blew up my very first kx500 after a single ride, found the site looking for a jetting chart on the bike, witch led to a engine rebuild guide witch led to a overflow bottle mod witch led to massive amounts of hours reading stories and tips and tricks haha and became obsessed with listening to motorad sandblaster usmc and every other friendly bunch that is nice enough to share all this information with all of us "less" mechanically engineering smart people..


thanks guys

i was doing a random KX500 Google search after I picked up my third KX5 ten years after selling my second one.
Was surprised at how my reactions had dulled, or was I just remembering I was better (lucky?) then I actually was back then?!?!
Had a nasty crash and could swear as I was laying on the ground taking a body damage inventory and the bike was banging away beside me trying to eat my leg it was screaming "GET UP, GET UP! COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?!?!"  :-D

I followed Sandblaster here from SMJ. Then I got my 1990 KX250 and the rest is history.

 I arrived here mainly because I was intriqued with the af conversions and was pondering doing so with mine. I was watching a youtube vid and in the discussion segment there was mention of CR500 riders.com so I tried KX500 """" and well here I am . This is the vid I watched ..    https://youtu.be/wBLpQMIzcNs  .

Nice bike.
I'm thinking he should have visited this site before building that engine.
Just a few changes...
Wossner piston
Balanced crank.
Kips bolt mod
Team green cleanup on the transfers and bridges.
A little off the top of the cylinder and a special base gasket.
Head cut and decomp
VF2 reed
MZB ignition
Monster!

If Mitch Payton suddenly realized that you are a long lost relative and decided to give you a brand new set of A Kit suspension, would you get gold legs or the turquoise?  I'm torn, but I think I would go with the gold.
