Yep.
Use the 94-04 KX500 shift shaft P/N 13161-1203.
You will need the newer shift lever.
I used a Hammerhead shift lever for the 06 and newer KX450F with the 20mm offset for my boot size (12)
If you have a smaller boot you can use the standard offset or whatever as they make a few different offsets.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
