know a dude named Anthony from a cr500 group on facebook who has videos of him kicking over a freshly built 87 wearing a pair of sandals haha it's pretty ballsy.
I always remember my dad showing me how to start his BSA 650 twin in his slippers😂, I was impressed to say the least. I also managed to master kick starting the beast as a young boy but I didn't take the slipper route
@@jetstream454 if they don’t have an accelerator pump, it’s all in the head. When you see am older Harley getting pumped, it’s actually squirting fuel into the carb, like a car did. Pumping a bike without a pump is like pump fuel injection, nothing is squirting anywhere. Perhaps your slide is sticking up a little and the pumping is closing it back where it should be. If not, there is no other explanation as nothing is accomplished from it.
from the comments on this video it's easy to tell that a lot of these posters have no first hand experience with a CR500. They are HARD to start and foul plugs very easily at low speeds with the stock jetting. A smaller pilot jet will clean up the bottom and virtually eliminates the fouling but they are still very hard to start. I think the problem is in the kick start ratio Honda chose for this engine to make it easier to start. It kicks over very easily especially for a big with this displacement unfortunately you don't get enough revolutions, making it hard to start. Once started there is nothing like it except maybe a KX500. In the desert, this is my favorite bike of all time to ride. There is nothing more exciting than having a bike that will pull 4th gear wheelies in a sand wash by simply twisting the throttle.....
I had a 86 Cr 500. I was in Slave Lake Alberta in a motor cycle shop and they had one. I asked if I could start the bike. He said if you can start it wearing those shoes you can take it for the weekend. It fired first kick. They all looked at me like I was a god. Needless to say I took it for a rip. Apparently know one in the shop could get it going.
I love the older bikes especially from the mid to late 80s they are a more comfortable ride. That bike is a fucking beast! I’d love to take it for a rip
+Verva Music thanks a lot, of course the bike and his engine are on top of the shape, had a totally rebuilt in 2012 and run for 10 hours since that. I love this bike and I think it's one of the best motocross bikes ever built!! ;)
+Verva Music I think you should change your idea and make your choice on a 500cc 2 stroke bike man!! You won't regret about that ehehehehe :-) I started with this 87 cr5 for first and now I ended up with 6 500cc 2 stroke mx bikes!! ahahaha Crazy!!

@@Whiplover105 nice. Ya I’ve got the 86 with the tiny lever, I tried one of the newer style ones on my bike, but it didn’t clear the pipe. I don’t know if you’ve seen my video of my 86, but I mention how inconvenient it is. Thanks for the info!
@@alexlas yes I've seen it and I know well that problem, that's why I've changed the oem lever on my 87. Unfortunately that lever is no longer available as a new oem TM spare parts and the newer ones are longer, you'll have the same situation of the 89-01 cr 500 lever hitting the pipe. 😉
That is the most MORONIC statement for how to start a 2 stroke anything, You need a 4 stroke because you obviously know nothing about 2 stroke, that fuel goes where after it passes through the reed assembly?
I used to kick mine in my bare feet in my underpants on a wet cold Wednesday morning, lads in bike shops used to tell other lads in bike shops how great I was at starting them 😂
Just starting that thing is cool but in trainers no way if it backfired it'd take your shin off ,Maicos 490 had a decompression valve and a little like bmx lever on handlebars for helping kickstarting
@@Whiplover105 secondo me sarebbe una bella idea pubblicare un video dove la mostri e la accendi tot anni dopo... Prendi in considerazione la mia idea e vedi cosa farne!!😉😃

Great kickstarting of that beast without biker boots!
never had that trouble with my 87 cr 500. it was a sexy machine. a pure joy to ride. roost on

I eventually could cold start mine in my slippers!! Seriously,I've been starting them since I was 13 yr old
Biker boots...lol.
6yrs ago but deserves a reply......
I start my CR500 with adi tubular X's on ya wimp 🤣
Awesome bike!!! 87's were one of my favorite, love the red orange plastic and blue seat with gold anodized rims!!!

