Nice to see some young guys riding 500's.I'm 5'11'' and 190lbs.

6'4" and 202 pounds just out of the shower and naked as a jaybird. Don't need to gain or lose any weight. My bike has the tallest bars I could find on the data charts (have no idea whose bend it is) and rolled forward so the ends turn up slightly; I have swapped the bar clamps for clamps that are one in taller; and I have added 2 inches to the seat foam to accomodate my 36" inseam. If you're not tall, the bike feels like riding a horse, but if you're tall, it's perfect.

I 5'10" and about 275. The KX is tall for me until I sit on it! Rick posted some good info on making dogbones to lower the bike. If that's needed.

6'4"+, 275+/-, working on hacking that down to around 240. Raised my seat foam 2" for my 35" inseam, taller tapered bars with higher mounting adapters, stock rear spring but cranked the adjusters for max stiffness/height. A guy said to me one day "Mac, you are the only guy I know that can make a KX500 look small"

Thats funny KMAC, I get those " are you riding a 80?" jokes all the time!
6'7" here and 255lbs I use a tall seat and Moose Big Bars (Dick Burleson bend-just like CR tall but narrow for woods) and roll them forward a little.
It is the best fit I have ever had on a bike!

I am 6' and 235~, trying to get back down to 215 or so, and with tall bars find the fit just about right.

5' 8" and a portly 190lbs. Stumpy legs suck in the rocks!

6'1" and 190 lbs. Chicks call me the love machine

Ok, all my X's hate me (except a few) but isn't that how it always happens

04kx500 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 06, 2004, 01:31:45 PM »

6'1 at 200 lbs even with 34 inseam fits just right. I have larger friends who ride my bike with more problems from the added traction their weight brings, oh well its worth that scared look on their face !!
