Shop parts for a 1992 Honda CR80 Dirt Bike.
The 1992 Honda CR80 carried the liquid-cooled, power-valve design into a strong mid-decade competitive position in youth motocross. Honda had the CR80 well sorted by this generation—the suspension and engine package was competitive and the chassis was proven through years of track use. Correct torque values on the ’92 CR80 cover everything from the small engine fasteners to the frame and suspension hardware.
Two-Stroke Engine Specs
The 1992 CR80 features the same liquid-cooled 80cc two-stroke architecture established in earlier years. Cylinder base bolt torque is especially important after the cylinder has been removed for piston or reed valve service—the small bolts must be torqued in sequence to prevent the cylinder from distorting on the crankcase mating surface.
