I agree on the cookie cutter pipes. It's too bad the two most prominent pipes we have aren't legitimately better than a stocker...just a bit different. I would like to see a FMF SST available for the 500s for a change. It's pathetic that two stroke open expansion chamber technology and design has co...

is there a handbook somewhere that says what hondas acceptable tolerances are ? im alittle confused on why you keep saying everything is well within honda specs. I'm being facetious. The fact being everything I weigh from Honda has weight discrepancies. The fact that some new 500s were smooth as bu...

Maybe we assume too much? If Honda's goal was simply to shift the BF by adding weight they would have only added grams...not ounces. Not nearly enough weight to effect power output or delivery. And in this case 75g on a CR500 crankshaft is within Honda's production tolerances. ...so some guys get th...

As far as noise level is concerned...I say way to go man! I've never heard a twin piped CR500, but I imagine it running as quiet if not quieter than the OEM muffler. Which kicks ass IMO. I've got a good pic of a twin piped CR500 setup...but photobucket isn't opening for me. Maybe in a couple hours?

Lightening a two stroke crank just seems like a fundamentally BAD idea to me... Aside from producing a crank from lighter material, machinging the existing journals will substanially reduce CCR. I think to a large degree ideas like this rear their ugly heads because of fourstrokes. Race shops and th...

the 250 rads have wider cores and they are a much larger single core instead of 2 cores. the 250 rads are far superior.

Are we talking a steel framed 500? If so they have larger radiators than the 250s did. I'm not positive how the 250F/450F radiators compare? As far as the cylinders go, OF COURSE the 500 runs hotter bro! Aluminum has over x13 the coefficent of heat transfer than does steel. 12 lbs(?) of steel sleeve...

I've got the issue, I thought it was honest and well done. I agree with the key points the author made. There's a difference between "Most Fun" and "Most Effective". I will argue that the 500AF can't be every bit as effective, but I understand most riders (readers) would have dif...
