Help identify this bike .

I need some help identifying a bike I bought . I was told that its an 1985 CR 500 but Im not so sure . Frame number is CP02690 . No number on motor . Raised pad on left case near kick starter is blank (?) . Could engine number be somewhere else ? Number on cylinder near intake reads 1614582 . Thanks in advance .

hi will, you perhaps post this in the left kicker section, it will get a lot more views. it does indeed look to be 85/86 style. it also looks to be a cr, judging by the "cp" frame number and the long square alum stay running back to the rear drum.
the number you read on the cylinder is its part number. you could look to see if this lines up with a 500 jug perhaps. the only engine number will on the left block half, just behind kicker. some are stamped in and some areon a raised pad. some are faint, some are ground off. should be 8 numbers, 2 groups of 4. the last 4 are what will say the info you need. however, this only identifies the case half. all 82-88 2 stroke stuff swaps around quite easily and may times the innards are not original. bike looks good tho! feel free to post more pics!

1985 500 CR is what you have there. 2 of the 5 we sold @ the dealership had center case problems when new. they were replaced and the replacement cases don't come with #'s on them. maybe thats the case with this motorcycle.

500 CR 1985

You got a nice bike there.
