I just got the old 500R back up and running again. I remember now why I love two strokes so much. I have gotten used to my LTR so the big pinger was a little scary at first. I tried some new gearing too. I was running 12/39 with 20" tires before, now I am running 14/38 with 18" tires. I never knew it was so badly undergeared. I plan to switch back to 20" tires soon, then she will be good for about 90mph.

yeah it's the closest my budget can get to a big bore oil burner from the 60s and 70s....that and the smell of blendzall.....now that my Blaster is gone I rarely smell it. 'It's like music to your nose..." LOL It is the smell of times past but still works fine today!

If I buy a big bore 2 stroke and restore it are you gonna drive clear out here again and show me how to ride it? or maybe BUY it? :yes: it will be too much for me to be sure......

i'll go buy more ribs and beer!!!!

COOL! there's plenty of 2 strokes around here, everyone is afraid of working on them!!!! I grew up on them.

Buy a used one, order a piston/ring set, pull the barrel, take it to the machinist, and it's ready to party. Overhaul the carb while the barrel is gone.....

Other than that just basic maintenance, one end to the other: easy and fun! :cute:

I have too many of them right now! but need more, cuz come spring and tax returns, people will want these rides yeehaw!

a good pair of 20s will make it perfect! you'll love it! send us videos!!!! please? :unsure:

Yeah, I just had it out again today, and the wheel spin is still a bit excessive, I think the 20's will help me get some more traction. Although the few times I did get it to bite, it almost shot out from under me. I was just talking to a guy who has the same CR500/TRX250R hybrid I do, and he is running 15/36 gearing and 22" tires in the sand. I did the math and at 8500rpm in 5th gear he would be doing 116mph! I will try and get some vids up tomorrow.

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      Hi all, from Virginia here. This winter I bought a old Atv to tinker with and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for this forum.

      Hi guys
      My 87 Bear 350 won't start and could use a hand.
      Turn key on and Oil light turns on and then slowly fades out. (I think this is key to this) No start, not even a tick.
      battery and connections good
      A Solenoid post jump turns it over
      Neutral Safety Switch wire attached and seems good
      It has not had a wire/switch on Rear Brake Pedal ever since I had it.
      Any thoughts on some other things to troubleshoot this??
