This video is ooozing testosterone and love. This is a man who is comfortable in the way he looks and the decisions he made. I admire him. Living in front of his (I assume) home that he is building himself and appreciating the dirt bikes he loved of his youth. All this while the bbq is in the making and a friend holding the cam. I can´t get much better than this.
You can...........an old TV in the background playing the Ateam and a dog catching a frisbee in slow motion at the end thrown by the camera man whilst Mr moustache points at the camera and winks like "yep, that's it" ........and scene! Masterpiece
Simon Templecombe ummmm you sure about that,,,, I know a few girl's at out club, 5000000 bucks you would not get past them here's one for you... th-cam.com/video/2pG_rnnlIp4/w-d-xo.html
This guy has some experience with it. I have owned my 1987 Honda CR500R for 30 years now, and still ride it. All original, including the seat cover, in pristine condition. He starts it without killing himself, the soft kicks are to prime the engine, the fuel and choke are both on. Just sucking fuel into engine. Then a brisk kick after several primes. You can never "flood" a 500. Just too much air moving at each stroke. Mine has never fouled a plug either. I'm still scared to hold it wide open on any terrain, and pavement she'll lift the front tire at anything over 50% throttle no matter what gear it is in. Higher gears it just lifts it faster. Low end torque of a 4 stroke, and top end power of a locomotive going downhill. There really is no powerband or getting up on the pipe. Eats a chain, sprockets, and rear tire once per summer.
I’ve never fouled a plug on any of my cr500’s (86, 92,97 or 03 (service Honda) same goes with my yz490… I run em real oily too, 32:1 Cr’s and 32:1 + a very generous splash in a full tank on the 490… I love these things as I’m sure you do too.
i rode one of them back in 88 (ish) when i was a young'n. Will never forget it, and instantly had admiration for the guys that rode them and made it look effortless. Those bikes are demons.
Keep that bike forever and take care of it. 85’-87’ were the most powerful Honda 2 strokes ever made. 86’ might be the strongest year. That thing is a rocket on 2 wheels!!!
The key with the higher displacement bikes is to find the compression stroke right before TDC and the Combustion stroke and give it a whirl! Also smart to prime the cylinder with some fuel by "walking" the kick starter a couple times.
This short little video is just simply bad ass. Classic lookin guy with a good mustache, cold start on a classic dirt bike. Little fire bbq action. House under construction. Don’t know what’s goin on but i wish i was there hanging out. This one pops up on my recommended a lot
anyone noticed that this guy is from the '86 too he just came from the past to make the video knowing that algorithm would have take this footage to 4 mln people, so kind.
Just got my 86 cr500 fired up for the first time today after a complete rebuild top to bottom. 514cc 91mm wiseco piston. Unbelievable compression, made the mistake of trying to start in a pair of slip on Van's and immediatly hurt my foot. Moved onto a pair of worn workboots but damage was done. Finally got it started tho, I'm not quite tall enough to start the bike without leaning on a wall or up on a stand tho. Bike is huge lol.
I miss my red rocket it was an absolute beast I struggle evan getting on it at 19 lol by far the most exciting bike I've had and I've had my fair share of bike's. I'm more in love with 4 strokes now I'm older got myself a yzf 450 proper machine
I had a '86-I believe that was the most brutal motor/hardest to start and that Honda began de- tuning them after that. I bought mine in almost unused condition in 1989 from a guy who used it to ride wheelies up and down the side of the roadway by his house. the rear wheel had never been off,chain never adjusted and the axel was galvonically welded to the bearings so I took it to a shop to have it removed. I didn't have a driver's permit so when I picked it up my plan was to ride it 20miles down the side of the railway tracks to my home. the flaw in my plan was that the clutch perch was broken making clutch control problematic and there were something like 30 short trestles over roadways and creeks where I had like a 6" wide path to ride across. not wanting to fall off a bridge I would turn the bike off and walk it across and then re-start it. I woke up the next day with my right calf and upper leg swelled to almost twice their normal size...
Wim Rawe Dam, probably couldn't hardly see anything either with it being dark. Learned the same lesson on my Blaster that was bored 0.50 . Took 8 or 9 kicks to fire but they added up after riding all day and shutting it off everywhere I went. God dam heel of my foot was swollen twice as normal and called off work and laid in bed all day because of it. Haha👍✌
I ovned in the 90-s a Honda 600 Enduro only with Kickstarter. I thought this is a simple bike, no starter, it never goes wrong. Well,I was mistaken... This bike gave me very often a hard time... When I was selling it I was very happy and feelt good! Never a peace of sh... Like this again!
My first bike was an 87 XL600R, 4 stroke. It could be a bitch to start. But, it had a sweet spot.. and I knew right where it was. If you deviated from that, it would flood and the only way to start it would be to roll down a hill and pop the clutch. Looks like you know the sweet spot on this bike too
Hopefully 1 day ill be able to rebuild my dads 86. Got all the parts for it and 2 others just not enough time and money. Oh how id love to win the Lottery lol
Freddie mercury never died he just got into dirtbikes
Hahahahahahaah
Lol love Queen
Professor Walrus more power
Is that a two stroke sounds it
michael scott oh u serious?

