    I've had a 89 and a 93 model CR 500. Loved those bikes. Depending on the distance of the start I did 3rd gear starts. Didn't rev the motor too much, like on a 250 or 125, let out the clutch as needed and rolled on the power to cut down on wheel spin. Pulled many hole shots. As another guy stated, don't tap out the rpm's for the power like on a 250/125. Go one gear higher and let the torque work. I would love to have another one just to play on now.

    Hear the way it's idling? A little high, a little unstable? That tells me the crank seals are leaking. Leaky seals lead to a fried piston. They're easy to change, just spike or drill a hole in the metal face of the seal and thread in sheet metal screw, then use pliers to pop it out. Be careful not to damage the shaft or the hole. Put a little grease on the running surface of the new seal and gently tap it into place.

    As a young teen I pestered and pestered my old man to ride his YZ490, eventually he gave in. Didn't crash but only rode it once. Respect to those who can ride these fast. Their totally nuts.
    With all respect the 450f don't have the juice these do and they're a fair bit harder to ride. The four stroke is more like riding an armchair vs being strapped to dynamite.

    • @marklowe7431
      @marklowe7431 9 років тому +6

      koolerryan My comment wasn't intended to offend. It's pure physics. My point purely states the 450's have a power curve that makes them easier to ride/race. Put all those 4S riders on a 2S and see if they can ride with the same pace? Consider you jump on a 2S 500 and go flat out, I'm confident you find it a lot more difficult to ride than your KTM. Not faster, harder.
      The 450's have technical advantages now that their pwr/weight is close. It's not a bad thing. So with that in mind I believe 2 strokes req far more attention to pwr control skill than a 4s to achieve the same result. Hence the armchair comment was meant in humor. Of course they're fast.
      As for the 450's being ahead at first refer to point one.

      No fuck everyone that doesn't agree with him. He's right 2 strokes require way more strength than the four strokes. They create so much more response and power it's unbelievable. One moment your cruising and the next your wheeling in powerband. In general 4 strokes are much easier to ride hands down!

    • @marklowe7431
      @marklowe7431 9 років тому +3

      John Biddle You're missing the point, I'm not saying a 2S is better, I'm only saying that they can be more difficult to ride fast. It has nothing to do with fanboy. Both 2S and 4S have their own advantages.
      Find a 2S 500 and try it for yourself.
      P.S Dude, you need anger management........... try riding a 2S 500, it will humble you.

      Most of the reason is emissions. Maybe the answer is an lubricating oil that's not harmful. Two strokes would be in again. Saying that, the 4 strokes in a way are already achieving the same.

    I've raced more than 9 years in Belgium only riding 500 'cc two stroke strating in 86... first year on a Husky 430 CR, then KX 500 for two seasons to be convinced that my four CR500R where really the best joyful motors ever... Oh boy, I really miss those days. Anyway, thank you guys for the revival.

    Thanks for posting! It was good to see a 500 back on the track. But coming from someone that raced 500's for years, your riding it like a 250. Shift up and use the meaty part of the mid range. Thanks where they pull the hardest, 500's are fairly flat on top. Again, thanks for posting.

    I owned a 1992 cr500 and let me tell you. All out speed no 4 stroke can hang with it but in the trails you are at a disadvantage trying to maneuver such a big bike. They do vibrate like crazy.

    Always loved the idle of those big bore 2 strokes. They vibrated horribly, I had a buddy that had one that was a beast but sheesh I couldn't stand riding it due to the vibration you got through the handlebars.

  • @GRowe1978
    @GRowe1978 10 років тому

    Nice job, those bikes are a handful. I had a CR500 ice bike that I got dirt cheap because the motor grenaded. The piston broke in half and kept running until the rod jammed in the exhaust ports. It had holes in the crankcases through the bottom and into the transmission I had to get welded up. Once I got that sorted out, it was just as terrifying as ever!!! Everyone should own one at some point in their life!

    Its nice to finally see someone really ride a CR500, instead of video after video of people just starting their bike and taking off. If your that fast on a CR500, you NEED to race a CR500AF!

    Great job of getting 2nd out the gate to Tim Ferry although awesome video! Any 500 Two Stroke from 88’ to 93’ is a great bike for the 500’S I love were we now put 500 motors in 450 frames! What I don’t understand is when Travis Pastrana put a CR 500 motor in a RMZ 450 frame why not just use Suzuki’s 500 from the quadzilla 500 four wheeler!?

    Love to see him ride my old 83 model YZ 490 K. Was built for the Finke Desert Race back in 84. It makes a normal 490 feel slow.. believe it or not, its one of the smoothest bikes to ride with 14 inches of travel either end. Hasnt run for nearly thirty years, just sits in m shed. I also have a CR 480 that is shmiko. Even that feels slow in comparison. The most daunting thing about the Yz is the hieght of it, but when ya sit on her she sits just a couple of inches higher than standard. Its bitten and thrown off nearly every single person who ever rode it. Its like riding a 125 style motor but in 600 quantities. 120 mph piece of piss when she ran her desert gearing

    I had the "pleasure and honor" of owning 3 Cagiva 500's! 1986-87, WMX500. 2 ran, one was parts bike. Weighed about 265. the handling was like a lead sled. an XL650 with lots of HP. Sold them in 1999. And I had a 1985 Cagiva 125. Power band was Zero hp to 8000rpm and then it made about 27hp from 8-10,000rpm. It was hard to launch and ride without bogging the engine, it wanted to be on the pipe.
