ICW Dirt Bike Radiator Bracing - Incredibly Strong Radiator Repair After Wrecking My Honda CR250!
ICW Radiators, Brett Koufas - icwradiators.com
I hit a 'surprise double' at my local ORV park that left one of my radiators twisted and smashed. The top of a hill lead to a Wiley Coyote style drop off and all I could do was brace for impact! After getting my bike home, I straightened up the radiator, but it was clearly still very tweaked so I decided to give ICW a try.
Brett, owner at ICW Radiators, fixed my radiator and caged in the front and rear so that if this happens again, my OEM radiators will have a decent shot at surviving! Lastly, I can still use my OEM radiator louvers without any modification! Brett is a great dude, I highly recommend you send him your OEM dirt bike radiators to get braced... Especially if there is no aftermarket option for bracing from companies like Devol or Works Connection!

Found A Crusty 1993 Honda CR500 At A Yard Sale For $1200! Hasn't Run In 10 Years! Will It Fire Up?!
Переглядів 20 тис.2 місяці тому
This past weekend, I picked up a worn out 1993 Honda CR500 at a yard sale for $1200! The seller said that this bike hasn't run in over 10 years and I believe her! This CR500 came with a title and spent the majority of its life in Pasadena, California. Her son was the one who rode this bike the most and moved away many years ago. She did mention that he still rides, but prefers a Harley nowadays...

After it lost spark, he lost interest and let it sit for a few years in a dilapidated barn behind his hous...

After a campaigning a YZ490 for years I bought an ex Honda Australia CR500 race bike in '87, omg, that thing was mad, carbon reeds, ported barrel, killer suspension( I think it was white power) no one could catch me. Had to hang onto the bugger though, It would try to buck me off at every twist of the throttle! I would love to have one now but at 60 years of age I think my big bore 2 stroke days are over lol. Always hated that short kick starter. Look after the old girl, they're going up in value , haven't seen one under $10,000 here in Australia for years.
@@timfletcher9907 I will do that sir! I haven’t even ridden her yet, I’ve got the rest of the parts coming from the UK right now actually. Hoping to take it for a rip before it snows in the northwest! Wish we got those CRE500s that you guys got…
I also use a pwk 35 air striker that is a copy. But mine is a copy 90% like the original. China imitates it very well. The logo, and the part number are the same as the original so it's hard to tell the difference. I've bought more than 10 pcs and installed them on my customer's two stroke 125cc bike. The result is very good and it is easy to set! the price is also very cheap which is rm90 (Malaysia) which is 22.5 dollars. very worth it with its very good quality in terms of finishing and setting.
I've got a 97 cr125r never had a problem with any bogging most people don't ride a 125 in the low end you gotta keep the rpms up
great Videos, fun to watch :) would love to see some more cr500 content, greetings from germany

I bet you told the guy it's fucked? You want it for parts? Next time please do me a favor k. You see a bike and it needs a carb job or spark plug something very easy please don't buy it! Most of these people put there heart and soul into these bike and can't figure it out! You and I can get any bike running in a heartbeat! Please don't rip people off!!
@@John-iv6bd I gave him every dollar he asked for which was $1800 🤣
Lol never start a bike you just stole from someone dumass!! You bought it for pennants right basically stole it from the guy! I hope your honest when you Buy bikes buddy. Carma is a bitch never forget that.
Those bikes are very dangerous! I know I owned two CR500s. I could pull 100 mile an hour catwalk like nothing. Lift it up in third gear and start bang the gears off front tire straight up in the air. Anyone who never ridden a 500 has no clue!!
I think ive got this same fake airstriker, its given me great performance over the stock carb and ive jetted and tuned it. Its been giving me great experience cant complain

My PWK 38 JD kit provided a #55 pilot, #175 main and blue top needle at 3rd groove to start. What are the numbers of the jets you installed? I always double check float height on new carbs. My Lectron PRO 38 arrived 2mm out of spec.
for my 1991 CR500, I have a 45 pilot, 175 main and I believe i am on clip 3. Hope this helps!