@@nixonlogos6892 You obviously didn´t. What is your argument?
Yo fr
you nailed it, house is done now. It gives me goosebumps reading your comment.
@@alexlas thank you Alex- it means a lot to me. Best Regards from a German fan.
pay attention people,so far one of the only vids where someone starts a 500 in runners without hurting his foot.
Greg Or Jentr
Only girls get sore feet starting bikes.500 men only.
It might hurt but he
takes it like a man
He also looks like hes over 6ft. I had to lean them against a wall to start from cold. Also they lose compression very quickly when raced.
Simon Templecombe ummmm you sure about that,,,, I know a few girl's at out club, 5000000 bucks you would not get past them here's one for you...

That was my dreambike as a kid, I had a CR125 -82. Oh, the joy!
I could feel my monitor breathing on me
He was afraid of Pablo Escobar
217
I had a 5 minute ride on a CR480 back in the day. Will remember it the rest of my life. What a monster.

The key with the higher displacement bikes is to find the compression stroke right before TDC and the Combustion stroke and give it a whirl! Also smart to prime the cylinder with some fuel by "walking" the kick starter a couple times.
Started 'walking' my old Huskies to save the ankle pain but the kick start was on the other side.
Truly old school.
Thanx for your msg
its a two stroke the compression and combustion are the same stroke.
PowerBand on those is scary.runnin good.
These bikes has sucky weak ignition. That's the problem. Not the compression.
Totally worth the wait. Ringdindindadingahdingdingding.
Pa pa pa pang pang wang dang tang tang
Yup
Is that moustache from 86 also?😁
🤣🤣🤣 totally
Hell yeah it is.
I dreamed of this bike as a kid…..or just the 80…….incredible sound
This short little video is just simply bad ass. Classic lookin guy with a good mustache, cold start on a classic dirt bike. Little fire bbq action. House under construction. Don’t know what’s goin on but i wish i was there hanging out. This one pops up on my recommended a lot
Thank you
Gives me goosebumps listening to that 500 run.
THANK U FOR STARTING A BIKE THE RIGHT WAY! JESUS! TOO MANY KIDS JUST START BANGING THE KICKSTARTER AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR 2 MONTHS
Great video thanks for posting 👍
Those are by far the biggest bedroom slippers I've ever seen.😕✌
"one rounded tooth, make sure you dont kick there"
kicks there
anyone noticed that this guy is from the '86 too
he just came from the past to make the video knowing that algorithm would have take this footage to 4 mln people, so kind.
I like that style OLD SCHOOL
What an amazing sound. We had one of these in the early 90’s as well as a CR 125 😎
Tried to start mine in runners once. Almost broke my foot. Never again.

