87' cr500 motor with 01' case cover
87' cr500 motor with 01' case cover
Just put my 87' motor back together with a new 01' case cover and new water pump stuff. The only problem now is the coolant line from the cylinder to the pump. Has anyone found a stock coolant line with similair bends?? The oem is to short on the 87', and the pipe is super tight to the motor. I suppose I could find some high temp braided flex, but that is a bitch to clamp and I don't want to get into changing fittings.
Well here is what I came up with for a "test" fix. I reversed the old hose, cut off the bad end, and used a 90 3/4 fitting.
This bike I've owned a lonnnnnnggggg time. It has a new pro circuit pipe and other new stuff I'll add later this week. I'm either gonna tard it this winter, or AF it. I've got other bikes to play with for a while, but need a machine to keep my 650R buddy in line!!!!!

I hope you can see it in this picture, i used 2 hoses and a connector, because it was late and i neede to ride, I cut it low and twisted the hose putting it on. I have 1/2 to 3/4 inch of room between the pipe and hose.

hehe I didn't have the right one, but I had a spare bolt the right length and thread from an old yamaha project and put it in there. It still in there, I can't bring myself to spend the $ on a bolt just to have the right headteemtrubble wrote:Danny what's up with the odd bolt in the clutch cover?

Yeah thats the fix. I cobbed mine for a quick test fix, but will have to get new hose and a metal hose-hose connector. Just something about trusting a plastic 90 that doesn't sit well with my original setup. Gotta pipe and some other motor goodies comin. Still deceiding on a SM or AF convert for a winter project. Thanks for all the help guys.
