Seems to be a problem with those links...
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Very nice....
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....

Beautiful work.
It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

Wow, I LOVE admiring an OEM restoration ! That KX500 resto must have cost some bucks $$ !  Where did you find all the plastics ? Are they restored or did you find them new ?
