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.....
@@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.
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
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.
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 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
Thats how you start a motocross 2t oldschool bike when you have it on Garage for some time with an empty tank and put a fresh good mixture... Owner of Yz 250 2001...
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?
OMG.... almost 2 minutes to start it! LOL. 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.
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

@@smm.
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

Awesome bike!!! 87's were one of my favorite, love the red orange plastic and blue seat with gold anodized rims!!!
Mack_RU42A totally agree with you mate 😉😉👍👍🔝

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
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 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 🤣
I would like to see him on the next GTA as playable character
Arguably the best year for the CR500! Such an amazing bike and very rideable!
I totally agree, awesome bike!! 💓👌🔝
And super sick looking!!👍👍
A guy that cares bout his toy and knows what he is doing
+Brandon Quenneville Can you explan why he is kickstarting correctly ???
+Andrew M What?
+Andrew M Can you explain what the hell you were trynig to say?
Exactly
Brandon Quenneville hmm bout dont you mean about dumbass
That's beast mode. I own an 86 CR500 and totally understand what just happened
I'm just discovering the CR500 and in every video I see someone start one, they all look so proud.
thanks a lot!! cheers from Italy
What a sick bike! My favorite!
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
She is remembering that CR 500 from the old days

Love seeing these old 500s not really a fan of Honda's but when it comes 2d 500s n cr80s absolutely love
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
I had one of those, that’s exactly the way I use to start it,exactly!
this one has a particularly good sound !!
Nice bike for sure in good hands, owning a Honda 125 from '94
Kawasaki kxf 250 '09
Grandma go faster than the CR500 !

Респект вам, мужики, спасибо за видео! Посмотрел-прослезился! ( я на чизе ездил в 1991-1992) удачи вам и храни вас бог.

Bella whip... sempre un gioiellino 😍
Pure unintentional comedy with the grandma walking into the shot.
Awesome kickstart. Nice video describe to your channel have a blessed day.
That 500cc 2 stroke engine drowned out the sound of that dog barking.
Bravo hai aspettato che la signora passasse, anche io quando sto per accenderla se passa una persona anziana attendo....😄😉
È una questione di rispetto 😂😂👍👍
Grandma remember this times, when she was riding on That bike
what a good looking bike mate
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?
Whiplover105
Raced a 87 CR5OO in the expert /pro classes back in the late 80's n early 90's
That’s a pretty clean cr500….damn
Awesome...i love my cr500r👍
Hes so proud of himself i love this guy😄
Amazing suspension
Che bestiaaa!!! Da paura!!! Me so emozionato!!!
I can feel the vibrations through my laptop!
The wee woman just walked past on the stick might have more chance of starting that bike 😂
Que hermosa suena esa moto loco!!! Un Maquinon⭕⚪⭕
cheers from the US!!!

TheThestuntman why was he tilting the bike ??
@@Fb6.Nan0 mix the oil with gas
ayy lmao that’s what a mix jug is for
@@Fb6.Nan0 if you have gas mixed in the bike, you wont drain it, mix it and pour it back in the bike. Oil tends to drop on the bottom of the tank
All neighbours must be loved You
KX 500 was also a beast.
Of course! I own 2 kx 500 and i really love them! Amazing bike 💗🔝
Awsomme bike dude. Mint condition to 👍👍👍
Wicked nice bike,man! Musta scared the BEJESUS out of that old lady lol!

Hot! I wish I could stand behind it and inhale the fumes when you cold start it and rev it worm:)
1:11. Couldn't have planned it better!
Come spaccarsi una caviglia, complimenti !
Se sai accenderla la

This must b from Romania
This is Italy.
@@drew8729 close enough
go play a videogame . this place is not for you
@@KyleXDDDD i don't think s o
I used to kick mine over in trainers all the time . what a performance.
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
i raced my yz 490 back in the day i could basicly just leave it in third gear 500's are crazy fast
You are lucky to own one :D
Ring-ding-ding and away we go. Damn dog and that stupid bark!
Tanks. 350
A wing ding ding ding ding ding.!
2 stroke powah!!!
esos si q eran motos..q sonido mas bonito
this is a demon
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 🚲
Spettacolo
The bomb
Da come l'hai messa in moto, si vede che sai il fatto tuo 😉
Moto belle così non ne fanno più.
I nearly broke my foot with kickback from a cr500 back in the 90s
thats why you should wear boots while kicking that thing
OMG.... almost 2 minutes to start it! LOL.
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.
