OEM Honda CR500 Cylinder Head

OEM Honda CR500 Cylinder Head (1989–2001) –  Stock OEM or Stage I Performance Upgrade

Unlock the full potential of your Honda CR500 with the OEM Honda CR500 Cylinder Head (Part #12200-ML3-760), available exclusively from MSV Racing.

Why the Stage I Head Changes the Game

• Higher Compression for More Power: 4cc removed from the combustion chamber (66cc to 62cc) to raise compression and tighten the squish band.

• Optimized Combustion: Polished combustion bowl for a cleaner, more efficient burn.

• Easy Starting with Decompression Valve: All Stage I come with Decomp Valve making your CR500 kick over like a CR125—less strain on you and your cases means more riding.

• Proven on Pump Gas: Great gains without needing race fuel.

Available Configurations:

• Stage I Performance Head: In Natural Silver, Bronze Cerakote, or Thermal Dispersant Black Cerakote finishes.

• Stock OEM Head: Genuine factory replacement for exact fit and legendary Honda reliability.
