I've been impressed by this young guy. I'm 52 ive had 2 crs. 87 125 - 1982 cr 125. I am a Honda guy myself. I appreciate this guys ambition and his choices in life. He's dedicated to relentlessly getting these neglected dirt bikes brought back to life. The Japanese people would honor you for what you do. I'm hoping there's many more people out there doing exactly what he's doing. Motorcycle junk yards are full of these old bikes. Anyone reading my comment please consider visiting an old bike Yard and bringing 1 home and giving cpr to an old cr.🙂 👍💯🔥

Well with how lean it's running, if you didn't need a crank before, you probably do now. The "Red Rocket" is worth a full restore.

hahah

[@marcruales8050]

Joe listen up. Restore it, but like use good spray paint. Sand it down, use primer. And a little paint. Nothing crazy. Get grips and levers. Fix the clutch and sell it. No need to go all in with powder coat unless your giving it away or keeping it.

[@bradleyflood5437]

Full rebuild would be awesome. Great video man.

Seems like we’d all like to see a full restore. Might wanna get those main bearings replaced and check your connecting rod ASAP so it doesn’t cost you a case. Great video

[@RpmAuto]

Rattling sound sounds like piston slap. Might be getting ready for a top end. Also back in the day they used to have rubber grommets that go between the fins on the cylinder head to cut down sound. But I am very pleased to see that you saved it and it will ride again

[@arielsaeth]

old air cooled motors with big fins like this always were noisy as hell even new,better when warmed up a bit.

[@MrPunkrocker2012]

Things just gonna go up in value

[@timothysmith3311]

A good way to free up your clutch plates without destroying your transmission is send it up a steep incline (on street) in high gear wide open with the clutch lever pulled in (High gear high load) The torque put on the plates will free them up and it doesn't involve slamming your trans into gear and potentially damaging anything or over revving the motor. Worked on my YL2C trailmaster. Not to mention you don't have to pull the clutch cover

[@johnnyyoung6322]

Hey buddy I used to own a CR125 just like that same or red frame it blew up and I couldn't fix it the crank messed up in it I got rid of it a long time ago I like what you do I watch you at home on my KZbin channel all the time I think you're very cool I just wish I could figure out a way to get some money to buy one of them bikes from you I love dirt bikes and I love two strokes and my name is Johnny Young and I live in Louisiana hit me back sometime where I can talk to you man

My friend had one of these old cr250 also known as red rocket he used to play with the park security and police when they chased him in the park field and do donuts around them, it was a great bike for it’s time.

No, the clutch doesn’t work at all so that “slipping” was him shifting without the clutch.

[@stoptheirlies]

the inserts on those shocks have like an half inch hole in them and you are mounting them with what looks like quarter inch thick bolts, you are going to have a lot of banging and clanking

[@hellyeah2299]

Claw hammers are soft metal for driving nails. Ballpeen hammers are hardened steel for working with metal. Get yourself some ballpeen hammers and it will make things easier.

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Is the a arm on exhaust side tweaked. Right behind where you were putting the bolt in around min 6.

[@sandmanbub]

That piston slap is easier to hear in air cooled bikes and the manufacturers didn't bother installing rubber dampeners between the fins on their race bikes. They were more concerned with keeping the engines as cool as they could, even jetting them a bit rich for the cooling evict. Engine sounds fine.

Im pretty sure my cr500r has rubber between the fins?....

adjusters for rear shocks go on top

[@tonyaxeman4381]

Yes I believe the shocks are on upside down . The adjusters should be at the top may work better the other way . The oil in the case should have been changed the wrong oil may be in it. . It has been a long time since this vid was made but I have never seen one of these bikes . A full restore would be a good idea.

[@michaelhartman851]

I believe all the crs with the chain on the right side are elsinors, I remember a friend of mine had one of the cr 500 models very fast for old bikes.

Keep the clutch held in the entire time you are riding it and it will began to work.

Hey man, get rid of that Lucas 2 stroke oil & get some castor 927 or klotz. A much better oil for 2 strokes by far!! That oil your using if for weedeaters

Not a big thing unless for some reason nut comes off but never put lower shock bolts from rim out. If nut came off for some reason bolt could back out into spokes which would make for a bad day. I do love the old bikes though but suspension usually a rough ride for sure
