1986 Honda CR500 Part 1 - Tear Down

One day I was riding it and pulled the clutch in and nothing happened. The clutch pressure plate was starting to crack and the pushrod was stuck in the motor (mushroomed). While replacing these I also found that the crank bearings were bad, the main bearing was bad and I found the connecting rod was scraping. Since I have to take the motor apart to get the pushrod, I am replacing all bearings. This is the tear down video. ****************************************************************** Subscribe to Opferman Motors for trail riding, dirt bikes, motorcycle events, mechanics, rebuilding engines, Maicos, Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas, Husqvarnas, KTMs, and more!