Old I know , but I’m ALWAYS amazed at people pumping the throttle on carbs that don’t have a pump. It does exactly nothing.
Carb slide can stick from gummed up oil and gas, just making sure it’s sliding correctly
I seem to have an easier time starting my carbed bikes from cold after a couple pumps
Gotta choke er

What a sick bike! My favorite!
thanks a lot!! cheers from Italy
Love seeing these old 500s not really a fan of Honda's but when it comes 2d 500s n cr80s absolutely love
lmao you almost gave grandma a heart attack
I think she was trying to help him with a tip but as you can see he waived her off lol

Pure unintentional comedy with the grandma walking into the shot.
Madò i parapolvere dei dischi e della forcella e quel motorone poi...80's nel cuore!!!
Nice bike =).
I could start my Husky 500 in sneakers too before I changed the CDI.
Now it's like that dog in the background.
+Nikel87 thanks man, I saw some vids of your Husky and sounds very strong, fantastic!! Why is it too hard to kick now with the new CDI?

The wee woman just walked past on the stick might have more chance of starting that bike 😂
Hes so proud of himself i love this guy😄
Grandma remember this times, when she was riding on That bike
I can feel the vibrations through my laptop!
Awesome kickstart. Nice video describe to your channel have a blessed day.
this one has a particularly good sound !!

Of course! I own 2 kx 500 and i really love them! Amazing bike 💗🔝
Come spaccarsi una caviglia, complimenti !
Se sai accenderla la
accendi anche senza scarpone
The grannny tho she was fosho lovin the scenery
yes, back and forth with 3rd gear in and throttle wide open, just to let the fuel go better through the reeds and then inside the cylinder
thats why theres a choke lever or button.
That is the most MORONIC statement for how to start a 2 stroke anything, You need a 4 stroke because you obviously know nothing about 2 stroke, that fuel goes where after it passes through the reed assembly?
JerseyCasull454 rolling the bike back and forth is just a way of priming the bike and makes it a lot easier to start
Wow so many tricks to start it....even granny thought :wow!!!!
This must b from Romania
This is Italy.

Awsomme bike dude. Mint condition to 👍👍👍
I used to kick mine over in trainers all the time . what a performance.
1:11. Couldn't have planned it better!
this bike is a fucking monster!!
You are lucky to own one :D
Ahhhh the smell of two stroke in the morning
Nothing better 😬
Hot! I wish I could stand behind it and inhale the fumes when you cold start it and rev it worm:)

Try this -
Gas On
Choke On
Put in 2nd gear, rock it back and forth two or three times
Put in back in neutral
Breath on the kick starter and it'll be running.
One day you'll be stroking it thru like that with gym shoes on and it'll kick back and take the sole of those Vans right off.
Badass Bike She sounds Angry it's called a Widow Maker.
i raced my yz 490 back in the day i could basicly just leave it in third gear 500's are crazy fast
Che bomba! Bello anche il 2 e mezzo

Ring-ding-ding and away we go. Damn dog and that stupid bark!
Very good.. good vídeo.
I nearly broke my foot with kickback from a cr500 back in the 90s
thats why you should wear boots while kicking that thing
the legend is kicking a 500 with sneakers..... strong feet bro xd
It is dangerous cause it can hurt your leg, but could poke a hole in our brand new favourite shoes too!
Esa moto esta muy chingona old school
it's better you do this to let go the fuel inside the cylinder. This bike has lot of compression and this procedure make it start easier.
Man you get dumber by the reply, Google how does a 2 stroke engine work, learn from it so you stop sounding like a total ASS
this is a demon
Que hermosa suena esa moto loco!!! Un Maquinon⭕⚪⭕
Che mezzo!
who else thought that poor old lady was going to get frightened into the grave
The bomb
Great looking bike, I have a 1987 honda cr125 and race it
My 86 YZ 490 was a bitch to start as well! Broke both tibias and a collar bone thanks to that bastard! Oh to be 20 and stupid again!!!
sound good........congratulation
2 stroke powah!!!
why was he slowly kicking it over before actually kicking it over?
He was kicking it over slow to suck fuel into the engine and prime it
on day I will find a bike like this !
I hope so for you man, that's one of the best mx weapon ever made ;)
its got the gold wheels , the correct seat, and yellow number plates! if u ship to the us , we can do a wire. will wire funs today
Nice job 👏
Not your first ride I see 👍🇺🇲😉
Thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻
Lying it down,rocking,twisting throttle ahahahahahahahahah
You guys kill me
Think she might need a rear shock. Nice bike.