Legendary...
Che mostro, viene la pelle d'oca a sentirla
That's a real man's bike. 500 two stroke.
Those bikes were beast
this man must have ankles of steel
I loved those, such a rush, needed a decent front end and some thought, but heck it covered the ground.
this guy knows how to start AND handle an old 500cc
That was a great year! Nice smoker!
Just look at that rear suspension 😍
had an 86 also... insane bike. I did it the same way you did. also had a hole on the bottom of my boot. lol. sell me your bike!!!!
1:25 start :D
I think you missed the point of the video
The whole video is the starting thats how you start any dirtbike really
Thanks dude 😃
what an absolute beauty
I had one of those 86. Usually started fairly easy. Threw me off riding it a few times though. Too fast for the suspension and heavy as hell!
First or 3rd kick id be in heaven having that bike
Those CR500 r monsters for ever..I have a 1994..
two strokes and charcoal with Pablo...maybe Freddie! Great video with a happy ending. Brrraaapppp!
That’s my all time favorite MX bike🔥
Been lucky enough to have rode one it’s a scary machine.
Thank god it started I couldn’t listen to ole boy breath any longer
Reminds me my 250 CR '89 I had a few years ago...🙂
The smile when she lights up 😎
what a cool looking bike!
adore this😍❤ motorcycle very much and I hope to get one like it🤗😀
This is the sound of heaven😍😍😍
Take it for a run Mario.
Let's see you in action:)
"My name is Earl"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Brilliant. And so is the program.
You're a hero starting her up without boots. Now and then she would have fucked me up...
Thats a lovely bike 👍
that start made me smile hard !
quick question what is that green/white 2 stroke ath the right back?
A real motor for men, you're left for girls. Big respect 👍
looks awesome
That’s one big man he makes it look like a cr125 I’m 5.10 and my feet just about touch the ground on one of them monsters xx
Cr125 is just as tall
Lovely Honda retro 👌🏽
And this is one of the reasons why I prefer 2 strokes to 4 (1:25)
Are you placing the piston in a specific location in the cylinder?
He is priming the bike and making sure the piston is at TDC
skädäm The intake stroke is travelling towards TDC...
Bakkefication you want it either top or bottom for a better result of start up on first kick
behemothfan666 F T P uhh not really.
H Burke well yes your correct depends if I was referring to the mixture entering the combustion chamber or the mix actually entering the crankcase.
Bro you look like Freddy mercury
likeit292 Mamaaaaaaa uuuuuuUUUuUuuUuuuu
more like escobar :P
I like to ride my bicycle, I like to ride my bike. 🚴
I love the bbq on fire in the bottom screen that no ones adressing
Raoul Dukes Attorney on a cr500. badass.
My name is Emilio Escobar Gaviria and today were gonna be starting my dru- i mean crf500
I ovned in the 90-s a Honda 600 Enduro only with Kickstarter. I thought this is a simple bike, no starter, it never goes wrong.
Well,I was mistaken...

Ciao Mattia
Very nice sound🤩
WOW.
I did that in '86 lol...
Was any one else bothered by how heavy the camera man was breathing?
Mr. Christie nah he’s just converting oxygen to carbon dioxide like the rest of us
Lmao
No
I had the ATV version of this but made by Suzuki and my god those things are monsters.
Quadzilla
Just living the dream
Pro link looks so cool
I had one and it was dangerous but what a rush !!
sana magkaroon ako niyan hehe ang sarap mag motor basta ingat lang din
Very good!
He looks exactly how i imagined him

If you deviated from that, it would flood and the only way to start it would be to roll down a hill and pop the clutch. Looks like you know the sweet spot on this bike too
Those guys are gunna grill some Halloumi! ✌
I can feel the foot pain watching him do that in regular shoes.
I loved Maico 500 and SWM 500 2 strokes at that times...
7 years ago. That bike is worth 5 grand if it still runs.
Very nice kick starting technique, take notes kids
the way you wink after saying "get a few strokes though it" is only slightly unsettling
I've got an 86 XR80 from when i was a kid
the BEAST!!!
WHY IS THERE SOMEONE BREATHING RIGHT INTO THE MIC
Had a 89 KX500...cranked it without a boot on once. Once!
Flawless
I used to have one love it .. and crashed it a few time 😫👍
Wow great motorcycle . this bike is good for 5.6 height?
Hopefully 1 day ill be able to rebuild my dads 86. Got all the parts for it and 2 others just not enough time and money. Oh how id love to win the Lottery lol
