizes, give me a shout at the shop when you get a chance 204-325-9853 Adam

I recently had the local shop bore my cylinder for a new Honda piston. When I got it back, I found out they had bored it .5 mm over instead of .25 mm as they only had the second oversize piston in stock, so now I can't use Honda pistons anymore. Also they seem to have bored it way too large. I could ...

Here are a couple of pics.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone, been lurking here for a while. I have had my 97 500 since 2001 and love the bike, even tho is has only been my backup bike for the last couple of years as I got into the 450's. But now I have to rebuild my 05 450 and it's just not worth it so I am finally going to ...
