Message: [QUOTE="Honda Rippin', post: 253603, member: 21902"] Here's what I bought when I was in your position. I bought a used, '99 CR 80 Expert for $2,000. A pretty good price, well maintained and was a great bike when I showed up to look at it. Take a look at the Cr 80's, it's only an 80, but it jumps. My dad rode it and was scared of it. He made a turn in 3rd and it pulled a wheelie and that freaked him out. If you buy one, here's what I did and it works for me. Get 92 octane fuel, it helps you not foul plugs as easily. I went a month on one plug no joke. Get an FMF Turbine Core II silencer spark arrested for you trail riding. Even if it isn't required, it's still a good idea. Take off the stock 15 primary sprocket and put on a 14 tooth. That gives you alot more low end for trail riding. It won't go as fast in any gear, but if you're riding mostly trails, you don't need to go 60. I've tried all these things and they've worked for me. Oh, and I mix my gas at a 40:1 ratio. Kinda lean but at 32:1 I had spooge coming out the back of my silencer and all over the place and made a huge mess. You can pick up one of these bikes for about $2,000 for a good used one. They are great bikes and I think you would like one if you bought one. Peace out and happy riding! [/QUOTE]
