I had thought of doing that years ago, glad to see you doing it. The one thing I wanted to do was make a sleeve with a bridge intake . A bit more support back there would in my opinion double a pistons useful life.

I still pop in from time to time. Haven't been able to ride much since I moved out to the farm I'm on now. Hoping to knock a few miles down this season if possible, but my old gang pretty much split up, and it is I alone now.

Still have both 500s, the niner is going thru a full restore, Dan's bike ...

Either will work

The bitch of a minimum order

That would be a good fix. Just add wallet

I roostie and others have welded cases.
I know I hear quite a bit about broken cases from the kicker, seems like it usually happens after a rebuild, I always wonder if it has something to do with the clocking of the mechanism? it should be the foot peg stopping the kicker and not the inside of the ...

It's not a production run stator, all coils were virtical and these are horizontal.

Rito, been a while since I've seen one, or used one. We hand made a 4 pole for my 01, puts out good lighting power. I could never got a coil that style to give more than 45 watts no matter how we wound it. Reckon ...

Looks like a standard 40w aftermarket lighting coil to me. A decent setup like a Ray Halogen with a 35w halogen bulb give you a decent trail safety headlight. It get you by in a pinch, but not good for dedicated night riding.

I think I may have gotten 200 miles in stateside, probably that in Aus this past July. My riding has kinda suffered the last 3 years, one buddy cant keep a license, the other, finally had to call it a day, as he cant get his shit together financially. I got out a whole 4 times on Dans bike, one an ...

And the rest, of course is history.....

Been thinking back on it lately, how my 98, the fabled "Niner", made me lots of friends over the years on these boards. I'm sure lots of you heard of Larrys, the original 500 board, the one that spawned the 2 in existence today. I had the pleasure of meeting ...

Honestly, a tig welder, a drill press and some Kawasaki parts.........

Say what you will; it works fine.


Honestly, you're shortchanging yourself by not using the newer clamps. Sure, the twin chamber dampening is much better, but using the beefier clamps improves the handling tenfold.

This should tell you the story, heres a set of clamps from a later model CRF and ...

You know, it's kinda funny how the steering stem thing is.
I used to buddy with a guy that had hundreds of vintage bikes and a shop full of equipment, until it burned up.
He always searched for these forks and those to fit what he needed because all the vintage bikes had skinny forks.
One day he ...

Yes, the forks slid right into the stock CR500 triple clamps, I torqued them to whatever the manual said, and have 3 rides on them without issues. Definitely noticed a difference (better) with the twin chamber forks. Might be my stock forks need a little tuning.

And that's the monkeys with ...

I've been told that a 2001 Cr 250 front end will fit on the 1990 CR 500. Any truth to this or has anyone actually done this? Thanks!

Old post, but you can put just about any front end on there you want.

2 ways to go about it

First, there is the All Balls conversion bearing kit

Or

My favorite ...

eBay.....the sellers name is keepitroostin, send him a message. That's where I got everything for the niner

Thanks Rick! You other fuckers.....you riding? Or a bunch of bacon slurpin webriders? Post your rides up....fags....

LOL, I've been riding, although more on the rover than the big bike, think I got 400+ rover miles to about 300+ CR miles, that'll change real soon, specially September 17-20 on the ...

Ok, so what kind of day was it, what was the temp? Above 80f? How tight war the trails, ATC, 3 wheeler, I'm thinkin at the least 30 inches. How long you hung up on the tree and trying to get loose before it stall?

What you using for rads, bro? That would be the first place I would investigate ...

Damn things turbocharged.........

I reckon when it gets toooo complicated for the local Harley mechanics, you gotta bring it to the peeps that know a thing or 3 about power....the 2 stroke fux....

I know an old post and sticky at that, but heres my cheap set of Nathan Airchime P5's, and old cast bells to boot. Got em at a yard sale for 150 bux some time ago. I have another P5, new cast bells, that mount under my Jeep. They are currently getting cleaned up, so its a bummer every time I pass by ...

That plug lug was made using a small piece of 6061 drop, a hacksaw, file, drill press/drills, and obviously the tap. So yes, with a shop full of NC machinery, you should be able to...............

Holy, an unprecedented 3rd post in a yr for me. Thought maybe a few of you fellers be interested in this latest project we had going in the Nadakuhn Skunk Werx. Since I updated the suspension on both my CR's, my good bro, mentor and partner in crime, decided he needed one those fat 50mm Showa shocks ...

Yea, I know I don't post a lot, maybe once a year, or is it twice every three years, dunno, no biggie. Been running out of time with the shock on my 01. KYB musta had a bad day when they let that one go, the inside of the body was getting a bit rough, and the last oil change kinda said this is it ...

Was kickin this idea around the first of the yr. It wasn't that Tech Care did a bad job on my forks a couple yrs ago, which really, they did a fine job, but the thought of having some "modern twin chamber" latest and greatest out front sounded very appealing.
Of course, the usual lets see whos done ...

Nice to see someone else using that starting routine. Been givin em the "dance" for yrs, always a 1 kick fire, even in flip flops and sneakers. More importantly, though, saves on wear and tear on the right side case. Ever wonder why big blockers crack the right side case......from UNNECESSARILY ...
