1997 CR80 help!!!

[BassGin3]

My friends little brother want's to buy a 1997 CR80 and wants me to look at it for him because he knows nothing about bikes. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help tell me what I should look for in this particular bike such as maybe the frames were weak and cracked, possible common tranny problems, or anything like that. Any help would be great!!:D

i had a 1996 cr80... same as the 1997 cr80 just differn color rear fender...


look where the head pipe meets the cylinder... that was a common problem on my bike it leaked there...


fork seals were always blowing on it... i had to constantly replace those... so check the fork seals...

besides that i never had a problem with the bike... ran perfectly fine!

I would do a compression test
