who is one of the best at it on a kx 500

Brindle,

Eric Gorr at Forward Motion worked over my cylinder 2 weeks ago.  I had the upper mid to full throttle works porting with head and piston mods.

Very reasonable pricing.  2 weeks turnaround time.

I followed all the info I could find in this forum relative to fuel, squish clearance, ignition timing, break in etc.

Best info you'll find anywhere. Bar none

Let us know how your bike turns out

I think that Dordie is the expert on engine work. He ice races and lives in Europe so he is usually on line late at night.

Use the search under the R in the KX Riders Logo at the top of the page. Also look through the Gallery and see what you can find.

There will be more people on later, most of them are riding during the weekend days.

So hang in there and some will assist you shortly!

Welcome to the site!

Alan
