About the Honda CR480R
The CR480R’s short model run still calls for careful year-by-year parts selection.
The 1982 Honda CR480R is an air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke motocross machine with Honda’s Pro-Link rear suspension. Its competition background makes the condition and identity of the chassis as important as the engine when preparing an older example for use.
Planning a CR480R repair starts with the model year and the installed chassis. A 1982 clutch job and a 1983 fork service use different year-specific listings, while the brake shoes and steering bearing kit below list both years. Keep the removed parts for comparison, especially if a previous owner fitted replacement wheels or forks.
Compare the actual applicationCR480R part and year differences
Compare the year on every row. The 1983 fork oil seals must not be extended to 1982, and the 1982 clutch plates must not be extended to 1983. The brake-shoe listing also requires a position and hub check; a collection link cannot resolve that detail.
| Part | Listed model and years |
|---|---|
| Fork oil seals | CR480R 1983 |
| Brake shoes | CR480R 1982–1983 |
| Steel clutch plate | CR480R 1982 |
| Clutch plate | CR480R 1982 |
| Steering bearing kit | CR480R 1982–1983 |
Identify the fitted equipmentCR480R year and chassis checks
- Confirm CR480R and the model year from the frame identification and matching Honda documentation.
- Identify the fork assembly and compare the complete oil-seal dimensions and profile before ordering.
- For 1982 clutch work, distinguish the steel plate from the other clutch plate and compare the stack order, thickness and quantity.
- For brake or steering work, compare the fitted hub, brake position or bearing-seat dimensions with the listing.
