CR500 cruising around Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan

[Coolcarl22]

cant wait to bring my bike there next summer :)

[QuikShotJigen]

The sound cant even keep up with the power of a CR 500...Sick Vid

[PlaystationJunkie509]

i could only imagine out awesome it would be to rip around on a sand dune rather than a set trail in the woods where you cant really go anywhere you want

[brasmussen81]

Man I want a 500 so bad! Awesome ending by the way hahaha

[wabashofutah]

thumbs up on the Pro Taper, I have those same bars on my CR250, best bars i've ever had.

[riverstonerodnresto]

sounds like massive clutch slip. needs new plates

[southBAYstruts]

ive never ridden a dirt bike in sand is it hard?

[guigua1078]

I'm glad u didn't run out of gas on thie ride hahahahaha this bike is a beast!!!!!

[snowman1692]

15/48 damn the top speed must be like 130 lol do u no what it is?

[toolshedjunky]

I only use 1st gear for a parking brake in the dunes. CR500s are the king of the dunes!

[theleadinbrumie]

That bike is bad ass m8 i onli got a cr125 Lol (Y)

[superkrotz12345]

[GiulianoGullini]

[GiulianoGullini]

[nitrogeb]

@GiulianoGullini

intendevo che avere 1 deserto nel proprio paese non e' mica 1 bella cosa... perche' e' 1 zona inutile....non serve quasi a niente tranne che fare queste cose ed i test nucleari....che non sono il massimo neanche quello :)

[GiulianoGullini]

@nitrogeb

Nel deserto puoi ricordarti il tuo vero nome..

dove nessuno può ferirti.

[popcornjimmy]

what year cr 500 is this??? and did you just not use first gear or is it missing??? my friends 2001 raptor 660 ate up stock gears idk why so after the second time of getting the transmission redone he got beefed up aftermarket ones

[25370]

Lucky guy...my 20 years!

[lolhejxD]

I would do almost anything to ride my bike there :O

[toddCR500]

f'n sweet vid... I love that place was just there last w/e & loved it...tops of hills were really rounded .... u had a paddle didnt ya?

[Chritsie]

-.- is this a challenge to u??? i seriously hope its not... if not pleaaase find one this is booooorrrriiiinnnggg

[mk48066]

The title says "cruising around". I'm sorry I didn;t do any "sick whips" for you, BRO.

[hadriel8]

@Chritsie if you werent fuckin retarded, you'd be able to read and see that it says "cruising around"

[ichbindarren]

dang 'ol man i tell you what that is a mighty fine bike you got yourself there

[fxse123]

dude! 500cc 2 strokes... sweet ride! must be really easy to get killed on that

[uridegay]

one of the few rider who use the 500s power........must be a knobby lol

[guitar23man23]

2 strokes scare the living hell out of me.

plus you cant put around in em or youll need new spark plugs.

4 strokes for me, since im a newb.

[rockinbass01]

2 strokes are very easy to put around on my cr125 and my rm80 dont foul plugs at all its alot to do with jetting i run 40:1 because i trail ride alot but if im going to the track 36:1 is a better option because im running it harder

[aterisatagger]

i run 50:1 on my cr250 and it runs the best like that no problems but with more oil i go through spark plugs like cops go through donuts lol

[rockinbass01]

id be a little scared to run 50:1 in my bike because of how hard I ride it I get a little nervous on 40:1 with castor 927 lol

[icool247]

i run that on my yz125

[03blasteryfs]

i have a yz 250 2stroke, and yes i have fouled a plug before.

But man, theres nothing like hitting the gas and holding on for dear life!

Its awesome.

[jiggyboy69]

lol on a 500 hitting the gas will acualy make you fear for your life.

[jetski199]

cool vid!! makes me want to go to little sahara

[bluchevy01]

Man do I miss silver lake! I yoused to run a CR250 and It is a blast!

[nutzmxlover]

y dont u have a paddle tire because if u do than its gotta be bald then cuz u should be pick up ur front when u get to powerband

[jiggyboy69]

no powerband on a 500, its constant power

[tarheelfan94]

similar to a 4 stroke?

[superkrotz12345]

damn that bike really hauls the mail

[BryceGrover]

try saint anthony

choke cherry is fun

never done it thought

not enough power in my 230 honda

[atomicchuckle]

ah i wish the sound quality was better but its still fuckin awesome...lol

[v8vairv8vair]

no i love cr500

[snowplowerking]

cool vid even cooler that your on a 500

[zero2blur]

what the hell, you should have "skyed out" at 3:00!

[v8vairv8vair]

cool vid but no won rides cr500 iny more

[gzak5150]

Actually there are lots of us who ride CR500's.

[zero2blur]

yah wtf you talking about? Long live the two-strokes!

[dirtbikes4life250]

no one rides them? so he has to get rid of his? ill take it

[RazorsEdge446]

no lots of people do, but i guess maybe your just to scared

[thegreasytoothpick]

i went there a couple days ago and man are thoughs sand dunes huge!!

[governator45]

That was awesome. It's fun to get in there everyonce and a while.

[unionta]

obviosly its a fuckin two stroke thats the one thing i dont like about riding in sand is yor front tire gets all squirrely

[vwmetal66]

you get use to it man.

[nuLLcss]

i agree though. two strokes are gay, and the only time you really eat shit is in sand because your front tire gets stuck in other people's tracks

[allthingsdirt]

Not if you stay on the pipe. The gas is on the right, Sally.

[audioslave187]

You're the fucking gay faggot nuLLcss. Motocross will never be the same again until they bring 2 strokes back. Learn how to ride before you open your mouth bitch.

