it was 1986 and i rode in the back with my new cr 80 all the way home.thought it was a dream the next morning but it was in the basement when i ran downstairs. thanks for the trip back!
Thank you for the video and great job on the restoration!!! I have a 1984 CR80 I am putting back together and have a simple question for you. I have always ran a 32:1 mix on all of 2 smokers. The shop manual for this particular bike states a 20:1 mixture. Since the previous owner seized the piston, I am skeptical to run a leaner mixture. Should I do as the manual states or as I have always done? I sometimes feel the manual may be on the conservative side. Your input will be appreciated. Thank you-- Tony
Hey Tony, sorry for the late reply. I think as long as you use a synthetic 2 stroke oil you should be able to get away with 32:1. I've run 32:1 in this bike since I finished the rebuild and it runs great with no problems
@Northern MX Thanks! I have ran it through several heat cycles and no issues. I turned it loose yesterday and she ran great. 32:1 seems to be just right.
I had a 1986 CR80. As a high school kid it took me a year to save up for it. Loved that bike. Thanks for the memories.

My desire is even higher to own one😮
One of my favourites-beauty. Is she Forsale?
I expected it to smoke a tad bit more for a first start up, it may be running lean typically when idling and off idle it will smoke a touch
gosh dang ,nice work dude!

Hi Buddy, can you tell me where I can get a Rear Mudguard/ Fender for an 86 CR80 please.
Thank you.
That might be really hard to find. I would maybe get one for a newer 80 and cut it to fit
Was the plastic that nice or did u find new plastic online? I cant find any for 86-89
They were in ok shape but really faded. I managed to save them with this technique th-cam.com/video/6QN6uadDYEw/w-d-xo.html
