  • I grew up riding one of these. It was a pain in the ass to start every time at the beginning of the day. We would pull start it if it took to long. Once it got runnin that bike was a monster!! Instant power!

  • Could have filled the float bowl(hold bike to side) and primed reeds(rock back and forth in 3rd) would have started right up. And yes the reving was stupid

  • get the right mixture with the oil and petrol and never throtle a bike like that it floods it reving a 2 stroke damages the piston and rings its not a 4 stroke i bet the plug is a mess aswell

  • 2:02 I'd jack off to if I was on a sexy bike like that ;)

  • WHY ARE YOU REVING IT STUPID

  • take that to the nearest skip....... and dump it..... bike was a pile o shyte when it came out...an its a pile o shyte now......

  • fuckin how what a shit bike

  • Are you scared to kick the thing all the way or something?

  • whats that other bike in the back?

  • @justinchaffin1013 its looks like a xr100

  • This is all your fault don't touch the throttle kick the bike with choke on it will fire right up.. If it doesn't obviously there's issues that need to be delt with..

  • al minuto 1.45 ....... ERA ORAAAAAA PORCO DIOOOOOOOOO

  • you would have started that bike 50 kick's ago if u would have followed through with ur kick's not leting it flop back up!!!! Lamfao!!!!

  • 1) you can't kick a bike worth a crap

    2) my big bored Kawasaki KV75 has more compression then that (230psi)

    3) why the hell would you rev a motor that high!

    4) WHY THE HELL ARE YOU REVING A COLD 2-STROKE!

  • hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahha­hahahahahahahah LOSER !!!

  • a konker starts up easer

  • rev it a little more y dont ya

  • @aandb101 something tells me he would love to. hahaha

  • mate am 11 year old and a stil dont rev my bike like that wen its cold duhhhhh

  • I hate seeing people rev cold motors ............sorry just a pet peeve of mine .

  • I would never have a bike that took that many kicks to start. Every dirtbike I ever owned started on the second kick , third kick at the most. If it took more than 3 kicks to get it going I would tear it down and figure out whats wrong with it , most likely carb. problems or a weak ignition. Sometimes just closing up the spark plug gap a little bit can do wonders for easier starting, with absolutely no bad side effects at all.

  • trick is to lean it over on its side untill fuel runs out of overflow tube, starts everytime.

  • 81 was the last year. My 81 cr 250 ELSINORE has more compression than yours. I raced my bud on his 83 480 and he only had a half a bike on me the whole time til 4th when i passed him

  • this bikes not an elsinore they dropped the elsinore name in 1981

  • 3 hours later and then it starts..

  • i want to race you but my big bored cr500 would eat that cr but i am a fan of that bike, my dad had one when i was younger and i had a blast of a time on it :)

  • Awsome beast of a bike man, you need to ride one of the old 500 strokers to appreciate them man, scary quick. On ly time i ever rode one was on an open flat beach and it still near tore my arms off (kx500). guy near me has a motarded road legal versio of the bike you have, but for some reason he lost his licence and has to sell it now!

  • sucks when you get caught by kickstarter huh I got caught by my cr480s 2 weeks ago and it still hurts like hell to touch it lol

  • is that an old Honda XL 250R in the garage?

  • strange never noticed the kick started on the left side of the bike, i hated starting my xr600 cold. gotta clear the compression, then kick it over. then do it again, and again then finally it would start lol

  • ever heard of kicking from top dead center of the compression stroke?

  • Hey DUMBASSES! the bike has a left foot kick start! and it's a big bore. That's a lot of compression for starting it with your LEFT foot.

  • 2:00 bike humping 2:03 masturbation

  • giver a shot of either

    

  • you kick that bike like a fuckin pussy lol

  • you can really tell its a Japanese bike because the kik starter is on the wrong side

  • Thats awesome, rev the shit out of it when its cold haha.

  • what the heck is wrong or is that natural?

  • Hey man I'm looking at one these and I was wondering how fast they go i like speed lol

  • AT 2:02 were u jerking off??

  • It's a big bore. You need to tip it on it's side for about 8 seconds, THEN kick it over. A friend of mine broke his foot on the same bike while kicking it over. All those talking shit, this is a very hard bike to start. . Bad recoil!!

  • Yes!!! A real beast!!!!

