- I go and pick up a 1994 Honda cr500. This is the first ever cr500 that I have had on the channel. It is an absolute beast of a bike.

i know im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Harvey Armani Instablaster ;)
@Castiel Mekhi thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Castiel Mekhi It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Harvey Armani No problem xD
When it’s cold just lean it to one side until gas comes out the overflow, that will prime it, then will fire right up cold. Had a 95’ cr500 for years and that’s a great trick. Awesome bike!
does that work on 250s too ? i got a rm 250 and it starts like a bitch🤣
Have tt500 keep tuned&true-fuel 🔥 up first slam by arm no leg need here#K🐍💪
@@kyntyckykobra3300 that’s great! But my boi got hulk arms fr 😂
@@JohnWick-qn3wn l.m.a.o enjoy 🙏
Best way to start a bike like that is to tip it on its side till gas comes out of the overflow lines, get it to TDC and give her a kick that would put a hole in a wooden deck.
How do you know when the bike is at Top Dead Center without being able to see the piston? This isn't a rude comment I'm actually curious. Couldn't find anything on the internet lol.
Air Force Code When it has most resistance to being kicked over, aka when you feel the most resistance
Air Force Code If you turn the engine over until you get to the point where the compression is the highest, that is where tdc is.
Thank you! I always turn over the engine to "gain compression" before I start my bike anyways but I didn't know that was getting it to top dead center. Thank you.
One more thing, what's the point of tipping it over until gas comes out the overflow? Just making sure the carb has fuel??
My friend had one. It's definitely a beast! He use to take it mountain trail riding. He's a big guy. It was hard for me to ride it in the mountains. Nice bike!❤
Forgot to mention, on the 250 that score mark looks like it could have been caused by the piston anti-rotation pin. Look at the ring groove (s) on your piston, there should be a small “pin” there. The ring is installed so the pin is between each ring end. If that pin comes out it will do similar damage to what you have. If that pin is missing you need to find it. This may include opening up the bottom end. Don’t rush and not check as you will do the same type damage to all new parts.
I am glad to see kids doing something besides playing on a xbox all day . Good job guys.
facts, same
Iv got a 83 model RD CR 480. Owned it for over 30 years now. It is an absolute beast. Left hand kickstart is a legbuster if ya don't know how to do it. A few mates of mine have been bitten hard by it and given up. I find it easier than right handed kickstarts for some reason and I prefer them. Iv also got a KXf 450 and the old CR would eat it for breakfast. The motor also runs very smooth and doesn't vibrate like a lot of big bore bikes do. It has that much grunt that you can do powerstarts in top gear. Originally the 83 model came out with a five speed cluster but Iv swapped it over to a 4 speed cluster. You don't need a five speed box in something that makes so much horsepower. It's got a different pipe, Wiseco piston, Boysen reed valves, ports altered, and a 44 mil Bing carby. The power delivery is smooth as and it just makes power from right down low in the rev range. Since 1983, they've improved the handling of bikes, but they sure as hell haven't improved their motors. Not even the injected motors. Water cooling is prob the biggest improvement. Jus my opinion.
That is one a best CR 500 I ever seen, graphic wise! I think it looks mint!👌
beast of a bike , best i ever had , that thing spun clutch drum rivits several times but dang i loved it , i had the 4 stroker 500 also , loved it , it had a poorly desinged engine thoe, no cam bearings , head would wear enough to jump time after about 4000 , had to put 2 heads on it
Nothing like watching old school videos as you await the 440ex build.
I like the bike the way it is. The graphics match the year it was made to me. Very nice bike love it !!!
Really minty!🤙🔥 Can’t believe you bought one!
good to see u back in the saddle and up beat keep going tc
HE ACTUALLY DID IT!- Ricky bobby. That’s badass bro.
You also have to find TDC in order to start these beasts, slowly kick it over a few times and then let the kick start go all the way back up. Then slowly move the kick start down to where you start to feel resistance and kick it hard.
I remember seeing afew of these brand new kitted out with lights and ADR compliant. The ADR ones are worth a fortune !
