[@lancep.1251]

I had a 1986 CR80. As a high school kid it took me a year to save up for it. Loved that bike. Thanks for the memories.

[@mfmonthefmf]

That bike is bringing back some very good memories, awesome build man.

My desire is even higher to own one😮

[@MattyScores]

One of my favourites-beauty. Is she Forsale?

[@quadvloggs6876]

I expected it to smoke a tad bit more for a first start up, it may be running lean typically when idling and off idle it will smoke a touch

Im subscribed. Cant wait to see whats next. I just finished a cr85 myself, These bikes are fun to play around on

[@northernmx5973]

@@stephenfontaine3249 awesome did you do a video on it? Feel free to post it here

[@anthonylawrencesnow]

Thank you for the video and great job on the restoration!!! I have a 1984 CR80 I am putting back together and have a simple question for you. I have always ran a 32:1 mix on all of 2 smokers. The shop manual for this particular bike states a 20:1 mixture. Since the previous owner seized the piston, I am skeptical to run a leaner mixture. Should I do as the manual states or as I have always done? I sometimes feel the manual may be on the conservative side. Your input will be appreciated. Thank you-- Tony

[@northernmx5973]

Hey Tony, sorry for the late reply. I think as long as you use a synthetic 2 stroke oil you should be able to get away with 32:1. I've run 32:1 in this bike since I finished the rebuild and it runs great with no problems

[@anthonylawrencesnow]

@Northern MX Thanks! I have ran it through several heat cycles and no issues. I turned it loose yesterday and she ran great. 32:1 seems to be just right.

[@johnftaylor6875]

Hi Buddy, can you tell me where I can get a Rear Mudguard/ Fender for an 86 CR80 please. Thank you.

[@northernmx5973]

That might be really hard to find. I would maybe get one for a newer 80 and cut it to fit

[@soxh8ter]

what kind of master cylinder did you use on the front brake?

[@northernmx5973]

I ordered a cheap ones off Amazon used different levers www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07FVS2WBN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@thesouth50]

Was the plastic that nice or did u find new plastic online? I cant find any for 86-89

[@northernmx5973]

They were in ok shape but really faded. I managed to save them with this technique kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIKxZ6iXmamMe9k

[@joshauten713]

[@northernmx5973]

[@twilp5054]

Still waiting for the first ride

[@northernmx5973]
