Thank you very much. I was just home on leave 2 weeks ago and got to ride my 250r for the first time. It was fun as hell but a 20year old bike it is and needs more power and suspension. I got the whole cr500 for 1300 bucks. i will sell off the rest of the bike to try and recoupe some of my costs for building this project. How rideable is your r i wnat to ocasionally race motocross and ride trails with it. Is this doable or am i off the deep end. Some of my friends say i am crazy and think i should just go with a 310pv from esr. But that would cost me close to 3k by the end. And not be nearly as cool. SO you by chance know if the 88cr500 is a powervalve. Either way i think that a cr500r would be way more fun. Plus then i would really be able to shut my firends on 450s up.

 

None of the CR500's had a power valve. Im pretty sure the KX 500 has one. Ive never seen one of those in a quad. That might be cool too.


It should make it pretty easy.

 

so does any one have any inpu on how these modified 500r's handles. is it still close to the stock R. or does the cr500 motor turn it into a straight line bike.