I hope you keep the 500 💁🏽♂️
ur great my guy keep up the great work cant wait to see the cr 500
There definitely fun I had an 85' cr500, best yr for horsepower, they tammed them down in 87'. I bought from a friend who raced it out here in Imperial valley dist 38 races, it had ported cyl, pipe, wp shock. It was brutally fast. had a terraflex rear tire, and 44 rear sprocket, 15 front and could wheelie 5th gear all day. and would give me ridiculous arm pump. but you get use to it,
Good channel in depth content keep up the good work i have a 99 yz 250 with the 02 rear subframe seat and gas tank with 2017 plastics
Don't see why people are hating on these guys, they're kids, of course they might not know some things but that's how you learn. Just showing interest is enough to show that they like the technology and are learning as they go. Saying they can't ride and should quit biking is just a bitter and jealous solution.
Respect that beast or she'll bite, HARD...
bit hard lol. they are not as bad as you people make out..
even in a 125 frame they are a bag of shit
@@onenessseeker5683 they are not a killer unless you are an idiot, however I think your oppinion is a little off 😂
Dont be a fucking pussy mate there not that crazy
Child of God They’re definitely not a bag of shit lol. Just not the death traps everyone makes them out to be.
Now that's a bike man even the newer 450f can't hang with these bikes that are over 20 years old y'all be careful on that Beast Man that's a total different machine that's for sure you can just feel the power Just sitting on that thing you guys have a good one man I need to get caught up on your videos it's been a minute👊👊👊👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Hey man get you an RM 500 and a YZ 490 and you will have a pretty cool set of the big boys
3:00 It was probably a spark plug electrode that broke off and damaged the cylinder, then the plug was replaced.
Or a piece of old ring that was stuck in the exhaust from all the oil that had gathered in it from not running right
Definitely understand the 20 hour trip thing lol waited to find a 82 XL500R were I live finally found one last week and bought it and love it.
Finally a cr 500 true Honda guys
I saved up to get a bike because I used to have one and regreted getting rid of it I finally got one today I got a 2006 crf250r it was just rebuilt I have papers for it I love it
Joe Grounds nice
Joe Grounds thts kool wyf
I had a 96 cr500 and my brother has a 94 cr500 now. Best way to start a cold 500 is turn fuel on, lean bike to side until a little gas pours out the over flow, put it in 2nd gear, push bike forward and rear moving the piston(this primes the cylinder with fuel), Put back in neutral and kick as hard as you can. It will start on the first kick ice cold.
Never have rode one, but listennnnn to that ping ping! Sounds so good!
Check the rear shock he probably had it lowered where he could reach the ground better
It's pretty minty for an older bike I love it
i had a piston that had those same marks when i was doing mytop end, what caused it was that the little L shape part of the sparkplug where it sparks broke off at that little weld where its held to the spark plug body, thats why its good to use a good brand plug.
Looks like a fun project. Do the crank seals when you get into the motor.
what a beautiful beast of a CR 500 love it & the price can't beet that
I have an rg125 gamma , 98 or near abouts !. Haven't checked the year for a while, it's the model with USD forms for an even more aggresive stance .. it'ss a pocket rocket, I can carry way more corner speed than most , riding it's a dream. It's expensive for a everyday bike, fixing tis and fixing that. When I upgraded bikes I kept it not needing the money invested in her , years later I'm glad I kept her, when she's primed to go shes a ton plus bike. all black and sports looking, shame the rest sets are welded onand cannot be unbolted, passengers on a 125 don't mix to great!. She sounds lovely when the power band kicks in!. Ihave a 750 bandit I upgraded from a 600, yzf750 forks wheel and six pots. By raided lines all around and a highly strung 750 text motor that loves to wheelie !. Power house, my pride is the movistar telefonica CBR 600 rr that's also a pocket rocket one you can eat and still ride fairly sensible.. keep up the great work bud, enjoyed watching and listening too!. Two strokes sound racey , they also love the early morning condensed air, more bang for your buck ! Gotta watch ice tho! Enjoy and cherish them , love them all but don't set a dinner spot for them that's creapy!. Peace James .
Becareful dude ,,,those things are no joke ,,,,
97 first year of the aluminum frame jug needs a new sleeve $100 for sleeve $200 to install it is great bike I have had a lot of them.
