Heres the condesned build from start to finish....
I am a complete cheap fuk so all my toys are a mix match of parts I picked up cheap and used
Heres my old 1987 from 5-6 years ago.
I pulled the motor and parted the rest then slapped it in a 2000 rolling chassis I picked up cheap...:tee:
A few days of wrenching later...rive:
I ran her like that for a couple of years and then one day a buddy of mine hit some hard times and I aquired his $1800 port job top end for $400, it is ported for dunes/hillclimbing....
She was running perfect just a little down on compression, I pulled the head and found this .....
After more wrenching I found the bottom end was toast, the crank had play and a dog snapped off in the tranny and pretty much ruined everything, it was amazing it still ran awsome!
I managed to pick up a 1989 CR500 off craigslist for $300, the guy said it hadnt ran in 3 years and wouldnt start, I got it home and figured fuk it im gonna kive it a kick, it fired 3rd time and ran perfect.
I pulled the motor and sold the rest.
Heres the 89 bottom end with the ported/polished top end....
Thats when the bug for more power came, I got a cold fusion wet kit and went at it....
It took a lot of headscratchin to figure out a way of mounting and hiding everything....
Airbox crammed with the solenoid relay, fuel pump relay and fuel pump...
Solenoids...
Intake...
Throttle WOT switch...
Battery mounted in seat...
Added a tank petcock..
I ran a teathered kill switch as an ARM, when I come off it kills the whole system.
I ran her like this for a season
