My 1997 cr500 restoration!
Hi guys im just the process of restoring my dads 97'cr500, its been stuck in a shed for 10 years!.
basically my rmz died, and was stuck without a bike , so i dug out my dads old 500 rode it AND loved it like nothing i had rode before. sold the rmz and the restore began!

Hi guys. thanks for the replies , i was just wondering what you guys thought of wiesco piston?? as i have all the bottom end of engine built now, and i will be drilling and installing the wiesco top-end 2moro.
The bike will be used for mx practise/open class events. and w-s-m beach race.
I could get my hands on a new cast piston if i must. but i guessed forged wiseco would live longer.
P.S. the bike is a 1997, just it had the black&red saddle, and the black rad scoops stolen when the bike was chained up, just before it got stored forc10 years.

im guessing the bike had a big fall on the gear shaft, cause when i took it apart, there was a crack in the inside lip where the shaft goes through. the guy i had weld thought it was a good ideal to back fill the corner with weld (prick).
Well i done a dummy build, and the weld was fouling a selector fork. So borrowed a dremel and cleaned it all up.

I had one on the right side case that had a crack and the shaft hole was oblonged I bored it and made a little sleeve for it and pressed it in then had it welded worked good so far
