Nothing wrong with air cooled. Less parts to go out. Don’t have to worry with water pump or the magnesium crankcase cover corroding.Use 110 leaded race fuel mixed at 32:1 with high quality 2 stroke oil like Maxima castor 927 you won’t have any issues. These CR500’s run hot no matter what. So use and oil that can withstand lots of heat and mix at 32:1 4 ounces of oil to a gallon of fuel
That’s awesome😀 I have a 2000 model CR500, but rarely get to ride it… Here in Norway all those hikers would have called the cops on me immediately😂 But sometimes I take her out for a rip though, but I have to do some careful route planning before going out in the wild.
@@TopRevs Hei. Jeg holder til i Tromsø. Akkurat nå er Hondaen demontert. Jeg fant en sprekk i venstre motorhalvdel som må sveises, så nå blir det lite kjøring. Vet du om noen som kan sveise cross-motor i Norge? Vurderer å sende hele motoren til USA eller UK og få den fullstendig restaurert. Mange kule sykler på siden din. Jeg kjører yz125 og zx9r også👍
@@TopRevs Yamahaen er 2004 (tror jeg). Den står oppe i Finnmark hos noen slektninger hvor det går an å kjøre😀 Her i tromsø er det håpløst. Sønnen min kjører rm85, han er flink til å komme seg ut. Han har en kompis i nord-Troms hvor de kjører mye. Blir stort sett vei-sykkel på meg for tiden, og mekking på div prosjekter
Use the R1369N needle on 3rd clip postion. Air screw turn it all the way in clockwise til it stops then back it out 1.5 turns out counterclockwise. Main jet should be 168 main and 65 pilot. Make sure the carb is the Keihen PJ21A carb so you know that’s the stock carb
Sounds like everything is stock nice work, Notice the hair-line throttle, Dont knock your teeth out! This is a pure racing bike not really meant for small trail riding Enjoy!!!
Youd be supprised. Power can come out of no where randomly. But she does well on the trail side dosent over heat know i have jetting diled. But what a fun bike to ride. Be new video soon stay tuned.
Pull your handle bars toward you to save the arm pump The earlier handle bars are a different bend as to ride confortable not so far forward.The baffle needs re packing and I honestly can tell you its down a little on power check your water pump o how much has eaten away from sitting to long. check reeds it may need rings maaybe piston and rings ,you kick that over way easy.
Mix you oil an fuel ratio a little rich.. make sure smokes.. an 2 you gotta let the big dog eat! Open her up! You never hit the power band but a time or 2.. she's not a putting around bike or any 2 stroke for that matter.. an also check your water pump an radiator an if necessary clean them out..
@@TopRevs was a bad air leak on intake boot. Fixed. Just fitting new rads. Gone to 170 main 62 piolt for know. Just havent had time to ride it for new video so far.
I raced my 84, it was awesome. I rode a buddies 85 and 89, and im still smiling..that bike will get your heart pumping. Hang on to it.🤠👍🍻
Sounds nice and crispy! Those trails look fun too. I think you came up with a great slogan... "Honda CR500R...It'll get ya outta the house!!" Cheers
Yr 500 sounds excellent, very cool place to ride also 👍
HELL Yeah 👍 i got the 84 cr500
Nice man. Was going to get a 84. But the air cool put me of.

You are a skilful rider. Great bike, it's cruising easily over the trail.

Hvor i Norge holder du til? Jeg har en 1985 Cr 500 selv, sjekk ut kanalen min😉

I got stock carb but have taken it to 62 piolt and 170 main. Going to put it too 60 piolt and 172 main. Will be correct jetting for my location
@@kenduro2222 what’s your elevation and weather temp at? I’ll do the math for you and get you jetted perfectly 👍 make sure you run 32:1 in that bike
@@blanchard899 il have to look it up. Bike in bits a mo. Doing a restoration
If it's running warm and your happy with the jetting you might want to inspect the water pump, one problem area of those
That sounds lovely and crisp just mind how you go on it as they are pure evil love it

What’s a hair-line throttle ?
@@davidtowler8778 i could be wrong. But i think its where the throttle is really responsive. From the set position
If its running lean check the left side crank seal
Was a tear on intake manifold. Supprised it even run like it. All fixed know tho.

Thanks for the advice bud. Also think she needs a little work. Will be getting new carb. Reeds. And rads. Also water pump area has been updated

I mix at 125 of oil per 5 liters of fuel. Hard to open it up everywhere so much power lol. Thanks fot the advice tho
Way to much bike for that place
Race bike for trail riding. Great idea.
@@matthew3136it does good in trails
what jets are you running? do you use the stock ignition?
Yea stock ignition. 170 main 65 piolt. Think its a air leak.
@@kenduro2222 I run 170 main and 60 pilot in my 85 Cr 500. Seems to run very good.

Upjet 1# higher and she will run cooler and grow wing's 😂
