Chains too tight.... The chains on these bikes ( 81-83 CR450 and 480's ) are no joke. Just a smidge too loose and it skips the front sprocket when you let off the gas. It doesn't matter with or without that cheezy chain guard / cover thing and then your welding up the case. If your lucky enough to ...

I'm sure it will look really nice when your done with your under the wife radar sneaky build. Stash it behind your '85 under a blanket and go covert. :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm glad someone has confidence in this project working out, I'm still not so sure on this one.

Hope you figure the cam out and get some ride footage for us. Ever had a bike apart for 2 years and try to put it back together? Every time I turn around I have to go on a scavenger hunt. Now, I;m looking for a solitary cylinder head stud :cry: What's aggravating is I used sandwich baggies and trie...

I hate to see a bike parted out but, that one has a lot of original parts that are in demand. Some guy has an '81 front number plate for $175 on the swapmeet. The shifter is original too. If you're gonna get rid of it try the vintage swapmeet. http://www.vintagemx.us/cgi-bin/swapmeet.cgi No, I was ...

Stupid-good idea...
Still undecided, but the price was right, so I had to go for it. The way I look at it, this machine cost me absolutely nothing. Traded a bike that was supposed to be for my brother-in-law, but he lost interest and we gave up on it. I pretty much got back what I had into it, and now just traded it of...

I didn't really pay attention to whether or not it lingers like you said, but good point. No compression release, if it's coolant it has to be the head gasket. Others said tranny oil being sucked in through the main seal or possibly even case gasket, but I really can't see that being the case if it ...

White Smoke
Have minimal hours (2 point something, I believe), on the fresh rings and water pump rebuild of the 85, everything seemed good, passed the leakdown test and the water pump seemed great, no leaks anywhere. I had the neighbor kid bugging me to fire it up one night when I had been drinking, and I could...

Now I'm just pissed, the little bastard has it posted on Kijiji for sale. :evil: I helped him all I could, let him borrow tools, gave him free parts, and now he's trying to turn a profit on my generostupidity. I'm just waiting for the day his new pipe comes in and he asks me to jet it for him. :piss:

Well, after tripping over bike parts for several months and accomplishing next to nothing since I tore the engine apart, I began getting depressed looking at this thing. Come home from work in the evening and just don't have the time or ambition to work on it with the love that it deserves. The neig...

Pretty nice setup, a lot of guys put them together over time, but I didn't have the patience for that shit. Wanted it NOW, s...

I had a really high compression '86 nd no one could start it but me and James Lewis :cool: You have to find TDC and really kick it. I don't mean put weight on it, but I used to be on the bike, standing with my left foot on the ground, find tdc, then shift my weight lower and actually used my leg mu...
