EY3BA11 Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Apparently Dunefreak and wignut have started taking bets on how long it will be before i end up in traction and craig ends up with a new CR500 LOL.. What will it be???? Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 You'll be fine Nick. You know what the torque is like from your 426 now its just getting used to the top end pull of the 2 stroke. Dont let them give you sh*t ....I hope you have a blast on the new bike and congrats Quote
gotsand450r Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 you beat me to the 500, if i was back in the states i would have bought it. looks like an awesome machine. watch out for the high spead head wobble and make sure check all the nuts/ bolts every trip out(lock tight). treat her nice and she'll take care you. treat her bad and i'll be in the hospital Quote
barefoot bob Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 steering stabalizer will fix the notoroius wobble Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Posted August 12, 2007 Has stabilizer.. just needs to be rebuilt... it doesnt hold constant pressure all the way to the lock it quits about half way... Quote
barefoot bob Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 the cool thing isbb is to get the cr 250 aluminum frame and add your components there was a company doing it it made the bikes lighter and turn quicker. !!! 500s rock see you on halloweeny bro Quote

EY3BA11 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Posted August 12, 2007 bert the newer bikes are the new gen 4 CRF250R and X Frames but they use just about all the diffrent frames if need be. The 125 was only used on the Limited edition Service honda bikes. They dont use the 450 frame much but have in the past. Quote
dunefreak Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I say 1 trip out and you either eat sh*t or sell it and buy a Rhino. j/k Let me know if you need me to ever start that biatch for ya! Sanddunesaddict had a problem trying starting his one time. I hopped on it and started it up 1st kick. When's the first trip out gonna be? Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 12, 2007 Author Posted August 12, 2007 got to give the bike a little lovin... alot of the maintenance stuff needs to be done to it and some cleaning... but i plan on a weekend to lancaster for a test and tune as i need to rejet it a little to get it to idle. other than that.. probably kick off weekend in the sand.. And i dont plan on selling it f***k that.. i have been waiting to long to have one of the ultimate dune mocheens. BTW Maxdout couldnt get it started.. I started it for him LOL Quote

Yeah when that happens your leg ends up like jello and kick it anymore. A fresh leg is always welcome Quote
gotsand450r Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 remember 500's like to idle before you shut it down otherwise you have a strong chance of fowlin the plug. i always run a NGK BR8EG plug. how tall are you? i'm 6'4" sometimes for me finding top dead center is a pain. good luck. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Just short of 6' and im gonna order up a couple new plugs tomorrow when i get to work along with a few other things.. Cables (clutch and throttle) Air Filters Tranny fluid 2 stroke oil ( debating between yamalube or castor 927 ) Grips Throttle tube big bottle of Simple Green!! Watter Wetter New front brake line Ratio Rite w/ Lid Call Scotts and see if i can get a submount kit for the stabilizer 2 rear sprockets 1 countershaft sprocket The chains i got with it are decent but will probably order another one That should get me going on the road to a sweet success... and burn up my last paycheck from thumpertalk LOL.

EY3BA11 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Hey dan i see you lurkin in here... you got any insight on tuning these big b*tch's??? need to get the idle situated? Quote

I vote for Yamalube, I have ran it in all my 2 strokes and it has never left me with a problem, Rocky mountain ATV have the best case price that I know of. Also Congrats Nick, youhave more cajones than me riding them things in the dunes! Edited August 13, 2007 by ynot Quote
gotsand450r Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 the hardest part to keep on the bike was this little bastard(see pic) it keeps the head pipe and the silencer to the frame.it rubber and helps with the vibration of the monster 498cc power plant. its almost like you need to tighten it down every ride. ive replaced about 8 or so in the 7 years ive had mine. oh yeah motor mount bolts check those to. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I second the Yamalube!! Once you get the bike warmed up see where the choke/idle is.You can adjust this a little,if you go to far you just wont have a choke. Pilot jet will adjust the idle. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Posted August 13, 2007 Hey bert... ill pay with milk and cookies if ya wanna come over next weekend and help a feller out Quote
1bad4fiddy Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 castor 927 , thats what ive ran for yrs , i got a atc 250r , with about 6 yrs on the top end never had one prob Quote
Warrior07 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 you probly know this but the best way i've learned to start those biatchezz was to lean them over til gas starts to run out of the overflow tubes by the way congrats saw maxdout at lowes yesterday said he sold it to ya Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 woohoo.. did a compression test.. All is good.. so now its just a cleanup and retune the carb and im set.. WOOHOOO... Quote
lvnalolife Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I have a whole bunch of those little bottles of Yamalube I got from ynot. It will take me a while to go thru all of them. You can buy a couple off me if you want. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 i just got a 1/2 gallon bottle of oil so im set for a while.. Quote
