I raced and trail rode an 86 CR500 for quite a few years. Torque ported with a 2 lb flywheel weight on it made it docile on the trails as long as I kept it out of the main jet. However if cracked WFO one better be pointing where you want to go, the thing was a beast! Someone once asked me when it hit the powerband. I told him if you could hear it running it WAS in the powerband..

way back in the late 80's , when I was young, I arrived at the track late and as a result I had to run my practice laps with the open class bikes. I managed to fall behind this CR 500 during the practice. I was on a RM 125 and this 500 started pounding me with this roost to my body and bike that I had never experienced before. A couple laps of that Sh*t was enough. I decided that I had plenty of practice lol! A beast for sure!

Hes out powering the other bikes because i think hes running an old 500 in a 450 class, and theres not a big weight difference between the two, but motor size does make a difference

@Charon58 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah the suspension is clearly not as good but when they hit the big uphill it just flies up

Dylan McGuire I would say a new 450 is faster than a 500 twostroke. We testet it with Enduros. And a KTM EXC 450 2018 is faster (race bike).

I was practicing at my local track a few weeks back and got behind a late 90's CR 500 on a big uphill leading into a step up. I took roost along way and it felt like someone was throwing baseballs at my chest.

Patrick Steinmark my dad growing up had an 86 cr500 and tells me stories of running from cops and his bike would pick up boulders in the ground and blow out their windshields. I never really believed it till I started watching cr500 videos and reading comments.

Awesome. The CR 500 still has a lot of power. You could see the rider making up some ground on ascents. I wonder how hard it was to ride this bike, given its older suspension design and less travel versus the newer bikes' designs and travel?

it's a beast, the power is brutal, and suspension is lacking of course, but make no mistake, it's a motocross racer. must have skills to pilot these big boys.

I raced a 1982 KTM 495 in about 1988 and the Hondas totally cleaned my clock. It seemed like they got 14 seconds a lap on me. It was amazing.

A CR500 (or RM, KX, YZ) with a paddle tire in the dunes is untouchable! It takes a bit to get used to the bike wiggling all the time in the sand (unnerving at first), but you you can move through the dunes faster than anything else because you have a ton of power and a single track. Friends on banshees or a quadzilla would try to keep up, but not even close.

you are right, i was going to say the same thing, he should have had them following him on that 500. but like you said, wrong lines and gear. and before anyone says shit about what do in know, i raced a 92 and 94 and a 96 cr 500 and i won my share. also lost my share. but i will say ive never lived like i did when i was on my 500. im 50 years old now a nd if dared by a friend i would buy another one tomorrow and get back into shape. (my kids are grown and ive put them through school so the time i have left, i can trow caution back into the wind.)

You can build a 4 stroke that will match its power all through the rpm range. Not just wide open. You just need deep pockets. And a competent builder who understands flow and valve float issues. Not stock tho!! 😂🤣😂

@jeffbingaman2754 6 жыл бұрын

I started racing in about "74" to "81ish" and wasn't around anything but four strokes until I started racing. Elsinore was my first bike. I got to believing two strokes ruled....until I bought a single four-stroke 500 Yamaha and rode it through the woods in Colorado 20 years later with that supertrap exhaust echoing and that four stroke easily pulling hills. It got me turned on to four strokes in dirt. Nothing like the echo of a thumper grunting through the woods.

Danny "Magoo" Chandler would frequently hole shot Trans USA races on his 1982 LOP Racing Honda CR480 starting in 3rd gear... and that was when they only had a 4 speed gear box! And I mean hole shot by 50' to 75' ever time!! First time I saw him do it was at Mid Ohio, one click up into 2nd then one more click up into 3rd and bam, blew away the pack by 75' into turn one. I about died watching that, what balls, har!! Those were the days:)