Absolutely beautiful bike
Cr500s is a crazy bike I love cr500s & its a nice bike love the color scheme
Now you guy's are playing with 🔥. Never owned a 500, rode a few kx and cr, Sketchy Happens in a split second on a 500...
Honda cr's are great bikes!! Got one of my own. 🤘
On the CR250r,.. I had similar problem with mine, it was the WRYST-PIN clips.. ; had worked it's way over enough to scar the wall on the head.. I had it bored .10 and it fixed issue. You also might wanna check the crank bearings & replace at slightest sign of wear.. CONGRATS ON THE CR500!!! NICE KNOWIN' YA BUD!,.. LOL !! 500 IS A BEAST! BE CAREFUL,not a 250 u playin with now bit of power difference, i miss my CR's i had 2 of each size(250,& 500) bak when i rode a lot. i've seen quite a few broken bones from experienced riders too. the ol'85 Honda red 250 seemed to be less forgiving powerband, well 500 were even worse, but fun as hell to ride if u could stay on. Now though the power is more leveled out for rider control, still fun to ride. Be SAFE
awesome bike Joe!!!!!!
google search revealed seat height of 37.4inches. Measure your seat height. If its lower, the shock may be blown or it was lowered with different dog bones
Bikes a jem. Keep up the good work my man
Don't let that one go! Please.
Ulises gonzalez yes
Ulises gonzalez sps..dxxe
I really like the graphics on it, looks great for the age. Better than some modern bikes
Praying for your life, better get some gear
I have a 99 500R and is taller that this bike and is a crazier fast so I agree with you on this they may need a better life Insurance cuz the power of this animals is incredibly scary
These two can't ride have no idea what they have. Mommy and Daddy money will soon kill them. I had one of these I have ridden every stupid thing. Mine took one kick. Handle bars vibe wtf.. you deserve the hospital trip.
Jeremy Lewis they buy and sell bikes dumbass, maybe if you knew this channel.
@@tom23x true except only an idiot would buy from them. They show a brand new rebuild and start it cold and rev the shit out of it. I don't want to buy it to replace the new top end again lol
What’s gear💀💀
May be a little smaller than the 250 but in the thumbnail the thing looks huuuuge. Also if I were you I would throw on the old plastics for riding around and if you go trail riding so you don’t scratch the new ones.
What's funny is I went and looked at that bike and I was an hour to late on buying it lol you beat me to it bro congrats lol cool to see someone else in Wisconsin making videos I'm about 45 mins northish or the the dells we will have to ride sometime bro maybe I'll even buy a bike from you someday
Should put the motor in a 2007 cr 250 frame
Now that would be awesome.
They can't even build a bike out of wood, let alone do a conversion like that. Some serious fabricating skills are needed to pull off something like that.
N VD97 lol I’ve seen some people pull it off
Or cr125 2007 frame the frames all are the same for the cr125 and 250 from 2002 to 2007
Mtb Ridingog cr125 and cr250 frames are NOT the same
Love the videos keep it up
damn that things clean, my bikes 3 weeks old and is covered in dirt, mud pine needles, and everything else from trail riding! hahaha
Now imagine that engine on a 250r 4 wheeler frame....fun stuff...rode one years ago.
Thats a sweet bike!
Nice bike Score !
Holy crap that thing is a monster!!! Nice looking bike though!
U want it to start within 2-5 kicks cold all u got to do is turn gas on an lean it over till it comes out the overflow an chock it an get the Piston top dead center an give it a full kick. Had many those over the years an am speaking from experience
$2800. they are selling for 10 to 15k in Australia, had one as a young fella and wish I'd kept it, awesome fun to ride.
I had the exact same thing happen with a cr85 and nothing in the motor had broken but I found a little metal piece in my reeds that was bouncing around my motor
I love big 2 stroke they just sound aggresive when they go past when im older im defi gonna cop one rn i have a small 2 stroke
Wow what a beast !
Play with the gearing go 15 x 43 it will give it a broader ratio . Sounds good I’ve owned 3 and they do sit a little squatty
If you put the piston just past top dead center it will kick over and start a lot easier. If it takes any more then 10 kicks to start you are either doing it wrong or somethings wrong with the bike.
Yes finally
Top speed test for sure
91 with stock gearing. I've been wanting to put taller gearing on mine
It's from the ring pin, that keeps the compression ring from spinning. The CR didn't go to the aluminum frame till 2002 or so.
