About the Honda CR480
Use the complete CR480R designation to turn a CR480 search into a specific repair.
Honda’s CR480R is part of the company’s early-1980s motocross history. The 1982 machine combines an air-cooled two-stroke single with Pro-Link rear suspension. Owners often shorten the name to CR480, while the full CR480R designation appears in model documentation and parts applications.
Use this CR480 page to plan the restoration, then open the CR480R collection for model-specific parts. The guide separates brake and steering items listed for both 1982 and 1983 from clutch plates listed for 1982 and fork oil seals listed for 1983. On a project assembled from donor parts, the identity of the fitted engine and chassis matters alongside the frame year.
