First time in years. Got arm pump in like 10 sec. Blast to be out in Adalanto ca. Ill have to post the vid. -DR
Awesome ! I got arm pump just watching the vid ! LOL As you progress with your 500 you will notice the arm pump lessen. Arm pump was always a huge issue with me, as i'm not a big guy. A few tips, down about 4 Ibuprofins an hour befor you ride, this will thin your blood and minimise muscle fatigue. When you travel down the straights give your arms a break and squeeze the bike with your thighs. Nerveousness is the main factor for arm pump, so try to relax. As you gain speed and hit the downside of all the table jumps you will also have far less fatigue. The KX is NOT a MX track weapon, but you can go fast. The key to go fast with the 500 is to actually slow down and short shift and lug the engine . Too much wheel spin (I know it's the nature of the beast with the KX500) is just wasting hp and gaining rider fatigue. Good luck !
