The problem with using a Cr 500 in a quad is there is np counterbalancer and a 4 pooint vehichle will shake itself to death. I know of people who have put a Cr5 in a quad and they told me vibs could and did crack the frame in places. Needless to say just another reason why a bike with 2 points is t...

That is what I heard,the kart do not need more power out of a single. They need to get the power they have hooked up and that is smooth torque curve. Hmmmmmmmmmm. but wait a minute and a 4 pooint vehichle will shake itself to death Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hey FastKart is your Kart shaking itself to death? r...

The Cr 500 has a tougher tranny than a TRX!

You machine spacers that reduce the bearings down on the CRF so the CR axle will fit, Done it no problem

The front wheel will work fine from the CRF with the right axle spacer combo the back will work once you machine a few spacers. In 2000 Honda went to a bigger rear axle. it is no problem. ok hold on a min. he is asking about a crf wheel fiting a cr500 late modle so you are saying that the late modl...

CPI Saber cylinder

This has been going on for 2 years, I willl believe it when I see it. I wanted to build a street legal CR 5 Saber and Calvin told me he would have a package redy and that was 2 years age.

I was really excited about it so I went out and bought a 50mm Lectron carb. IT NEVER HAPPENED on his end!

I have a CR 500 and A TRX 250 and since this Saber cylinder is a direct bolt on cylinder for a TRX 250r, I don't see how it can be made to work on a 500. I know there are some machinist that can work miracles, but this one I would love to see. The 500 cases are so wide compared to 250's. There's a ...

What temp an oil burns at has absolutly nothing to do with the crank.

I talked to Mcoy about 4 or 5 months ago and he should have it done. Mcoy engine shop he was on planet sand and Cal...

Any part of the motor that comes in contact with air is suseptable to oxidation, I dont think it has anything to do with the oil used. No but some oils coat the parts better in the betton end.

I didn't have any problems getting a new rod for my 85, any OEM place should be able to get it. Danny, don't mutt your engine up! :oops: if you like the older style power the short rod is better. It definitely pulls out of the hole better but the power band is shorter. The spcer setup if done right...

I would get the long rod crank. it is heavier and the power will be more like a new one. I do not care for the short rod as well. The long rod have a longer pull and the power is broader but you give up torque. The newer rod places less stress on the rod and will last longer because of less rod ang...