  • i think the motor is on backwords whats with the left side kick start

  • 2:06 wanking >.<

    

  • that bike sucks dick

  • Starting a 480R is like kick starting a big block Chevy.

  • God damn, that's a bad 2t, it should start first or second kick

  • @tattddeb Really? What do you know? My bud has the same bike and broke his foot kicking it over. This bike is very hard to start. TONS of recoil. It would have helped to tip it on its side for about 8 seconds because it's a big bore, still might have taken this long.

  • why the fuck is the kickstart on left side and chain and sprockets on right side???

  • @7yearoldRCF they pretty much all were right side drive in that era......not all had the start on the left though

  • what were you doing at 1:59??????

  • took u like over a minute to get it started.. horrible

  • old school motocross! nice vid dude

  • @sjrtx

    Your dumb two strokes start waaaaaay easier cold than a four and there's a gasket on the cylinder base that prevents your crank case oil being sucked into the piston two strokes have 2 piston rings when a four has 3 because the one let's oil from the crank to the piston two strokes take separate tranny oil with mixed gas duhhhhhhh

  • why at 2:01 oyu were humping ur bike..

  • dude how fast it run on trails oh fuk you

  • a dude how fast does it run on trals

  • god damn you suck at kicking

  • Ever wonder how the crank,rod, piston get oil in a 2 stroke? Ever wonder why they dont rev very good or make power cold when a 4 stroke does? The air/premix mixture goes into the crankcase before it gets forced into the cylinder. Once the motor is hot the oil separates and stays down in the crankcase(for the most part) to lube the top/bottom end, while the gas and air goes into the cylinder.

    Thats why they dont run well cold. Its trying to burn oil. And thats why you dont rev it hard when cold.

  • poor bike

  • Obviously the "final owner " type.

  • I knew why from your first kick. You see I had a 1971 Suzuki TM400. 35 years later I still have a slight limp....

  • my xr 80 starts in 1 kick

  • man?are you crazy?

    bike its great

  • love the bike .. but fuck that was a shit video

  • after 12374627829348728294372937 to be continued kick :D

  • that's not so good he start slowly je let him better check xd

  • music to my ears. look at that chunky seat. i like how the gas tank and seat are all loose, and that awkward freakin kickstarter. wtf. the good old days! that IS a beast!!!!

    dont listen to those dummies who critcize the way you kick. who cares>?> you're ridin!!!!!

  • Dont complain about the starting, you can hear the engine turn over several times because of a very good kick technique.

    Only thing I wouldn't do is give it that much gas, the fuel doesnt go through the main jet very well when the engine is cold, I'd give it 0/0 to 1/8 gas and only 20kicks with choke on, then choke off and 1/8 throttle, then repeat choke on 1/8 to 1/4 throttle :p

    These are techniques from trial and error, almost never i've had to dry/warm the plug.

  • uhh im pretty sure your kick start is on the opposite side as usual?

  • those lugs are done lol

  • only took you 22 kicks! and im 15 5'4 120 lbs and i have a 2010 yz450f all afermarket and you cant ride this? wow

  • @ozzie1295 um so you drive a slow ass shitty bike while hes riding a INSANELY FAST bike with TONS of compression. you are such a faggot

  • 101 kick 102 kick 103 kick..........

  • In case yaw didnt know,old school bikes kick back,i have a 1981 yz465 that did the same thing and it put a hole in my sneaks,but its one of the strongest and fastest bikes made.

  • @mas2363 Yup. My bud broke his foot on this same bike.

  • there isn't many of those around any more. every one that I know of has the engine in a box with a broken crankcase....(I must know a half dozen people who have one). I guess this was a common problem with the 480, which is why a good case is VERY hard to find.....too bad, It's nice to look at old bikes and ride them once in a while to remember how things were.

  • @barachoisboy Mines good! Been kept in the AC all its life though. With it's matching 1983 CR250 sister.

  • Do 2-Strokes have more compression than 4-Strokes? What gives the cylinder compression? Is it a positive thing to have a lot of compression?

  • @125CRYZ yep the more compression the more power the easier to start my yz250 with a fresh topend barley broke in was reading 235psi, what gives it comprression?? the piston rings of course but after hours of wear the thin coating hard coating on the rings wear off and wear down causing the gap in the ring to get bigger letting more air to go by causing less compression

  • Do 2-Strokes have more compression than 4-Strokes? What gives the cylinder compression? Is it a positive thing to have a lot of compression?

