I've been doing a lot of dual sport riding lately so I haven't had the chance to ride the 84 more than just around the block here and there since I rebuilt it :shock:

Last weekend I went to the WY badlands for some hill climb and wide open desert terrain action. There were 5 of us 84-90-91-94 ...

Thanks Roost! You're the man

Looks like I need a new seal

I'm helping a friend put crank seals in his 94 CR500 and the flywheel side has me scratching my head. I pushed it in until it stopped which leaves about a 1/4" lip on the outside. He said the old one wasn't pushed in that far. Should it sit flush with the case or did I push it in too far? Will it be ...

Thats the point I'm at right now :) I have no doubt that the PWK will rock on an 84 but it takes a lot of tinkering to get to that point when you have to start from scratch jetting wise lol. The needle is the hard part everything else is downhill from there...

I need to get off my ass and tune ...

Awesome! Good looking bike you have there looks like all the effort really paid off :cool:

What I found with my 84 is no matter where I set the stock needle I had lean ping or rich blubber and no happy median. The pilot circuit on the PE was also a roller coaster ride. Once I got it to where it ...

Oh dang! Lookin great so far

Awesome build! I wanna see more

I'm helping my brother rebuild a basket case 88 CR500 and I need a bit of help. I know its a broad question, but anyone care to tell me the differences in clutches through the years? I'll be looking for a used inner hub and just need to know what years will work and what won't. Thanks!

Never had one on a 500 so I can't say much there. As far as quality I liked the Dynoport on my old ATK 260 so much I bought one for my old RM 250 shortly after. Money well spent on both I liked them a lot and wouldn't hesitate to buy another in the future

Awesome bike and pics, keep it up!

Have you tried injecting epoxy or glue into the plastic around the brass inserts in the tanks? Or spin em til you can pull them out, clean up and put back in. Or last one is heat them using a soldering iron until it liquifys the plastic around allowing them to ...

I'm Andrew from Utah and I just thought I'd say hi. I ride 95% single track and love the big bores especially in the sand dunes. Thanks for all the great info provided here, and hopefully I'll see you on the trail one day :)

I started a thread about my 84 if you're interested.

Spring 2011 finally rolled in and I was able to break and jet her in. Then it was time to roll into the throttle and see what she had for power....

Stay tuned:

Ready to rock! (pic with stock carb and a flat :0)

She's really coming together now :cool: Unfortunately I have 2 really clean OEM tanks, both pretty much worthless because they leak through the o-rings, and the brass just spins in the plastic on the petcock :( For now I have the 4 gallon Clarke. Its a nice tank and I like the range at times, but ...

Sorry I'm not much of a story teller or entertainer you guys lol. If you get bored let me know :lol:

The stock shock was bad, but I think the forks were as bad or worse. I fooled with oil level, different viscosity's etc and never found anything remotely close to what I wanted. After some searching ...

I ride single track 95% of the time so I like having my bars up high. Unfortunately I found it not that easy to raise the bars with the stock clamp without having them sit in my lap so I went with a billet upper clamp with 3" risers which made enough room for my Scotts :cool:

^Next up the rear shock (which was beyond hope I thought) went to Pro Action in PA for a complete overhaul. What I ended up with was a huge improvement over the stock piece (of crap). PA's 3 stage valving/re-valve and a spring matched for my weight made a dramatic improvement. All new linkage ...

Some history, I have owned and still own a fair share of bikes, but this one is going to the grave with me. I don't know why I love it so much I actually hated this bike (anyone that has ridden a stock 84 will agree they aren't much to brag about) when I first got it over 10 years ago when I was 16 ...

Haven't posted much here, but I thought I'd share my 84 rebuild.

This is what she looked like when I brought here inside last winter.
