Finally took some pics. I found new Braking rotors for both ends. Not pictured are the electronics, carb and ignition cover. I have those as well. https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/553137_10151972252658556_1668149606_n.jpg https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/553137_101519...

To save some time, I will not part the 87' out. I have a mostly complete 87' CR500 leftover from the abandoned AF project. The engine is not original to the chassis. It was an ebay find to replace the original engine that went into the AF. Condition unknown. It has decent compression and shifts thro...

Looking for a good 87' frame to replace mine with crushed rails.

Anyone?

one thing i'm having a hard time with is material to practice on. i work in the aviation industry and we have lots of scrap AL but it is all 2024 or 7075 both of which im told is not weldable. i have an old gixxer frame out back, but i'm not really ready to cut it up. any ideas? Home Depot or Lowes...

Here's a good site. http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/

costs about $400 400 dollars or 400 GBP? If it's dollars, that's a good deal. Could you post the name of the company? dogger http://www.gmxradiators.co.uk/cgi-bin/sitewise.pl?act=big&p=396&id=gmx I have talked to Jo and the aluminum CR500af tank is almost 500gbp shipped!! That's about $800

Helium is your friend.

The forks are easy to rebuild. I'd order the springs (for your weight), bushings and seals since they're all probably worn out. Those forks deliver a pretty sweet ride when setup correctly.

Mine bolted right on the CRF250 chassis. Paul modified my right one as well. He can tell you how well (or not) they're built.

Maybe he took the suggestion of this site to use GSS which makes all the childish slams against Glen even funnier?

The prices are in line with comparable gear. Big question is if it'll last like the original JT gear.

I'm 100% with you and feel that's where it needs to be. I just find it funny I was chastised over it but nothing mentioned about yours. Go figure.

I was chastised for asking about doing the headstay that way.

U using a GoPro?

btw-I subscribed, need more videos!
What are you using to edit and convert the videos?

Yeah, the GoPro HD. I used Microsoft movie maker, simply cause it was already on my laptop.

Testing suspension and gearing on the 2000 CR500 @ Cycle Ranch MX in Floresville, TX. First helmet cam video.

You must have still been dazed for the first kick...

I couldn't touch the ground and lost my balance so I didn't get the kick I needed. I weigh about 160.

That's a left hand sweeper with a few small doubles. The rear kicked to the inside on the first one. Funny thing, the guy that took the picture (he has the sequence too) ran over and was like "you'll never crank that old 500". 2 kicks and I'm on my way. He rides 4 strokes so I guess he's u...

Yep

14/50 will put you in 5th gear for alot of Cycle Ranch while 1st gear is useless except for your ride from the truck to the track. I just ordered 14/48.

Info is all over this site on this. You'll have to bore the bushings the swingarm bolt passes through and redo the the water pump hose routing from the pump to the cylinder. Chances are the water pump is rotted and if it's not, it will be. For ease, the later engines are the way to go although I pre...

Next time you're over I'll show you the original crank out of my 87'. Sloppy as hell, cylinder shaped like a stop sign and it still pulled a HOH modded 450 up the big hill. If you can't find the service manual on here, bring a thumb drive with you next time and I'll give it to you. You need it regar...

Super day of riding the "new" 2000 CR500 I recently picked up! Don't sweat it, you'll figure out how to crank them. That being said, I've bought more CR500s from guys that couldn't crank them than you can imagine, this 2000 being one of them. I couldn't own a bike I couldn't crank in a cou...
