CR480 / '84 CR500 / '85 CR500 Common Parts??
Hi folks, I've been offered an '84 as a restoration project. The rolling chassis looks complete (but rough) and most of the engine parts are there. The LHS crankcase is missing and I've been told that the gearbox may also be shot. I'm aware that the '84 was a 1-year-only model and is the only year o...

SCOTLAND -Shed Clear Out - LOts of EVO Spares
Hello everyone, I'm clearing-out a whole load of '87 / '88 / '89 spares from my shed. I collected these parts with the intention of rebuilding them into complete bikes, but I've not got the time or the workshop facilities to do so, so I'm putting the lot up for sale. There's around £3000 worth if th...

Kickstart Levers - Will A KX lever fit my CR?
I'm having no luck finding an original '87/'88 kickstart lever. :( I'm in the process of rebuilding an '85 engine to put it into an '88 chassis and have 2 '85/'86 kickstart levers. I hate the position of the '85/'86 levers as I've got to position my foot at a funny angle to avoid smacking my boot of...

OK, looks as though I'm going to overhaul the '85 engine and use it. I think I can remenber reading before that the hole in the swingarm bushings require to be machined-out to accept the '88 swingarm spindle??? Is this correct? Roostius, If you use an earlier engine in a later frame with the low pip...

Will an '85 Cylinder and RHS case fit a '90 bottom end?
Hi guys, Bought a complete '88 bike in VGC a month or so ago. Got alot of spares in the sale too (almost enough to build a nother bike), including an '85 engine. The '85 engine is almost complete, but the crank needs overhauled. I bought another bike at the weekend - '88 frame & running-gear wit...

Mongrel '85 / '88 Motor Rebuild
Hi guys, Bought a complete '88 in really good condition and got a big pile of spares too. Think I've got enough spares to build a second practice bike, but I've got a mix of parts from different years. I've got 2 complete bottom ends - an '85 and an '88. The '85 cases are useable, but the crank has ...

Gen 1 - 4 handling differences
I'm sure it's been discussed before.
What are the handling differences between the different generations?
Looking to buy a gen-2 AF comversion for MX.
Good choice or no?
Cheers,
Ross

I've just been out on the bike for a few hours tonight and my ass is stinging like mad! What do you guys use/wear to prevent the dreaded 'MONKEY-BUTT'? I wear padded cycling shorts, but I always end up with terrible ring-sting. I think my butt hairs are getting pulled out whilst sliding up & dow...

My good lady got me one of these last Christmas. Finally got it out of the box and strapped to the bike. The footage is actually of better quality than I had thought, but the image is a bit shaky due to being strapped to the bike. I'll try mounting it on my helmet next time. ANYWAY! What do you guys...

Had another ride at the local track tonight. I was on my '95 and my cousin was on his '03 CRF 450. We're both equally as fast (or slow would be a better description) and we took turns at riding each other's bikes and raced each other at every opportunity - always very close. I have to say that I tak...

Aftermarket seats for steelies
Does anyone make them?
I'm looking for a higher, flatter more modern shaped seat.
I feel like I'm sitting 'IN' the bike at the moment rather than 'ON' it.

How much difference does servicing the stock suspension and having it correctly sprung for your weight make? My bike's a'95 steelie and ridden back-to-back with my cousin's '03 CRF450, the CRF's sussies are light years ahead. I've wound up the compression damping gradually to stiffen the front &...
