CR500 on a blaster

[Dier-Wolf]

LOL maybe somethings wrong with your engine but then again its easier riding on 2 wheels

Every millimeter of throttle on my baby is a thrill, but i will call you on that setup one day im sure.

Ive gotten so used to the bike because a 500 is the only bike that I have ever rode unless you count a CRF50 and an XR70, that I wanted more. although you are right about them not needing any more power. All I got to do to get the front end up is give it gas in any gear.

I have also rode a CR500 three wheeler with nitrous, Ported, 1985 Cr500 motor with an 8 inch swingarm. and I'm sure that being on four wheels is easier than three. (Scariest thing that I have ever done)

While your here...haha is there any plans in the future to get a pipe made up for the 500 sabertooth to run in a ATC frame?........

[500Sabertooth]

Yes, that ATC pipe option is available. Feel free to contact me through http://www.saberracing.com

There are 2 other guys with same year CR500's here (still in bike form) and theirs dont act that way either, but then again they are stock with no modifications what so ever.

All i know is my engine pulls like i was tied to the back of a f16, hell i've bent 3 handle bars already just holding on when the power band kicks in....... I have ridden alot of 2 strokes and i must say, the engine has amazing power that just doesnt seem to want to stop.

As for cr500's ripping frames apart, i dont even wanna go there again, i heard enough ballony all over the internet about that, and all i can say is, do it right and it wount, i have mine now for 2 years and i have zero problems.

Have you ever had it on a dyno to track the RPM, I think you would be quite suprised by the amount of rpm the motor actually makes. Neals motor will always run a whole lot more rpm than a CR motor from pure physics. A piston can only travel so fast no matter how you port the motor. He has a 70mm stroke where a CR motor has a lot longer stroke. Thus at the same rpm the CR motor is moving the piston much much faster. Its simply not possible. Take a look at some smaller motor dyno sheets, 250's with 72mm stroke usually make peak power around 8k to 9k, drag motors are a little higher but when it comes down to it piston speed is the limiting factor. The longer the stroke the less rpm its capable of running, thats why CR's are torque monsters but dont produce large amounts of hp.

And if you would Neal, whats up with CP making a smaller honda cylinder. I heard Calvin was going to drop around a 310 cc jug, now I saw a 265 on PS.

[500Sabertooth]

There will be a 265 and something in between a Saber and the 265 this year. I'll keep you posted when we start testing them.

[fiveOnick]

Cool, I may just bore out the Pro-X and not have it coated, then when its done I can just buy the CP jug.

Actually you need to jump right upto a Sabertooth motor. Why take little steps?

Way too much power and money for a bike that I ride everywhere. This is a stock length 88. I only want around 55-60hp with a broad band. I think a slight stroke increase with low 300cc range motor will put me right where I want to be. My Pro-X on alky was perfect power wise but I dont have the money to continue and find the problem causing the detonation. A mini saber cylinder would be perfect.
