Hi, I'm new to this forum and have a couple of 83 CR480's, one which runs and the other is a full restore project. I have lots of questions on these and have trouble getting good info, so hopefully someone can help. Let's start with an easy one, I'm looking for a OEM throttle tube and I see many on eBay that say they're for a CR480 but after going to the Motion Pro site they have no listing for it. They only have them for the 84 CR500. I really don't feel like paying $50 for a NOS one and would like to keep the bike original.

Unfortunately the cost of nos parts for our older bikes goes up considerately when they are out of production. You may be able to find a descent used one on Ebay.
Here are the bikes Partzilla list as the same part number.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm again going to have to bite the bullet and order nos.

Check out this CR480 group. You can ask questions to guys that specialize in the 480's and search past posts for good info. You have to sign up to post questions. Communication is by email. Hope that makes sense!
