Honda xr500s

By jonboycoxhonda xr500s, November 23, in Vintage Dirt Bikes. I dont see a discussion specific to this model, am I missing it or should I just post my questions here?

Dry Weight Road Test. SINCE each of the lour major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers has introduced at least one four-stroke dirt or dual-purpose bike. There are currently six basic four-stroke singles available, and counting variants there are 11 thumpers total on the market. You need to know two things about those 11 machines. That second statement is not an irrelevant comparison, because Honda offers the XR as "enduro-ready. Honda Motor Co.

Big is no problem, as any off-road machine with cc. The XR and are masterpieces of integrated engineering, with every component and design based on another part of the bike. Engine height dictated frame design, the front wheel created the exhaust pipes, and so forth. In general, the Single is the Single scaled up. Both use double balancers. Surely if that applied to the it must be even moreso with the Honda really does hope owners get involved with enduros and such. The kit increases rated power to Enough, we are told, for anybody. They originally designed a full-race kit with 45 bhp, but not even their team pros could keep the beast on the trail while using full power. The other engines use a penthouse what else would you call it? When compression is increased, as with the kit, the piston crown is raised one mm, but it still is flat. Valve incl angles are pretty near the same forall tb engines, by the way. Most useful bit on the is the corn prcssion release, or perhaps. The also has the two-pipe exhaust, When commenting on that feature on the engine.

Though the uses a high-dome piston for maximum compression 9. Manage Consent.

The bike's revamped engine was capped by a Radial Four Valve Cylinder head that two carburetors and two exhaust pipes connected to. The XR came with a front disc brake, frame updates, and new, beefier forks that were anything but beefy at high speed. Nontheless, people snatched the up new XR's quickly. The '83 XR breathed new life into the big bore 4- stroke realm for the folks that didn't ride the European 4- strokes. The XR remained mostly unchanged in

Going to adjust the valves this week and see if that fixes it. Leave the piston xx here it stopped which won't be on compression and kick down. Honda XR Honda has given the XR a rather steep A Four has lighter gears than a Single. This powerband is superb: it lets the rider power out of tight situations, chug up hills effortlessly and relax while he trail rides There is also a predictable but abundant surge of power m the mid-range, at which point it's incredibly easy to wheelie the machine in the first three gears. That gives a running start on the valx e-lifter. The open class motocrossers and enduro mounts are mostly 30 to 50 pounds lighter. Enough, we are told, for anybody. Perhaps firmer padding? Followers 0. Flimsy, even. But this doesn't mean the Honda is lacking in tow-end power; check these figures out. And the response is controllable. The XR is smoother than the Yamaha TT, which simply uses extensive rubber mounting to absorb vibration; it's also smoother than the smaller Suzuki DR, which uses no balancing system.

The Honda XR series is a range of four-stroke off-road motorcycles that were designed in Japan but assembled all over the world. Some of the XR series came in two versions: R and L.

Posted November 23, Finally, two exhaust valves permit an air passage to run from the front of the engine and up to the top of the head, and this passageway provides better cooling. As the piston downstrokes, the crank turns the heavy sides of the balancing weights upward. And the shocks are mounted directly atop the axle, while everybody else, along with. There are some selected additions of material, as in the primary drive gear widened from 12 to 15 mm, and the front balancer going from 19 to 31 mm wide, and the gears are given more extensive heat treatment and are thus stronger for their size. The engine is big. Every time the engine is accelerated or decelerated, though, the engaging dogs rush from one end of their matching slots to the other end; this condition is known as backlash. W'e weighed the XR after researching all the features and marvelling at all the effort made to reduce weight, and we were surprised. Without the balancers to produce an equal and opposite reaction to the piston's movement, the pistons action results in vibration. The fast guys can get the front wheel up w henever they wish.
