honda CR80 questions

BobTheBiker · 01-20-2010, 11:39 PM

alright guys, I got some questins here.

I'm getting a 94 Honda CR80 dirtbike, and I'm wanting to know, what years will interchange in terms of parts? or are they all pretty much the same?

I'm told it needs a little tranmision work, so I'm just going to replace the tranny and rebuild the old one when I'm not busy and have money pretty much.

am I truly the only person on here that actually owns a dedicated dirt bike?

Go here Then you can cross reference the parts with other years.

Definitely not.

We own dirt bikes but I do not know the answer to your question - sorry.

No.. But technically you own a minibike.

how the hell do you figure this? the CR80 isnt by any means physically compact machine at all. the XR80 is a minibike technically I think. this is more of the 30" seat height and lotta suspension travel shit.

This generation bike right? Its barely the headlight height of a truck. That's a mini bike in my book.

And these guys...

But the easiest test you can take is trying to clear a double with a full-size adult on the vehicle that should be easily done an a 125 2-stroke or 250 4-stroke bike. There's some AMA classification ruling as well, but I don't feel like digging up.

yeah, that'd be what I have, but in all fairness I define a minibike as being something with like wheelbarrow tires on it, considering that, this bike is pretty much perfectly sized for me.

I wouldn't consider a CR80 a "mini". Hell, the Big Wheel version isn't much smaller than a 125 MXer.

50's and 65's are mini's. 80's are in-betweeners.

They are designed for kids. I'd think anyone over 150lbs would want a bigger bike.

That said, don't underestimate it. Once on the pipe, that "kids bike" won't hesitate to put you on your ass.

I have no idea on parts interchangeability.
