      It happens. Mostly because people don't give it a few slow kicks to start with and they ignore finding TDC which is fairly simple. Even then, there's at least a dozen broken kickstarters from my dad's bikes hanging in the shop from late 90's CR500's and KX500's up to '98.

      That's because the bike will kick you back when you kick it over. Must find TDC first, and avoid loading the cylinder with fuel.

      I knew a kid who actually had it happen to him. He bought the bike wanting a bigger bike than his 300KTM so he traded his KTM for the CR500 cause the guy who owned it before was almost afraid of it. I wouldn’t go that far but he was definitely weary of the bike and my friend, who is a great guy and a very good friend but sometimes he has the absolute worst ideas of anyone I’ve ever met. He showed us the bike and he was the happiest I’ve ever seen and he went to start it and I told him bud you may wanna watch it those things are monsters. He kicks it over and we heard SNAP! And he looked like he just shit a brick, he hopped off the bike and fell immediately after landing in his ankle and through the tears we heard TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL! so we rushed him to the ER and told the doctor what happened and the doctor goes oh God. We asked what he meant by that and he goes I’ve seen this before. He said he’d seen it about 5 or 6 times in the 90’s and 2000’s and that he thought it was the last time he’d see something like that but apparently not. He told us to invest in a MX boot or brace to keep from snapping that twig of an ankle. We laughed so hard that he just burned our friend like that but my buddy recovered and actually rode the bike for a bit but found out he just didn’t have enough room to really let that monster eat

    Might be a bit late to the party (sorry), but this is the first video I've seen of Colton where he's not just riding and it was still awesome!
    What a super chill dude he is. We all know Colton is a gifted rider, but it seems like he's also a very organized mechanic and very relaxed in front of a camera.

    I used to ride a YZ490 back in the day. Geared up for max top end. Still had enough torque to rip a huge rooster from standing. We used to ride every weekend from Friday arvo to Sunday night. Fire trails, sand dunes, steep hills, creek crossings, you name it. There were 6 of us, sometimes more, and we were competitive. Every time we rode, it was a race.
    It was the most fun I ever had. These days, at 63 yrs old, I'm riding a WR450F. It's just not the same.

This was the last big bike he had and he rode it like it was nothing. I was 10 and always stood stood in awe of his bikes because they were huge to me but I never appreciated his riding skills until I got older. He had been riding since he could walk and was the toughest sob I have ever known. Great video

    I don't believe the power of these bikes is what makes them a beast. Honestly my 450 still scares me more with its speed.
    But what shocked me the most about the 500s, was the violent vibrations from the motor and how quickly it wears your arms out. Like it was just evil how this bike wears you out purely with its own idle. Definitely one of the most interesting and fun bikes I have been given the chance to ride
    Shame the prices nowadays just make them a museum piece

    I miss my 1994 cr125 high compression, pipe, reeds, lightened crank and rod, and all the goodies on c16 with castor 927. I raced AMA district 16 for a long time. 125jr and 125B. That bike ripped, would easily keep up with mostly stock 250s. I miss those days so much. I was lucky enough my uncles buisness was one of my sponsors so every race I had new Dunlop soft tires, air filter, filter spray, fuel, and oil. I wish I was 16 again. Favorite track was always Fond Du Lac Wisconsin, the step up there after the first turn was huge. 4th gear wide open all the way through the face, easily land 100 or 120 feet out. Then always arenacross in Rockford Illinois that was always a fun track too, not nearly as fast but very technical. Glen Helene was always more of a Motocross track then a supercross track, and so sandy.

      Old school 2 stroke trick. Because the 500 doesn't have a power value to release cilinder pressure at high RPM, the "piston port" does the job.. was very popular on the old KX 60 to improve over rev.
      Think of it like putting your finger over the end of a syringe in the pull action there's a limit to the speed air is pulled into it.. release a bit of pressure the speed that it fills increases.
      Same inside the cylinder, that's why power values were invented..
      That my interpretation of it anyway.

      If I recall on my 91 cr 250 the hole was to allow some extra lubrication for the bridge on the exhaust port. However I don’t think the 500 has the bridge??
      So maybe it just ads a bit of extra lube to the cylinder above the port?

    • @AaronColton93
      @AaronColton93 4 года назад +3

      It was recommended from Wiseco on the CR500 with the style of its Exhaust Bridge. This is their info note: Relieving the exhaust bridge will make sure there’s no expansion past the cylinder wall, but you still want to make sure you keep the heat as low as possible. With small holes drilled into the skirt of the piston, oil underneath the piston will makes its way through the holes, and lubricate the contact point between the piston and exhaust bridge. Better lubrication means less friction, and less friction means less heat, which is what you want to make sure that you don’t have any abnormal wear.

      @@AaronColton93 Thanks so much for this explanation! I was completely stumped and now the world makes sense again. I've only "rebuilt" a couple of engines my entire life, so I'm not exactly up on special techniques that optimize part performance above and beyond factory specs and drilling the piston skirt was definitely a new one to me. Rebuilt in quotes because in one instance, my first, I shattered the piston skirt on my clapped out Honda "Red Rider" 125 and basically just replaced the piston after fishing and flushing the piston crumbs out of the crankcase. Not my proudest moment, but I sold it some time later still running quite well for an '80 125 2 stroke engine. Thanks again for enlightening me. 😁👍

    I remember my first experience with the 500 very well. Practice day at a track in Tyler Texas called Swan raceway. I’ve been riding my 250 most of the day and one of my buddies brought that man killer with him. I thought I was going to be cool make a couple of laps before we went home on that widow maker. Got on the starting gate and noticed the rear tire would not fit in any of the grooves cut by the 250s and I thought that was kind of cool. I wicked it and before I could exhale I had a black streak on my chest protector from the rear tire and a broken foot. Thanks but no thanks, fuck that machine from the depths of hell

      basti1255 perfectly true, keeps it cool and helps keep the metal on the bridge at the same expansion rate as the surrounding metal in the bore. The gases pumped thru the holes achieve this as well. I am not a mechanic but I do my own motors so others may know more on this subject. When you buy a piston from Wiseco it has instructions on how and why to drill these holes.

      Yes, on the exhaust port there is a division, idk how it's called in english, anyways, water does not cool it so it expands with heat and there is a risk to seize the piston. By making holes on the exhaust side oil will get on it and will cool it down more and it will lubrificate to help it now seize, hope you understand it
