    I’d love to have a two stroker to hop on and rip, but a 500 is a little more than I need. Damn that’s nice.

    That is one sick an beautiful CR 500. I love the two tone color seat, with red and black. I also loved John Greer's red, white, and blue seat. It's the most beautiful seat I have ever seen, next to the GasGas Factory Seat. ML&R.

    @dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 Před 4 lety +5

    My '96 is virtually unmolested to the point that Im still running the stock pipe (that is in outstanding condition!). The only deviations from stock are the silencer, Gold Valve suspension revalving and heavier springs, oversize front disc, and red instead of black radiator shrouds (I prefer the red).
    I allways followed "The Drill" to start mine cold..
    Gas on
    Choke on
    Rock it back and forth a few times
    Neutral
    TDC
    Kick it like you mean it.
    It usually starts first kick! 😎👍

  • @spreaddeezhazelnutz7511
    @spreaddeezhazelnutz7511 Před 4 lety +1

    When you talked about the KX 500s, that reminded me that on a dyno, the CR500s actually make more whp than the KX, and much more torque too. The CR motors also respond to mods very well. With mild porting, Pro Circuit exhaust system and 2mm larger carb, these bikes will make around 62whp just with those mods which is already a lot of hp but this was my supporting knowledge to help support your argument. lol

    • @danielrelph6878
      @danielrelph6878 Před 4 lety

      Kx500 has a far better power spread than the Honda I own both the cr hits harder then peters out the kx is smooth broad and has more overrev those things hook up the cr when its dry and baked out wont hook up spins everywhere unti you let off.

    • @gilly3380
      @gilly3380 Před 4 lety

      Daniel Relph yep. My buddies CR500 will turn inside of my KX and blast out of the corner... But two and a half laps later he's so tired he can't hold on. Meanwhile, the KX is predictably throttle steering hooking up and pulling long-ass short shifts.. making life relatively easy.
