I finally got a proper introduction to the machine shop guys at dinner tonight.The harley guy is going to walk me through the rebuild of my sporty.He is an old pro.I 've had the project shelved until I found the right place to take it.Sounds like I'm hooked up now.You all will know in a few months if I post some smokey burn out pics
 

Wait, what?

Didn't see this thread. Just derestricted my 2 stroke Eton Beamer and am getting ready to do a big bore. 70cc ought to get her over 75 mph. I ride all year, but keep it slow even on dry cold days. Can't wait for Spring.

Hopeful for a good grow and a great Summer

that sucks.You will have to pry my CR5 from my cold dead hands.
This spring I'm going to reshape a few jumps that I built a couple years back.Time for some big air!

Hey yall is it true the CR500 will just bust a clutchless wheelie if you twist the grip? Saw some vids and it looked like it.....fuckin awesome.

no problem
x2 no prob-
I usually shift up a gear and gas gas it.That way it hooks up a little better and doesn't just spin.Lots of smaller bikes you gotta click it down a gear to get some.My 500 runs like a 4 stroke kinda sometimes.Lots of power in a lower rpm range

My old 1/8 liter I would just slip the clutch and she'd light up.....had to change clutch plates a lot on those.....1/4 liter was a little more torquey....that's my fascination with the 1/2 liter....the torque....2 stroke torque, sounds oxymoronic having ridden tiddlers but there it is.

I have a Suzi GT550 triple.....no torque lol, but its way heavier than the CR I imagine.
