HELP! My CR500 Failed...Seized Then No Comp???
Re: HELP! My CR500 Failed...Seized Then No Comp???
did you back the throttle off before it siezed97CR500R wrote:Ok,
I was riding around the my house, lots of back roads and I was riding for about 35 minutes. I got on a paved section and went "all-out" for a 5th gear pinned run....It worked great for about 10 seconds then the motor locked up at about 70mph! By some stroke of common sense I pulled the clutch in and coasted to a stop. It was a wild ride for a few seconds!!!
This has happened to me before, about 4 years ago and the bike restarted just fine. Not this time. It seems to have no compression, heck you could kick it over by hand. It just wont fire...real weird.
It was about 30 degrees outside. Any ideas? Thanks!

lack of lubrication. some oils especially castor based oils like 927 can separate out in cold temps, if you don't shake the can and pour it, you could have just poured gas and left the oil in the can.
that scoring is not heat, that is lack of lube. period.

Maybe picked up the wrong gas can that had no oil in the gas possibly.
Either way Bummer Dude.

I've had issues with storing castor for long periods. it tuns to gel in the float bowl and plugs up the pilot, I could see the same effect happening in a gas can especially in really low temps.
did you mix the gas that morning, or did it sit over night?

Man it's sad to see a CR500 get sick / injured.

Jeez...I can't win with you Bob, The results are the results...I don't know how it got the way it is because I don't know jack shit about the technical side of these motors.AlisoBob wrote:The clearence gets bigger over time, not smaller.97CR500R wrote: It probably was on its last leg anyways because the last time it was rebuilt was about 4 years ago.

It isnt about winning, its about finding the cause , so you dont blow your shit up on the first kick once its rebuilt.97CR500R wrote:[Jeez...I can't win with you Bob, The results are the results...I don't know how it got the way it is because I don't know jack shit about the technical side of these motors.
If it ran for 4 years, there is no mechanical reason for this to have happened.

Almost the same symptoms, I just don't have the "metal-on-metal clank" sound he describes. Everything else was very similar!100hp honda wrote:this guys has same symptoms

Lucky it wasn't your KX450F.
If that thing blows you are going to cop some stick for it.

If you maintain it well I can't see it blowing up for awhile, if ever.
A KX500AF would be wicked though.
