Quick Review / Highlights
The CR85R (2003–2007) and CR85RB “Expert” variant earned praise for sharp handling, responsive top-end power, and a nimble chassis. The Expert model extended suspension travel and wheel size, making it better for larger riders while maintaining agility. Some riders praise its “razor-sharp handling” and raw two-stroke personality in tight, technical tracks.
Buying tips for a used CR85
Engine & hours
Ask whether any racing modifications (pipe, porting, carb tuning) have been applied — overly aggressive mods can over-stress reeds, pistons or crank bearings. Reed petals and reed blocks can degrade with time; check for wear, air leaks or cracking. Older models may require careful jetting adjustments, especially in varying altitude or climates — incorrect jetting is a common source of poor running or engine damage.
Chassis & suspension
Inspect frame welds at head tube, swingarm mounting, linkage bearings, and shock mount points for cracks, fatigue or repair marks.
