Rode mine yesterday. I have had times when mine was hard to start until I do the routine. Turn fuel on, lean bike over till carb overflows, put it in first gear and rock back and forth with thumb on kill switch, prime kicker slowly a few times, find TDC, bring kicker to absolute top, jump slightly ...

Done.

I had no idea what it was, looks quite exotic and have never seen anything like it before. When they said it was 85, I was wondering myself why anyone would convert their liquid cooled machine back to a finner.

Yeah, I used to do that too, but have since resorted to the "throwing parts everywhere" method. It usually works, as long as you don't have more than 5 projects going at the same time.

Yes, but if someone that knew what they were doing did your bore job, it's already done.

Started tearing into it a bit today, after having the rads full of vinegar for a couple days and flushing with hot water today. Got quite a bit of crud out with little effort, shaved some time off the water pump overhaul. I have never had a PC pipe, but apparently, they're hungry bastards because it...

Picked up this 88 locally, couldn't pass it up. I had the feeling I was going to be in trouble with the wife, but haven't ever been this depressed after taking home a new toy. Needs some love, clutch basket is missing, water pump is showing some pretty promising signs of disease, pipe is bent up aga...

The mag covers are pretty scarce, but most people will consider you a dumbass for wanting one. I'm just trying to keep it original. I have brand new Chinese rads in the box, but spent hours cleaning out plugged tubes and making repairs to the shroud mounting tabs for the same reason.

Tharell, unfortunately didn't take any pics of the water pump this time around, but is pretty straight forward, same as the last one I did. You need a die grinder or Dremel, with a decent (small) carbide burr. Get rid of anything that resembles corrosion without digging too deep, and then a quick sa...

The before pics, this is the day I brought it home, nearly 2 years ago.... https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/c41445b93c413e6f36f8363898ba909d.jpg https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/431d55f96ed5c6d69ba3ea4dc911fa19.jpg The water pump with its final coat of JB Weld, ready for the final ...

Well since winter is upon us , I decided it was long overdue and I should give the old girl some attention. #1 was the waterpump. I didn't take many pictures along the way, but do have a few here and there. I was planning on stopping there, but the top end was really bothering me, owning the bike fo...

PM sent.

And what is this box of various parts? Sounds interesting. Never have enough "stuff".

Interested in the pipe and possibly the shock. Name your price, and pics would be great. Thanks in advance.

I've been absent for a while, just curious as to what became of this build......

Sorry.... calipers to measure pistons and cylinders is a no-no..... :nono: A quality measuring tape will suffice. :lol: I don't think he was planning on using those #'s as clearance values. Probably just wanted an idea of where his engine was, bore-wise. :? You can go up to .080" over (91mm) b...

I wanna say how "cute" that pup is, but don't want to hear all the bullshit from all the tough guys here. Who cares, that fuckin' dog is CUTE, alright!?!

What he did was wrong, but was justified and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same. Hopefully he got his message across and I'm sure nobody will fuck with his family again. :cool: But if everyone took matters into their own hands like that the world would be far more fucked than it already is. :?

That's only funny cause I know a few cocksuckers that deserve to be wearing them. But I'm sure everyone does....

That pipe is so badass!

make sure you change the graphics and gas cap before putting a 500 in that :lol: :lol: :lol: I once sent a heckling e-mail to a somewhat local guy who was selling a "gay" CR500 with pink tires, the dude had a shit fit and flew off the handle (via e-mail, mind you). What a dick! I thought ...
