Hello list,
I am new and would like to know what I need to do convert my CR80 into a SUpermotard.
I need wheels, bigger brakes, suspension set up who do I send it to????

What are your suggestion.

Hope to dice with you racers soon.

for a CR80 your stock brakes will be fine, just put some nice EBC HH pads on it. As far as suspension goes I would check your local area for people that do motorcycle suspension stuff, and send your forks and shock to them. Although the stock stuff isn't bad. For wheels I would suggest either Buchanon Spoke or East Coast wheels. Sprocket Specialists for your sprockets. Good luck

Basically, what Fast said...

I raced a CR80 in 2001 and part of 2001. I found that the stock suspension was good enough for me (I was then 148) and that the stock brakes were fine. The only changes I made was an FMF Fatty pipe and silencer, and had the stock hubs laced up to a 2.5 front and a 3.5 rear. 125cc roadrace tires fit perfectly.

Good luck and have fun.

Would it be better to use the big-wheel version, or stick with the regular CR?

17s fit pretty snug on a small wheel, but will work. If you have a small wheel, don't sweat it. Ditto on the 3.5/2.5 setup with 125 rubber

What club do you guys race these in?

I have a KX85 and just mounted the Perillie MT75s but will be adding hever springs but everyting other than that is stock. I had a small wheel with the
17/1.60 front and added the Big wheel rear rim (excel) 16/1.80 in place of the stock 14" wheel. We here on the Gulf coast have a club called edgwise-racing.com and there will be a seires of many races at 4 or 5 different tracks.
If you go to the video on the sight you can see me on the KLX125 (Josh Hayes) doing a small stoppie for a very short clip Im also in a few other clips.

Thanks! I only have one track to use (Mega-Racing kart track), but I'm working on that...
