What Kx 500 parts are no longer being made?
« on: April 06, 2017, 08:15:27 PM »
Hello all, Newbie here. I am buying a 1996 KX 500 in pieces as a project. It is missing some things like the seat, handlebars, front wheel , various plastics, brakes. The engine is completely disassembled for a total rebuild. Gears are supposed to be good. I have read on here there are some things kawasaki is not making for the 500 anymore.

I want a project but could this be a case of I can't find a part for year or would things be priced crazy. So just wondering how much a headache could I be in for if some things are hard to come by. So whats not being made anymore? Thanks

I've started a page at KX Guru Racing on parts that are not available and possible solutions:

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
