www.yamahaenduro.com has a lot of guys that probably have that information. But, I've about been banned twice so, be careful until you get your info. :lol: Don't accuse anyone of being a pillow biter or a bed wetter. :) I knew you're a good shit. You take the harassment and are still willing to hel...

No powervalves ever, not on the smaller bikes.

Actually that is what I was using, either boats.net or cmsnl.com parts fiche, but neither of them provide the specs, just part #'s and diagrams. I am searching for specs from yamaha which will tell me the changes from year to year etc. The engine cases from the two separate engines are identical, bu...

I've already showed this beauty off in the Classifieds section as I'm looking for parts, but I suppose I should also post it up here. I found this roach locally and couldn't pass it up, even though what I was really after was an 84, what the hell, 2 85's can't hurt! :wink: Not going to be a breaking...

Yes, I'm aware that this is not the "YZ 80 Riders" site, :lol: but I'm in the middle of a project and am having difficulty locating the info I'm after. I've already posted on another general know-nothing site with no feedback, but figure there's plenty of knowledge here. The bike is an 84 ...

I agree, first gear is kinda useless if you have the close ratio tranny. If you port it, it will become the scary gear. You'll be looking like this through your goggles---- :shock: Or performing new tricks such as "climbing the chain" :wink: Damn. Didn't kiss me or buy me dinner. :lol: :l...

Not to push you one way or the other, but what condition is your 450 in? if it has been riden hard for 2-3 years without a rebuild it could be a ticking bomb that you would be better off without but then I'm not a fan of the 4poke, too many parts flying around in there! Ha ha ha, sounds like a man ...

If you like the way your Yamaha handles put a 500 engine in it.(Just a thought). Thats an even better idea, as others have mentioned, ALL bikes you buy have "freshly rebuilt engines", doesn't really mean dick! You could sell your engine for a small fortune and go from there, rather than c...

If I were you, I would think long and hard about it and weigh out all the pros and cons. Everybody here can tell you what you want to hear but in the end it's your own ass you'll be kicking if you think you fucked up! It took me several months and several "laundering trades" before I final...

Quick turnaround!!!!

If Rue has that pipe still, GET IT! No better pipe than that. Throw this oNe I have aside for a spare. I haven't heard back from him yet, just assumed it was already spoken for. By the way you're talking, it sounds like a FATTY! (I wouldv'e never guessed it was anything other than a Gnarly!) And st...

Sounds like a deal only a fool would pass up! I was going to buy the FMF from Rue but you had first dibs on it, anyway, this sounds much better (and more in my price range at the moment). If you could PM me with pics and shipping price, that would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds good, thanks. Anyone have an exhaust they want to sell, this one is smashed, dented, welded, bent, and beyond repair, I would say....

Been searching for a while now for an 83/84, but came across this one locally. It runs, but as you can see, needs a TON of TLC. I'm not sure if I want to restore it just yet, or possibly try to flip it in the spring, or just keep it as a "running parts bike". https://bannedcr500riders.com/...

Did you sell the water pump cover? If not, I'll take it.

Awesome bike and pics, keep it up! Have you tried injecting epoxy or glue into the plastic around the brass inserts in the tanks? Or spin em til you can pull them out, clean up and put back in. Or last one is heat them using a soldering iron until it liquifys the plastic around allowing them to gra...

The Blazer alone will do that, no need for the bug deflector.

So did you get the Hondazuk dialed in yet? Looks like a sweet ride!

I'm on my way.....

Anybody here ever owned or rode a CR 450 (not a thumper, smart-ass!). I'm looking at another "project", and the guy seems to think it's an 81 CR480, that's what the dealer told him! I'm trying to get serial #'s out of him to indeed determine if it's an 82 480, or in fact, an 81 450, which ...

Where do I get some of this?

I almost lost my ballsack over this rule! Your turn now.

Don't be dissin! They're family, woo woo!

I've been kickin' it around, but last year seemed a little lack-luster.... http://bannedcr500riders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=10348 I vote for really outragous gifts this year, to get things back on track. If were doing this.... we need to get on it... QUICKLY!!! Who's in? Roosty Me ? ? ? ? ? OK, w...