I thought it was 97 or something.
I got a scratch like that too but it was from a piece of the spark plug breaking off.
Thing is sick. Good job
Sweet! When riding behind a CR500 chest protection is not optional. Little red dots all over your chest without one.
The graphics are the sickest part. But I love retro style looks
Love the choice of footwear...1 boot and 1 slipper.
Only takes a couple of mins to warm up,or until top of cyl head is warm! (Hang on)!! 92 500!!
that's pinking, it's early detonation of fuel in the cylinder. Pitting only gets worse the more pot holes appear on the piston and head, the high points great hot spots causing more predetination. You're most likely using a spark plug that's too hot.
Also, to start one of these, slowly cycle the kick like 6 times, find TDC, then kick from TDC as hard as you can, move leg off kick instantaneously or it will break your ankle one day.
The reason your getting metal in your top end is likely from your main bearings being shot
Cant wait to see the top speed on this cr 500 broo
The compression seems pretty low if you can start it from a seated position. The bars vibrate on a 500, that's normal. Wait till you find out you can take off in 3rd and pull out.
Great looking bike for 94!
You already know this video is going to get hella views
I think service honda was putting 500 engines in cr250 frame, which aluminum frame began around 97
Now thats a man's dirt bike! Lol
Holy crap, it’s actually happening...
gotta love that 2 stroke music
4:03 there shouldnt be motor oil in the crankshaft like that. you need new crankshaft seals
he was cleaning it out with oil because something was in there
The main bearing cage has came apart that's what beat you're pissing up in your Dome up. The rod bearing is shot that's why you have two side to side play more than likely you have play up and down to.
It has compression but not good compression at all for a 500 that noise when you kick it over is air leaking through the side the piston, great vids man keep up The work and nice bike btw
dudes wearing a flip flop on one foot lmao
It's got that smoke!!! Yeah baby...
Nice bike. Sounds and runs good. Looks a little easier to kick over than mine.
One badass bike there!
Usually the lower rod bearing exploding is what causes the shrapnel being sucked through the ports and smashing the piston and the head. And unfortunately it got your cylinder too
Loving the TØP music
I actually sent a pic of this bike to 2vintage through snapchat before they bought it, SICK BIKE
CQ Outdoors yep that's how I found it! Thanks!
That cr is a 98, first aluminum year, i know as i have a 97 frame in my garage...
97 is first aluminum year look it up
Imagine trying to get fame @ caleb 😂😂
I like those graphics. Kinda cool.
Beautiful bike I wish I had it
Get that kick starter exactly top dead center. With choke on, stand up and put all your might down on that starter. As you are kicking down, GENTLY crack the throttle. She will start every single time on first kick.
I know this is old, but this is how yous start a 500, boys. You do what you call the "priming kick" to get PASSED the compression stroke. Then, the next one, you give it a proper kick. You don't use your leg, you use your whole body. Balance the bike, and hop up in the air and come down on it. If you run the machine regular, and its jetted right, it should start one kick. If it sits a while, you may need to rinse and repeat.
Please forgive me if it has already been said. I looked through a few posts and didn't see it. First off, CR500s never had a power valve. Second, compression might be a little low ... If that bike was cold and that was the first time he has tried kicking it over he's either a BEAST or the bike was warmed or both. I have 2 CRs 86 and 01 and 2 KXs 86 and 01, Warmed up and used to starting them yes, otherwise nope. That is a NICE bike! You guys do a lot of cool stuff. Take you're time and work with that bike, something is up, more than likely something really minor. It's hard for me to really tell from the vid but compression could be it, even on a low compression they can seem and feel ridged. Just food for thought judging without being there. Anyways have fun and for GOD SAKE "GEAR your Butts up"
If you put it in gear, with the choke on and rock it back and forth 8-10 times, then it will start first kick every time. That’s how I start my 92 and it works flawlessly. I learned that trick from an ol’ die hard Honda rider.
Thayne Shively. (Any tips on how to start a 2001 YZ125 with a very clean carburetor and newly rebuilt engine?)
Sometimes the little tab that holds the ring in position on the piston can come out and that’s what could have happened
