Rode an 80hp CR500 today.

Can the other adults in the room please tell these two to take the nonsense argument to private message land?

[Premixed]

The fact of the matter is, no one can make a thread on this board without Jeram scrutinizing it, and this guy is scrutinizing not only a bike I have ridden but another one of my own bikes on a completely unrelated message board.  The guy is a troll that transcends multiple message boards.  It never fails, that every board has one and in this case, 2 boards have the same one in common.

I have a 94 CR5 in an 03 CR125 chassis.   It is mildly ported, head shaved, air striker carb, Rad Valve, airbox vents added and 2007 CR125 rubber boot between airbox and intake.  I have seen dyno charts of bikes with similar mods at 63hp.  I don't want anymore than that.  If I wasn't riding in sand all the time I would have probably crippled myself by now.

It isnt easy not being a little doubt full when you see hp numbers that high..
and you kind of want something that backs it up.

It`s easy to claim hp thats in my opinion why you get skeptical posts.. (That can be seen as negative)

whether or not the statement is true, please stop the arguing, this board doesn't need that sort of thing

[eprovenzano]

Yota..  love the bike.  That back tire looks huge...  Is the rim std with or wider, and what size tire is that...  I bet you can dig ditches with that thing

Wow  The cr5 in the 125 chassis is cool

How do you kick that thing? look at that kickstart

[citabjockey]

So Yota, how about a ride report? How long have you had that monster? You race it?

standard 2.15 wheel with a 120 tire but it's a sand tire.

that's the stock CR5 kicker.  it actually starts pretty easy, more so if I had any ass to kick it with but I'm pretty small and it's on a new bore.    starts 1st or 2nd kick cold with the proper drill and usually 1 kick warm.  the warm drill is to find tdc, push down just past, let it back up and kick thru the stroke, not a jab.

I put it together in dec 08 thru jan 09.  had a guy in cali do the frame fabrication and put the rest together as I wanted it.   no racing, off road only.  I'm 60 in a few months and haven't had the urge to race in years.  used to though.

Im on about 10 forums but choose to only scruitnise in 2, unfortunately some of the content on two of these forums have members who make outrageous claims, conjure up conspiracies about just about anything, and create speculation. In my mind it needs scruitinizing, otherwise any other passers by will think this is a tin foil hat zone.

now, Im actually going now (again haha). so if youve got anything else to say thats what the PM button is for.

Did you not see this?
"whether or not the statement is true, please stop the arguing, this board doesn't need that sort of thing"

please take a chill pill, there is no need to argue over something as trivial as this, if it continues there will consequences