  • there are so many experts on you tube they know it all!!!!!!!!

  • looks like somebody dont know the correct way to start it. It aint a 4 stroke

  • the one full kick you gave it, it started

  • @IIWARF4REII stick to your videogames. you dont know my bike bro.

  • @HondaRiderCR250 just saying yur boot slipped almost everytime yu tryed to kick it over except the kick that started it

  • @IIWARF4REII i let my boot slip off on purpose. i didnt wanna get caught by the recoil

  • @HondaRiderCR250 good idea i tore the uppers out of my work boots when i bought my 1984 cr 250 then took it apart and planed the head .010 and uped it even more to get the power out of it 

  • @HondaRiderCR250 thats right..i was fortunate enough to ride my older brothers cr 480 elsinore black seat with white 480R on the seat it was mean!!! i tried to sneak and ride it when he was gone...that left side kick start and the compression almost broke my ankle i was 13 ..never forget it...lol

  • @IIWARF4REII i also let it slip off the time i started it lol i just went back and watched it

  • @HondaRiderCR250 nice bike man i have one of these myself

  • @HondaRiderCR250

    Apparently neither do you. 6 seconds of run time does not mean wind the thing into oblivion.

  • @HondaRiderCR250 if you moved you foot a little farther ahead you wouldnt need to slip your foot off the kick start and watch it slipping if off like that i got close to 200psi comp in my '84 cr250 and i tore through my work boots and the side of my left from starting it like that

  • @IIWARF4REII I had one of these with a new motor that fattened my ankle because the compression was so high. I could get mine started on the 2 kick at the most. Top of the compression cycle and it starts rather easy-if it don't compression back up and bust your foot!

  • @IIWARF4REII dude no offense but try jetting it propperly and prime the cylinder before you initiinally kick it ,i agree i wouldnt want to get pegged by the recoil.a buddy of mine broke his ankle from the compression stroke years ago.

  • Seem's to be alot of know at all's who reply to these videos

  • just to clarify, i was 16 when i made this video. i was 5'10" and weighed 135 lbs. this bike was clearly too big for me, but i rode it anyways.

  • @HondaRiderCR250 im 14 and taller then 6 ft o.O anyway lol i JUST got a 98 CR 250, and im stepping up from a ttr 125.. all i gotta say is HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

  • @WiryOak omg dude same here.went from a drz125 to a 250 2 stroke

  • @AllOutRiding Hows it working for you? I already broke a radiator. Im going to do a few track videos when its fixed.

  • @WiryOak fine.just respect the bike and you should be fine

  • @AllOutRiding Aw, But you got to abuse to amuse.

  • @HondaRiderCR250 im 15 133lbs and 5 9 and i have a kx500

  • @HondaRiderCR250 Shit man whern I was 16 I was still dickin around on my rm125, I thought the 'clankin sound was the kicker springin back but it was obviously the sound of your balls swingin together!!!

  • @NeoLeaver lmao yeah...they get used to it after a while

  • follow thru god damn it and dont be scared of the recoil.

  • You need to follow through with those kicks. Don't roll off the kickstarter at the bottom of the kick.

    New top end, cold start and you don't even give it time to warm up before gettin' on it? You need another one in a couple of months. LOL

  • it was funny when he fell off at 0:42

    thumbs up

  • these bikes are deadly drum breaks front and back. iv not rode an older bike since i swernow.ved to miss a kid on a path and hit a tree.air lifted to hospital, (broken collerbone, left arm, fractured leg and smashed jaw. got pins and plates everywere

  • he wasnt pushing his leg down fast enough and he kept on moving his leg back

  • and the winner is!....not him,he couldn't start his bike. :) My brother had this beast and yes it was a hard starter.

  • and the winner is!....not him,he couldn't start his bike.

  • what about the other one in the background?

  • it took him 22 kicks because this bike has a high compression top end not cuase hes week

  • !!!!!EPIC FAIL HE TRIED LIKE 10 TIMES!!!!!

  • just skip to 1:44

  • omg i'm in heaven

    though the first 27 kicks constitutes gross trial and error

  • do u have to warm it up first by kicking it over 200 times, what a pile of crap

  • honda power!

