First time I've ever watched someone start one properly; well done. The tune sounds perfect, with no overrun. I loved my last one. This was my 98-model one here.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b-Hpiv-uQE0.htmlsi=pEAfC4uNw1nn8PNe
@@MatMcCrudden Thanks! The new ignition system I bought for this bike makes day and night difference when starting it. Always start first or second even when cold
I had a CR80 when I was a kid & one day at the track a bloke turned up with a CR500. I had a go sat on the back & it was absolutely terrifying but brilliant at the same time.
When I considered buying a 500R my buddy said to me, DO IT even if you just let sit its cool to look at! He wasnt kidding, I bought it and ride it 3 months a year and look at 9! And Fires up second kick with 9 month old gas. ( leaded Av. Gas us the best)

1975 Honda Elsinore CR125M was my first motocross motorcycle. Same exact sound, and the torch on the bike was unbelievable. Gotta hand it to the Japanese. They built quality.
It wasn’t intended to be an insult. But, I can see it being taken that way. Yes I understand what break in is, Ive rebuilt my Son’s KTM. Have a great day.
Beautiful Bike. My best friend and I grew up well into our 30's riding dirtbikes everyday. During the "500" years this would be us in the pits, we spent most our time making and hitting jumps.. Then one day at "The Dump", there was this older guy in his 50's riding a CR500 on the track.. Just Rippin' like he was on a 250! Wildest memory I have of that pit, absolutely fearless! It was the only time in our lives we ever watched somebody actually "Rippin'" a 500 like it was meant too!
