- 22! holy crap yeah i wouldnt want to be out in it either. its +30 here and i dont like it lol. im a desert rat, i like it hot. if it gets below 60 im shiverin. my friends call me chihuahua. ill save the crank for you no worries.

makes total sense i tottally understand now. most of the heads i deal with(not cr500) dont have that deep dome in the middle they are usually a more even cup shape. exept i think my old yz 490 had a similar head shape as the cr500.

i have a friend who builds snowmobiles and he swears by wrapping his pipes. he claims that the wrapped pipes hit harder and increases the fuel pulse back into the cylinder, myself i have never wrapped a expansion chamber but have wrapped all my four strokes as it aids in scavenging. i have also seen...

they are complete bikes well, mostly complete lol might need a nut or bolt or cable or two

i have built up too many parts motors that i dont need. heres the list: 1983 yz250 poor comp. bent shift shaft bad clutch sealed and complete 50.00 1984 yz125 siezed top end comes with exhaust,cdi,coil 25.00 1978 honda cl360 twin running motor, no carb exhaust or elect. 150.00 1982? yamaha maxim 650...

Ok I have been here a while and I dont want to sound stupid, But can someone explain "squish band" I know you check it with a piece of solder but what is the purpose and what is the optimum squish? Also what happens if it is bad? I have done lots of top ends on different bikes and never re...

i think it will have good traction with the terraflex lol not like a wheeler but the fun thing about reverse trikes is their ability to drift corners predictably. i work at a kawasaki-can-am dealer and we had a can am spyder thats where i got the idea, its a reverse tilting trike or(trt) that is mad...

ok i figured out how to make it tilt by suspending the lower a arms now it has 5 inches of tilt on each side and maintains up and down travel. but instead of the front shock i have now i will use a fox airshox so i can have adjustability. the rear suspension worked out well too. even though it is li...

heres a pic of me that my bro just sent me.

I couldnt find a way on the mill to cut the flanges down without cutting into the water jacket i dont have any small bits , so i broke out the flex shaft and used a dremel cutting tooth bit and it seemed to work great. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/3ecc0953c013ef11b97aea52030da173.jpg ht...

here it is. After taking 3.5mm off each side its a perfect fit with the 01 jug the front base studs will work as is but the rear two are flush with the top of the hole. so now i guess i gotta order some studs for a 01 case. this mod was tottally worth it though as this jug is a std. bore :cool: and ...

when you say you cut the sleeve down, about how much do you cut and do you mean the length or the diameter of the sleeve cause i thought about just milling the sleeve till it was the same as the 88 but it looked like it would be stronger if i just milled out the case and left the sleeve thick .

i tell you what, a couple of months ago all the police cruisers in town along with several private cars started loosing fuel pumps, well when they went to test the fuel where all the fleet vehicles fuel up i wont mention names but their initials are (smiths fuel center) they found a very high water ...

I am currently machining out my 88 case to accept a 2001 cylinder, it really isnt that big of job, i will have to put longer studs in for the base but other than that it should be done late tomorrow, here highlighted in red are the areas that have to be milled out. also the edges of the sleeve have ...

no its not a shaft conversion the 550 motors are chain drive factory.

the 550's were the only shaft drive unfortunatly because they produced more power than engines several hundred cc's larger then they were. the seca 750 was a very hot motor. the maxim and seca 550's were identical and i have used them in meny many projects as they are lighter than a 750.

i really wanna take it to the dunes for sure!

as usual i cant leave things alone and always have to be building something new. this winters project is a revers three wheeler , i am grafting a yz 250 rear to a yamaha blaster front and my old hillclimber motor, a 70 hp seca 550 yics motor. i have thought about doin it for a long time and finally ...

well its 32 degrees but no snow yet, i usually ride year round . i put ice screws in my tires and hit the plowed fire roads in the mountains. i didnt have my cr500 runnin' but i have a kx250 that is pretty hot and i hit some local hills. heres a few of me at clawson track. https://bannedcr500riders....

ok, heres the pics. I cant find my feeler gauge anywhere so i guess i gotta buy another one. but it has very low hrs. since the rod was put in it. . i bought it when i rebuilt my 88 and had it all installed and couldnt figure out why it wouldnt run good and only had 70 psi . well it was cause the sh...

sorry i didnt get home till midnight last night, i will get those pics up this afternoon as soon as i get off work.

I bought this on a clearance deal for 20 bucks. its the mosse ez pull clutch thingy its triangle shaped and has three settings . i first set it to the easiest position but found it gave no feel as to clutch engagement although i could use one finger to use the clutch , i did not like having a dead r...

yup stay posted and ill put them up tonite. as for now i am off to ride!

dude! I have a great short rod +crank that i bought last year but i didnt know it was a shorty so it wouldnt work in mine, it is used but is still very tight and should last years and years. if you want it 100 shipped its yours.