  • get your bells on and come on down to the annual country fair. there's pony rides, fairy floss, cake stalls, heaps of mini-games, and a big BBQ to satisfy those growling stomachs. so come on down with the whole family you'll love it!!

    you faggot

  • thats why old motorcrossers have one leg bigger than the other

  • @JOCKATEO dats heleriouse lol

  • @JOCKATEO lol to funny

  • @JOCKATEO true :D

  • dude ur supposed to prime the cylinder first im pretty sure

  • Get some bigger boots on and get angry with it! Let the kicker up sometimes or you always be kicking the beast for a long time!

  • why do u let ur foot off the kick start 4 just keep it on there while it goes up

  • @Rik13Loc you down want that beast coming back up at you. i shattered my ankel from doing that once

  • @ababmxerdude WAT a weak sauce drink more milk buddy u have a weak amune system and lack of calcium

  • Put a nickle in it:)

  • dude look its a relic

  • testin out your suspenion their buddy u must like up and down alot

  • do you kick like that so the kickstart doesnt kick back and break your leg?

  • left side kick start? wtf?

  • @SarcasmGraphics euro style

  • @85raminator never seen that. looks tough.

  • @SarcasmGraphics you get used to it ive owned bikes with it on either side

  • @SarcasmGraphics the honda Elsinore bikes always had left side kick start. that's one thing they were known for along with being some of the most powerful dirtbikes around.

  • omg it soudns like a hammer hitting a metal plate when hes kicking it

  • @98kawasakikx250 That's the kickstart coming back up and hitting the exhaust... so, it pretty much is.

  • @SarcasmGraphics it's made in CHINA thats why..lmao just kiddin'..prolly the camra..my Mac does it all the time I make a vid on it.

  • @SarcasmGraphics

    Yeah the old bikes have gear shifter on the right side , brake on the left and kick on the left ..

    i dont think i could kick with my left , right is best :)

  • me also inmy crf250r 2009 black edition

    im 15 >> when i want to kick it i wear a boot then i be angry and saying aaaaaaaaaaaa

    then the bike will be scared from me

    then its start

    check this !!

  • Get bigger boots and kick it like a real beast to get it fired up - get more angry!

  • wow this bike sounds like a bag of nails and the way he starts it look paintful after nearly 2 minutes of letting the kickstart fly up ionto the engine and probably scratch the balls out of it when it finally decides to start it is loud as fuck i pumps out more smoke then i heavy smoker it sounds like a bag of shit the guy looks like he cant ride it for shit. then he rides of and revs it behind the camera and there is a shitty sounding knocking noise then he doesnt care to use the brake. amatuer

  • how much different are these bikes than the water cooled ones? i might get an 1984 cr500 and some people told me that if i want a really bike to get the water cooled one but a cr500 is a cr500 right?

  • @skillsaw94 air cooled cr500 was known as the ping king, it never ran right even with race gas, gotta have the head machined by an old timer from the days when it was new or just stay away and buy an older 480 or a water cooled cr500

  • you slip of all the time. Practise kickstarting

  • ya these early 80s bikes were a pain to start especially big bores,need good boots to kick it over ,power was very harsh to much throttle and over backwards you went.

  • thats a good way to rev it cold....

  • no rear brake? seems a little dangerous lol

  • this is why i love electric star =D but real nice bike

  • The bike must have been flooded or cold

  • kiicking that much before it starts means an air leak

  • 1:40........this is getting rediculous

  • lol god nobody starts these things right. top top top dead center, choke on and full kicks with no throttle. my elsinore took 3 kicks to start.

  • wow nice bike but holy crap that thing doesnt start

  • @k3ith2x23 i love how u talk all this shit about how your bikes are better and his is a piece of shit and then your like ill trade u haha that means yur bikes shit but nice bike man i got the same one but mines not clean and its eaiser to start lol but nice

  • 1.46 to start it.... if the police are comming for u.. be quicker if u jus runn off hahaha

  • lol 50 kicks later... but sick old skool

  • are you kiking it like that because you dont want it to kick back? just wondering

  • cool my dad and uncle had one of those... my uncle hurt himself badly but my dad knew ohw to handle a big bore 2-stroke lol

  • LOL the bike doesn't start till the video is over.

  • around 22 trys the lill 2stroke has woken. thats one of the reasons i dont like 2 strokes but i do like hondas

  • @HONDASBEST my yamaha dt 250 will always start in 1-2 kicks cold or hot

  • retard

  • my 83 cr 250 has left side kick also, just for info......
