CR500 AF Supermoto vs Roadracers

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ค. 2012
  • An eventful twostroke trackday at Sviestad Racetrack in Linköping Sweden.
    Mostly Aprilia and Honda RS125's and 250's there and the odd 50, 350 and RG500 racer. The CR500 was definitely the oddball and I thought it would be slow compared to the proper racers.
    I was wrong =)

    When I was younger I owned a 1985 CR500R and it was a beast, just an incredible amount of power. I’m 55 now but I’d love to find another one just to have it, bring back memories and such.

      Better have lots of cash on hand to buy one now days. Pandemic made more people realize that most likely a 500 2 stroke motocross bike will never be built at factory level again. Paid $2500 for a great condition 87 CR500 last year, but now price is more like 5k! Not even a year later. Its one of the prices that will not go back down post-pandemic (post-stimulus). Good luck!

    • @iggy3200
      @iggy3200 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +JETZcorp One possible explanation is that the lean condition actually gives a bit more horsepower.. while it does run hotter, it delivers a bit more power than a rich or stoichiometric condition.

    • @JETZcorp
      @JETZcorp 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      iggy3200 That's usually more true on main jets though. The lean sound is happening on a closed-throttle, indicating it's the pilot that's too lean.
      My guess is, like the 750 Kawasaki, the engine design just resists tuning in that speed-load region. In the case of the 750 it's caused by too large an intake port volume resulting in poor signal to the carb. On a CR500 with reed valves I don't know.
