I don't know about that but, I used one of the renthal oring chains about 5 years ago and it was a POS! Haven't used renthal since.

Here's a few of mine. I know lots of these photos are redundant but, keep in mind the new guy thinking of starting a build can never gety enough pictures. I cut the frame tubes 1/2" above the nutserts on the side. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/bf8ec6d696b753545853d1e598a32c15.jpg Th...

I put a primarydrive gold Oring on my son's yzf450. He's had several rides on it so far and it seems to be holding up very well. Been as good as any I've used so far. I've had good luck with the RK xso also, it just costs more.

got to fined some aliminiam for the exstension Good luck with that. That frame has the odd ball rectangle. I bought some oversize bar from onlinemetals and milled it to size. Left was the original size. Two on the right are the size of tube. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/919b251e1523480...

Looks like you are jumping in head first! Glad to see another build getting started. Been rather quiet around here it seems in light of recent revalations. I'm getting ready to post some on my 03 crf450. I would suggest you slow down and study before doing a lot of cutting. You might think of anothe...

We had one that was our" best friend "that was with us from the time one of my daughters was in kindergarden to well past her graduation from high school. Grown men DO cry!
Sorry for your loss.

I've still got a mental picture of the guy on Danny's avatar chasing a bike on its side spinning in circles WFO!

WooHoo!!! Just got email saying parts would arrive Monday. It was kind of strange because it was sent at request of yamaha parts direct. I didn't know there was such a thing. Bob, I haven't hit you up for the discount yet because I figured I'd wait until I was sure the business was still up and goin...

Yeah well, you have to understand Slick Rick is getting geared up for re election. Last election he was going to get tough on border control.
They all talk a good game but when it comes time for action they don't do shit!

Has anyone ever bead blasted a frame and then painted with clear to preserve the finish? If so, how did it hold up? I've thought about doing this to some areas of the frame like the insides of the frame rails and places that don't get wear but are hard to get to for cleaning without taking the bike ...

Well I got a chance to test the bike on Saturday. My last and only big bore two stroke up until now was a YZ490 I had back in 96. I've been on yz250s every since then. The track conditions were probably the worst for trying to see what the 500 would do. Hard black clay(think concrete) with a slight ...

Here is the tool. What you talked about doing will probably work. You might even be able to just put some longer bolts in the two holes and use a bar between the bolts.

The two threaded holes are for a installation/removal tool that is supplied with the FWW. It is basically a flat bar about 1"x3"x1/4". It has two holes that are used to screw to the two holes in the FWW. In the middle, it has a 1/2" square hole for a rachet or breaker bar. The FW...

Then we should know real soon that all is well because charge was made from my account yesterday.

Are they out of business again? I placed an order last Tuesday and it still shows as just "Reviewed". I tried calling and all I get is a recording that says leave a message but never gives you the opportunity to. I tried sending an email last Friday and still haven't received any response...

I played with it some this afternoon. Started up second kick cold after 3 primer kicks. Sounds real good and got it to idle decent. I restarted it 4 times after I got it hot. 1st kick all 4 times. I did a search but couldn't find it, someone at sometime posted on here the starting routine. "kic...

i can understand APs point, they have a couple thousand hoons that own a cr5. if they didnt have that rule, they would have 9000 knuckleheads posting garbage all day, it would be a nightmare for the moderators. this site hasnt been around long enough, but at some point it might turn into a circus :...

These are what I made up a few years ago to plug and supply air pressure. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/34beabbd9c5cc1dbfd496e6b490484b9.jpg This is before. It was a little more difficult to fix because of the funky bends it had on the welded seam. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/au...

Here is the other side and a close up of the pipe. Planning to post some pics in the pipe repair thread when I get a chance to work the dent out. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/6d68111c3f1105a68899c648adb56caf.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/a31e4c67d6151a3b4b4c93e875ca2b21....

Going to try to post a picture for the first time. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/264766a5148a77c7a91762229f08e1c4.jpg Woohoo! Thanks for the instructions Bob, it worked. Just got her yesterday. It was stored in a covered but open sided dog kennel for a couple of years as the plastic show...

I made plugs for both ends of pipe. Drilled and tapped the cyl. end plug to accept a male air fitting to connect the shop air hose to. I regulate the pressure @ 50-60psi. I think it is a good idea to "burn out" the pipe before plugging the ends and heating because it could become very expl...

I agree, the rear is about the most durable I've found and works well.
The IT front is just horrible for me on any kind of hard pack. I don't think I'll ever buy one of those again. Never tried the SI before.

Agree 100%. I would also like to see mandatory birth control for anyone living off the goverment tit as well!

So, how would you rate/compare it to the POS 4 stroke it once was?
