1995 Steelie rebuild

Post by GasIgel »

So, here are some pics of my 1995 CR500 rebuild:

There are some scratches on the piston at the intake side, i think those were coming from the piston / cylinder clearance of only 0,05mm (0,002")!?

Image

Image

Anybody knows something about this fork? Kayaba or Showa? :?:
The fork bleeder thread is 4mm, but KYB and SHOWA should be 5mm?!

Image

Image

Nothing to say about this "motor mounting bolt".... :lol:



Yesterday i've sent the cylinder to the netherlands for reboring and relieving the exhaust bridge, hope this guy knows what he is doing....


Which chain should i choose? O-Ring or a standard chain?


Hope i'll get it done in the next few weeks

*edit*
pics are working now

That piston looks great, why did you want to bore the cylinder?

Bad news from the front...

Got a shock bearing kit for a 95`cr500, but it doesnt fit!

maybe someone can confirm (or deny) that it is a 95`shock? would be great :)
