My buddy found a 1997 Honda CR80r in the woods this past weekend and gave it to me since he didn't want to fix it, it needs some work as always....needs a Clutch lever assembly, clutch lever, clutch cable, grips, Fmf fatty exhaust flange, every bolt holding it together, rear number plates, chain & sprockets and thats about it so far. Prolly a carb cleaning is in order too.

WOW thats cool why cant i find stuff like that laying around in the woods

before you put money in it make sure its not stolen. Someone could of took it and ditched it or just got pissed at someone and threw it in the woods.

 

[04YamahaRider]

Yeah my buddy had it checked by the cops, its not stolen. Someone probably just dumped it cuz it was a basket case or something.

Sweet. Congrats!

Thanks man! it was a lucky find, especially since it isn't stolen! I:I
(Pics are soon)

Started cleaning it up a bit. Cleaned the carb. out, it had some gunked up gas in it, that would have been an issue trying to start it lol

I still need a flange though, does an a/m pipe usually come with its own flange or does it work with the stock one?

PICS!!

Nice find. Looks like it's in good shape for finding it laying in the woods.

Damn bro I would be tickled to death if I got that for free that's beast man!!!

 

[back again]

sweet find i had a 96 cr 80 little bikes get up and go! wish i could find something like that and fix it up

that thing looks to be in pretty good shape to just be laying in the woods. i wish i could find something cool like that on the trails.

 

[04YamahaRider]

Well it is in such 'good' condition because someone dumped it last weekend, we ride our trails mostly everyday because we live so close and that's how we're first to find cool stuff I:I

 

[04YamahaRider]

Well today i went and picked up my parts for the exhaust, got it together and tried to start it, no luck. My friend said he checked electrical and it fires, it's getting fuel, I'm thinking it could need a new plug. Any ideas?

 

[1995blaster]

try a new plug. if the store isnt open just hit the plug with a lighter and then check gap and sand the ends. Just to see if it starts get a new plug tho.

Nice find. Looks like a good llittle project.
