Honda cr80

[agus626]

Hey guys while on my way home from school i found a honda cr 80 with a sing saying" Free take me please" On the curb.Ive never had a dirt bike in my life so dont know much about them.And i need youtr guys help.I changed the oil and put gas into it and changed the spark plug its a kick start but the kick start doesnt go all the way down.Does anyone have an idea wats wrong?

well ill tell you this if you found it on the road thats where it belongs

I hope you mean driving down it. It's AT LEASE worth it's weight in scrap if the $#!+ hits the fan during an attempted repair. There's guaranteed to be a few salvageable parts.

 

[KieranM]

probably the gears inside the kick-start, might be worn, or worst case she hasnt got compression.

try bump starting it down a hill

 

[redsox985]

Again, for free what do you expect. Yet, without a doubt, some parts will be reusable.

Pictures? could have found a gem. a CR80 is a fairly powerful bike for its size, is it liquid cooled? two stroke bikes are very easy to work on and rebuild, it would most likely be worth your time and money to get it going.

this is a good find because if u rebuild it and it is good then well done, but if u rebuild it but u cant fix it or u break something then it will be a good learning curb.

 

[redsox985]

Another good point. This would be a perfect "learner" if it turns out not working. I wish I could stumble upon something like this for free.

Good reply guys to all im only 16.Most kids when they see a dirt bike that says free will just take it home.And yes im going to try and rebuild it im going to take the engine aprart and homefully try to find the problem.And to the guy who said bump start it i cant the back wheel doesnt move for **** its stuck.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

back wheel doesnt move?? so maybe the motors seized and the tranny is screwed...
it takes SKILL to do that to such a great bike. lol.

 

[fowler]

it takes extreme lack of skill

 

[brendonv]

have you tried pulling in the clutch?

 

[fowler]

have u got any pics.
also when u say the back wheel is stuck do u mean it just wont roll or have u layed it on its side and tryed to force it.

also i have no idea about your knowlege about bikes and i dont realy know this bike, but are u aware that the gears on a bike are usally set up with netral in between 1st and 2nd

 

[redsox985]

Good point Fowler. Make sure it's in neutral.

 

[agus626]

I cant pull in the clutch all the wires are cut i bet some douche bag did it.Yeah ill take some pictures and post them later on today

 

[agus626]

Here you go guys some pics of it im starting to belive it might be the piston?And yes i know where netrul is and yes i tryed forcing it to move .The chain has alot of rust on it so that might be the prolbem why it doesnt move.And if it is the piston how would i go about removing it and were is it located?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Good find. Air cooled so early 80s or late 70s. Take the chain off and see if she'll kick over.

Did you really ask where the piston is.... If you dont know your not ready to take on this project.

 

[agus626]

Its a 81 and Ive never owned a motorbike and never taken an engine apart so i have no idea were they are but i was doing some research and i came up with that conclusion

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Could be. Could be many things. Take off the chain first, then left sidecover and see if the flywheel/stator are binding.
