Good catch...

This is a complete and running motor taken out of a 1989 Honda CR500 dirt bike

Both my bikes have diff year motors to the frames.

what year is it?

britincali · Post by **britincali** » February 7th, 2008, 9:49 pm

87 86 or 85.

You can tell it was in a newer frame from the kicker and silicone rear coolant hose with a mark from sitting on the expansion chamber.

Why not an 88? Is there something I don't know or did you lave it out?

Dont the 88s have a silver top end?????

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » February 8th, 2008, 8:26 am

its an '87 or '88 unless the side cover was swapped. the '85 and '86 don't have a removable clutch cover.

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » February 8th, 2008, 8:29 am

at closer look, it looks like its a short rod motor by the height of the base deck above the ignition cover. probably an '85 or '86 w/ newer side cover. You could buy a complete '85 or '86 bike for $700...

Caseys500 · Post by **Caseys500** » February 8th, 2008, 8:40 am

It also looks like the right side cover has a the coolant port going straight up rather then angled back. Shows it has an 89-93 side cover. 89-newer kicker. 86-87 cylinder and head (black) Frankenstein motor... It's been screwed with more than monica lewinsky.

But at least you know what you have.

Caseys500 · Post by **Caseys500** » February 9th, 2008, 8:44 am

so it looks like it could be just an 89 bottom end with either an 86 or 87 cylinder and head.

I guess I dont understand how that would work. The way I understand it is; if I were to get a newer cylinder for my bike the cases would need to be machined for it to fit.

How does this work in the reverse. Wouldn't there need to be something to take up that extra space that the newer cases have with the older cylinder...Im confused.

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » February 9th, 2008, 1:07 pm

I don't think it is even an '89 bottom end, look at the deck height where the base gasket is. its just a hair higher than the ign housing part, just like my short rod '86. I think it is an '85 or '86 motor with a newer side cover.

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » February 9th, 2008, 1:08 pm

plus, if it were an '89 the rear cylinder studs would be way long. definitly not an '89 motor, even the bottom end.

He e-mailed me back with this serial # pe02e5500991
What's that make it, an '86?

Joshwfl · Post by **Joshwfl** » February 9th, 2008, 2:36 pm

Yeah, it's an 86. 96 also started Pe02e5500..., but no way in hell that's a 96 motor.
