FOR SALE - CR500RE
« on: April 28, 2015, 01:57:36 pm »
Yes I only just built it up, selling it as some nagging injuries have got worse and am looking at more operations.

This CR was a very low use bike from California before I went through it.

* Fresh rebuilt engine, new bearings & seals. Anything not perfect inside I replaced.
* 89.50mm wiseco piston in good bore.
* Head has squishband mod.
* Stealy flywheel weight.
* Hi-flow reed cage with Boyesen reeds.
* New '01 kickstart gears & ratchet mechanism.
* 85/86 longer kickstart lever.
* DG pipe & muffler.
* .45kg fork springs (suit 88kg rider).
* 7.2kg rear shock spring (suit 88kg rider).
* Rear shock just had oil change.
* New rear suspension linkage bushes.
* New front & rear wheel bearings.
* All new gears in gearbox.
* New clutch plates.
* Barnett heavy-duty clutch springs.
* New Unifilter airfilter.
* New seat cover.
* New fork bushes, seals & boots.

1 x front guard.
1 x front number plate.
8 x tank decals.

Sorry for any confusion, as it didn't sell straight away, I started changing a few things on the bike to see if I could make it easier for me to handle, almost finished making the few improvements/changes, if I can't man-up to ride it properly then I will sell it.  The bikes is lucky to have done 30 mins riding since doing all the above work.
