well its the end of the season and i havent ridden my 500 once this year :( due to not being able to find a damn jug in my price range, it seems that every time one comes up on ebay like 50 people come out of the woodwork to bid it up. so i committed a sin.... i got a kx-250 in trade for my gs550 st...

WELL FREAKIN SELL ME ONE ! but if you can spare a jug please please please hit me up with a price. i havent ridden all season im dyin'

holy crap! that used cylinder went for 250! wow

(teamtrubble) where the hell did you see a new jug for that price??

here we go again, i am bidding on a cr500 cylinder that is stock bore and comes with the piston, started at 99c so i bid it up to 70, then poof the war starts. i push it up to 90 but someone chips away at it passing me up so now i am chipping at him up tp 125. now with shipping it is 145. man every ...

not everything he has is bad i did buy a carb from him (35mm pwk) it was in great condition. and for only 30 bucks

what year crank do you need ? i have a like new 84 crank and a wore out but rebuildable 88 crank.

i have bought a few things from motoxcopy, like the unuseable cracked cylinder and the wrong year(but new) crank+rod

nope i didnt even think about it. im a one site kinda guy. but i can look huh. its not cheating.

well holy crap people! there seems to be a huge jump in the prices of used cylinders. the market just fluctuated me in the ass! looks like i probably wont get to ride the cr this season if a good one dont turn up soon. let me tell ya, it is killing me inside to not be riding. when i hear the bikes u...

yeah, its a fun little round town bike. way to revved out for the highway though. but 50+ mpg is nice, for sure.

thanks for the tip, i was also told the stator is prone to problems too.
seems to be a tank of a bike from what i have been told. i will ride it the rest of this season then ill sell it in spring to get my new kawasaki versys.

its a 78 suzy gs550 its a one owner that belonged to a doctor. he used it to commute to college then garaged it. it shined up real nice. 400 bucks. it should pay for itself with 50+ mpg.

the cr500 engine is becoming quite scarce and expensive with the wave of a/f conversions in the last few years. 10 years a go you could pick up a running one for a couple of bills now like you said its hard to find one under 1000. as far as a good source is concerned ebay is the most popular followe...

uh oh, secrets out!

i disagree, seasoning is for engine blocks, not pistons, if you used it in the same motor it came out of ,sure it would work great, but every engine is different. the heat is in different points as well as the forces upon the structure of the piston. it would be just asking for a crack if the piston...

nope i got a honda atc 110 or the xs 650 climber but it dont do anything but uphill, i am itchin to ride bad

thats cool he's good for it.

yeah. in wrong or broken parts im in it about 400 . with the wrong 85 rod and unuseable .80 over piston and my eggshaped jug and about three base gaskets. at leas my bottom end is new now. i just got a job at a kawasaki/arctic cat shop . so hopefully i can afford it soon. damn bike has got me workin...

well i have my new (long)rod installed and after bolting the top end in it was still only like 115 p.s.i. so i tore it down again. i measured the clearance and it is good but then i measured the bore......it is eggshaped. the cylinder is loosing it above the exhaust port. it is on its last bore too,...

what brand is it? honda or vertex-pro-x?

not if i get to it first. i might pay 30 extra for express shipping and insurance on it too

you shouldnt use compression braking on a 2 stroke. on a four stroke it is fine but most ring vs. exhaust port damage occours when decelerating using the motor to pull you down. its best to just pull the clutch and use your brakes.

yeah, the new ones are 349.00 now. ill have to take my chances on a p.o.s.
