I might just be up for this. Would be a decent drive though.

[honda02]

I trying to find out will the CR500 make it with a 2.2 gallon gas tank.
I like to get a oversize tank but I don't know what tank will fit the 2005 CRF450X frame with out melting the bottom of the tank to get it to fit.

[iggys-amsoil]

Bearly and depending how much you stay off the gas.
Robs loop in Jawbone is 51 miles, I use 2 gallons on that, someone ran out about 5 miles from camp once but all the others made it.

Those Arizona plastic Iced Tea bottles look to be just the right size 40oz?, take one or two with ya.

[Hellbear]

I plan on running the AF for this and it has the stock tank so I will be carrying something with extra gas in it.

[honda02]

If I get my CR500 AF going by then I like to ride it also But how are you planning to carry the extra gas.

Like I said with any luck I get my motor back this week but I still have to get the airbox, the pipe and silencer made Plus make a skid plate for it get it jetted and the supension some what adjusted befroe the poker run.

[Hellbear]

Thinking of carrying some kind of jug with gas in it in my backpack.

[honda02]

I mite see you out there will see how things go.

That would be cool. I am going to ask my neighbor if he wants to do it and if noone else is going I might not go. I don't really like to ride alone but we will see.

[honda02]

I know what you mean ride alone my riding buddy went down hard last year and he still has not rode his dirt bike.

So I been doing more riding alone now adays.

That would be cool. I am going to ask my neighbor if he wants to do it and if noone else is going I might not go. I don't really like to ride alone but we will see.

[Hellbear]

Ouch that sucks.

Doh. I haven't rode that much this year. I need to ride some more cause next year I am not going to have as much time.

[Xylicon]

[Hellbear]

[Hellbear]

I will not make this one there's no way I going to have my bike ready I still waiting on my motor to get done the guy now telling me this tuesday ya right I been hearing the same story for the last 3 or 4 weeks now.

[Hellbear]

That sucks you haven't got you motor back yet.

[honda02]

Will at least I know the motor was done the rigth way it a 0 hour engine new cases new trany fresh bore new piston and rings mild port job he threw that in for free.

Even if I do get the motor back on this comming tuesday I still have to get the moded airbox boot to fit and make pipe mounts break it in and get the bike dialed in for me.

That's to much to get done plus go to work every day ya next time it should be ready.

I most likely ride it that weekend but that just to break it in and trun knobs getting the bike right.

I don't want to push the bike hard and long until I run 2 or three tanks of fuel though it it needs go though it's heat cycles for the first tank on gas.

If I do get it running I be out bu the water tower across from the prison.

They mite have some of the course blocked off they or we crash a aircraft out here on last thursday, by the pirson area I don't know he where by the prison yet but I am sure I find out more this tuesday when I get back to work.

[Hellbear]

That's cool, break her in good and no worries at all.

[honda02]

Picked my motor up today I don't wait to talk anoumt of the bill can you say money pit .

I have the motor in tha frame but I need to pull the kick starter back off I did not wind the kickstater retrun spring enough I hate those springs.

Sttarted doing the airbox mod should be done with that soon Tomarrrow I hope the silencer anouther pain waiting to happen it don't line up at all .
I think i cut some of the can shorter so the mounts line up.

I also need to make a new forward pipe mount should be cake wall.

It should be on the dirt by this weekend.

New motor the motor never ran when I got in the begining for this af conversion it but now I seems to have a bad clucth slippage when appying the power revs but but you not moving bike just slowly gets up to speed.

The clucth had aluminum palte but I oput steels in it with the old fiber plates.

Ok Here we go it is 1995 motor to start with but the cases were cracked so it has now 1990 cases the trany was also bad it has 1986 trany in it when I put the clucth back in it.
It seem the clucth push rod was to long so I wacked off about .100 off the end so the clucth pressure plate would seat before it would rock side to side.

There's good play at the clucth lever.

Yea the boy is pretty jazzed.

Have you cleaned that carb really good? You might just have some crap in the jets not allowing it to idle.
