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. Very enjoyable to watch!
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.
Why wasn't this recommended to me a long time ago? UA-cam has failed me yet again. There is so much talent in one garage. Aaron has mad skills & excellent taste to go with it.
Seriously, thank you for keeping it stock looking, particularly a classic like that. No disrespect, but a lot of rebuilds these days when the bike turns in to a 2 wheel advertisement for every nut and bolt and part on the bike is a little played out.
I can't stand 99% of car shows. The only really truly good channel is Millyard's personal UA-cam channel. None of the people watching have an extra $35,000 of some other person's money, to just buy 100% custom parts, and a team of 12 mechanics to do all the work for them. Car shows are completely out of touch with the average person.
It's barks "Back, Back Back, Back"!!! Get behind one and you'll know why. I used to just duck when one was passing me on the track, I knew it would be throwing big rocks at me. 😂😂😂
Rewatching this video again. Best part is his gramps coming to drop it off to his grandson. Missing my grandfather this time of year.. my Christmas seasons haven’t been the same and kind of died since he passed away. Love who ya got while ya got them!
I like watching Aaron work through a project. Very methodic. A good way to go through any project. Was stoked to see a CR500 roll out of the truck. Would like to see more detail on your finishes you use and how to re spoke a wheel.
As an original 90's spanner spinner all I can say say is Old Honda memories here bro!!! I lOVE your garage setup and HELL yeah these bikes command respect!
Thank you for adding the scenes with his daughter. Great to see the real life part. Also, going to be calling the seat company you used to see if they can help me out with my 1990 Africa Twin!
Your "cookie salsa" remark to the young lady shows me that you are beyond a stellar feller you are a real man and a father(just the kind of person who should be procreating i m o) yet another reason why I love your channel.... Fricken "Cookie salsa" 🤘🏼😅♥️
This is a CRINGE comment. But since you said it, go check out the FortNine motorcycle channel. Ryan looks like he is 12 years old, but he talks like a more intelligent Charlie Sheen. He has a tremendous broadcast voice.
I bought a 1983 CR480 in 1986, which opened my eyes to open class bikes coming up from 250s. Sold it a few years later and missed it so much I had to find another one. The 2nd 480 wasn't nearly as clean a specimen, but I've undone a lot of the hacks the previous owner inflicted on it. I still have that bike, knowing how hard it would be to replace it. I bought a brand new CR500 in 2001 which brought me into the water cooled age. I set it up for enduro, for which it is an excellent platform to build on other than the lack of a lighting coil. It has been meticulously maintained and is still my favorite bike of all time. It just feels so natural to me compared to a 4 stroke and is still my first choice of bike for most rides.
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. 😁👍
She’s a ripper! I would love to see you work up a Garage 93 BRP 650r. Two of Honda’s biggest beasts sitting next to each other would be a magicial sight.
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.
@@surg71 I'll need to check with my motor guru Varner on that one, power valve creates back pressure so I'm not getting introducing new ways to regulate air intake so as not to create a lean condition.
Wiesco tells you to do it in the instructions for the piston kit 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?
@@macmckie2238 great explanation i thought i may have something to do with crank case pressure on the intake stroke but i was guessing. Could be for extra oil like old m8 below said also.
It's an oil hole for cooling. The piston fits different bikes Some need the oil hole, some dont. If your bike needs it and the piston dont have it, you have to drill it. Its pretty common to have to drill it on 125s.
Great job man it turned out beautiful I had a 1981 Yamaha YZ 465H that I bought for 100 bucks from a guy he couldn’t get it running and I did what you did completely went through it and then when it was all done that bike was vicious but you can’t beat the CR 500. There’s nothing on the planet like that, good job man good video

So why drill the holes in the piston? Awesome build. Wish I had his patience, knowledge, expertise, .........and shop!
It helps lubricant the cylinder bridge so that it doesn’t wear your piston down as fast
