Old school cr500 ohlins!

[husaberg]

Oh I remember that bike, thought that went down south...... talked to the guy had another he was selling. Had a lot of spares but he didn't get them I've got an ohlins shock for that model needs a rebuild., not much good to me.

I just posted the links and stuff and while I was doing it my computer logged me off lol

CR500 Riders ( I can't find a live version of the page)
Are the WR gearsets that Honda made as a kit years ago still available? I vaguely remember a disscussion about someone making some up some sets because of unavailability.

I realize the `93 and later bikes have a taller 4th & 5th. That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about an HRC kit that Honda used to sell that had 4th & 5th taller than still.
HRC - are not avaible
they stopped making them very long ago..
IMS picked up when HRC quit,, and are the same as the HRC kits,

madman- are the IMS gears. some sets are left.

(IMS stopped making them awhile ago)
Ah, hell. I'll just type out what my OEM manuals say for the stock ratios:

92-96 CR250R
1st: 1.800, 2nd: 1.470, 3rd: 1.210, 4th: 1.000, 5th: .869

92 CR500R
1st: 1.750, 2nd: 1.388, 3rd: 1.150, 4th: 1.000, 5th: .870

93-01 CR500R
1st: 1.750, 2nd: 1.388, 3rd: 1.150, 4th: 0.955, 5th: .792


Madman says stock CR250R and CR500R ratios are:
1st: 1.800, 2nd: 1.470, 3rd: 1.235, 4th: 1.050, 5th: .909

And their kit changes it too:
1st: 1.800, 2nd: 1.470, 3rd: 1.100, 4th: 0.909, 5th: .750

from memory the WR kits were designed by Honda of Holland for the ISDE and fitted both the 250 and 500
I can't be assed looking for other pics.

Okay here is the trany sold as a wr for the CFR450R

I am pretty sure it is doable with some work re the spline in the clutch for the CR250 and 500

I would like to see that bike, theirs no way a 17 will fit, the only one I've seen do that was mad Pete from Wellington on his beach racer. He had to grind the engine case where the housing for the clutch rod is.

Lol. Was mainly for road racing that I needed the 17t mate. Didn't pull it quite so well on the sand! Nothing crazy 'bout it or me!

[Boo]

Pete you mad bastard............your name ain't crasher for no reason LOL!.
I'm still interested bit busy at the moment.
Glade you like it.... what you reckon on the road

[Crasherfromwayback]

Lol. I love it mate. Wish I had one kicking round so I could join ya. Don't want to over use the SR. Maybe 16/36 or 38 for gen street usage no?

LOL! I'd have to push it until it and get to 10 kms before I could drop the clutch.
With a 15/44 I'm doing 110 kms at 4500 rpm which is good the motorway and around town.
