Brits been riding it...

you have a sick sense of humour...


that is why you ride a 500....

wow.. nice job...

i can't help but saying you should paint the frame and swing arm black or red... (anodizing would be super but expensive)

even if for some reason i can not see all the pics in the thread the pdf file is spot on!

thanks a million!
well a million is a bit to much... i would be getting a bit boring after the first thousand...

my info says it was that thing against a TRX...

Do i have to say who won?

So the engine from 87 up until 01 staid EXACTLY the same?
So i would not have any problem finding parts?
So i should buy one if it runs good?

i thought the engine staid the same for most of the '90ies now i see that after the 85 model all Cr 500 had reed valves, flat slide carbs and bore-stroke dimensions of 89x79 (and all produced the same Hp)?


could somebody enlighten me about the motor differences?


p.s. seriously guys you just ...

you know what... it is not mine.. and i think it would be a great idea for us here to make a list about Cr 500 engine/bikes...

thanks for the info!

by the way
the site below
http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Honda_CR500#1996
is a very good reference guide to tell what year is what, provided you know the bikes serial number.[/url]

and how about this one...



can it be a 92?

p.s. what is a jug? edit: cylinder?
what if it has (or does not have) a removable clutch cover? witch is witch?
no i have not seen the other side yet.

thank you!

hello

could somebody tell me until what year did Honda produced the Cr 500 engine with black engine housings (carters)

was it until 1993?

and in any case can this engine be from a 1996 model?

feel better man!

i even made a sketch about it! :D

brown are the forces coming from the front or the back
blue are the reaction of the frame to the brown forces (oups...)
red are the twisting forces that are generated because the frame has strong front and rear mounts and there is less give in those arias ...

if i understand what you say correctly (and to decode it a bit)
it is not because we have vertical forces on the top (or bottom) of the beam
but because we have forces from the inside towards the outside of the beam.
(in other words the oval shape of the frame (from above) tries to became more round ...

yeah i know...

i am using a foot pedal to control the current.
It is not easy to say the least!

what gas are you using? what rod, exactly? there are many grades of al/mag alloy. On my mig, I believe I used 4340 with an H25/argon mix.

i am using pure argon (99.9%)
the rod is AlMG4,5Mn (aka 3.3548, aka AW5183)

i am in the market for some XG253 (Alu 5%Si) which (acording to the seller) is ok ...

By the way does any one know how to weld Aluminium with tig?

I am an hobby welder myself and now that i am trying to calibrate my tig weld (current, nozzle size, frequency etc) i have a heck of a problem making a good weld (i can make quite good steel TIG welds but never tried alu)

i am using some ...

Where the spars cracked

and you kept (and repaired) that frame after that!!

i see... but i would love to see some pictures of these.


i have one more question...

since round tubes can withstand more force (and from different angles) than square tubes, wouldn't it be nice to change the entire underside (until the Y section) with round tubes

Hello and congrats for this forum.

Looking around the forum i saw many different (and amazing) ways of making the conversion and especially the Y section and the mounting holes.

As i am about to start cutting my CRF 450 05 to receive a 500 96 i would like to ask...

Did anyone had significant ...