[chris33694]

@audioslave187 At least Yamaha is keeping 2 stokes alive!

[ChrisMX3417]

@audioslave187 They are bringing back 2 strokes! Look up 2 stroke on the come back!

[jjboy309]

i ran down a huge sand dune and eat durt lol it was in lake michagin =D sand don't taste good >=[

[kyleallen67]

"outtacontrol4925" you scared of a 2-stroke????

[yanlapanic]

good vid .. good rider

[bLckenedcLoud]

FUCK that looks so fun, i got a crf 250 08 :(

[outtacontrol4925]

i hate 2 STOKES but this thing sounds FUCKEN NICE!!!!

[maaxii1]

it is a 4 stroke... :D

[outtacontrol4925]

yeah but cr500's are 2 stroke

[maaxii1]

yes sorry :D

[outtacontrol4925]

shows how much you know haha

[maaxii1]

not really....

[fightlover69]

2 stroke

[chris33694]

@maaxii1 This is a 2 stroke bumbass

[chris33694]

@chris33694 I know its a 2 stroke now and why the fuck do you have to be a jackass? Why what the fuck did I do to you

[wigwigwigwig]

you must feel like the king of the place you can smoke any bike there with no problem unless somebody really nows how to ride

[flstn0632]

Not sure about the dude that said you need a small paddle in worries of burning a motor!!! After years of doing Silver lake, I landed on a deep 10 paddle for my 91 CR500. I also go with long sprockets as the Sand drags on the beach require massive top end...

[700rstyle]

The dude got it twisted, a smaller paddle tire with a smaller cc bike is more logical so the engine doesnt have to work as hard and vice versa. I run a 10 cup with my 91 as well in glamis and havent had a problem yet.

[WiseTinga]

what helmetcam do you use?

[apatheticaustin]

how hard is it 2 ride a bike on the sand?

i take my 300ex up there but its way different from even riding a bike

[TrodgeSmiper]

As long as you stay on the gas...no problem...

[arth1717]

2 STROKE POWER, the BEST !!!

[aerowenn]

Never been on sand, rode quads for about 15 years now, and I just recently bought a crf 450x. All the riding I've done has been woods riding, dirt, loose dirt, rocks, mud and so on. I'd like to take a trip to here though... any recommendations?

[adammarcusmoore]

First gear is relatively useless... if the sand is anywhere similar to Glamis - pick up a paddle tire. And steer with the rear.

[mk48066]

Paddles hook up much better, but don't lean like a knob, and they are not absolutely necessary if you are already set up for riding trails in MI. I run the same knob at SL that I use on trails, usually a Michelin S12 or Kenda Southwick rear, Michelin S12 front. Run your pressures as low as you dare.

[t4oe]

ohhh i wish i could ride there u think my crf 250 would cope

[Jeepinweightlifter]

itll do ok, be sure to run a 6 cup paddle, 8 cup will burn up your motor

[theunpilot]

I've seen everything from an 80cc all the way up, my wife runs a YZ125 with a paddle at Gordons Well. Just make sure your jetting is spot on, running sand involves a lot of high revs and it is easy to melt a hole in the top of your piston!

[crrider08]

found that out the hard way on my 85 the first time i ever rode it.

[DardeeChar]

lmao so fast, wonder what people said when a 500 2smoke flew past em, haha, fucken oath mate, sweet bike

[StoopidSmith323]

You would make it fine, but it would feel slow. Sand "robs horsepower" in a way. Most of your power goes to wheel spin.

[marty198501]

you need to give up on the two wheel stuff at silver and build yourself a single seater buggy with a busa motor that is what i just finished for next summer to play with:) hell yeah, i rode a crf450 for the last 3 years and it was fun but alot of work.

[NonRider]

sand sucks but this guys doing alright

[paintthecopZ]

sand is cool 1 or 2 times a year. i go to the dunes right before its time for a complete tuneup on my yz450

[theunpilot]

You must never ride the sand, I have a CR500 with an 8 scoop paddle JUST for running in the dunes, my fav is Gordons Well CA, Pismo Beach CA and Great Sand Dunes NP CO. I also love the cinder pits at Sunset Crater Volcano in Flagstaff AZ and 2 stroke 500cc power is the only way to have fun!

[crrider08]

u just have to get going and you will be alright.

[gogreen07f5]

o yeah with a 250f you could go with your dirt tire it be a lot of work but it'll go

[jasonb32]

no offense but a 250f isn't shit compaired to a 500 2 stroke-

when you get in sand you'll really need the extra power to keep the front end stable

riding in sand is different mo matter what bike you have but the more power it seems the better when it comes to sand

[mxthunder]

Silver Lake rules!! I want a 500 2 stroke so bad!

[Floatsforlife]

I cant believe How cool the CR 500 is. I want one more than ever now! and I will never completely understand how you can ride that easy on sand! i cant worth beans!

[cardiffchris]

nothing like a 500 to make:

babies cry

dogs bark

neighbors call the cops

girlfriend threaten to leave you

had a 89 cr500-miss it a lot

[metalrulesemoblows]

haha nice

[sausage1254]

im 13 and i hav a 500

naw just jerkin ya gerkin

[jasonb32]

lolol

[xyder1337]

maaaan that lock fun ;)

[blakeyboy450]

dude he comes so close to falling so many times!!!!

[gogreen07f5]

guess u never rode a bike in sand

[blakeyboy450]

no its natural i,m not hatin....

[mattsimons]

killer

[oicu81279]

500's are just plain beasts
