AUSK5 checking in, what differences over the model years
« on: August 06, 2008, 03:28:15 PM »
Hi guys, have been lurking for quite some time now signed up. Ride down south of Western Australia. Have a 04 KX 500 and I'll post some pics soon.

Can anyone list the changes over the years to the K5, minimul I know but some significant changes non the less.

 It's good to hear others are riding the  last year KX500. I really dont know the differences ,other the the colors of the tank,shrouds, and frame. But wanted you to know your thread was being read.
   Perhaps now, others will chime in and list the changes.

hey ausk5

im in N.S.W and i have an 03. you will find that the fork colours are diff as well. i heard that there were a few suspension changes mid to late 90's, but as stated the changes were very subtle
2008 FE650 (KX500 but with manners and E-Start)
2003 KX500 Scares me! (Reminded me I couldn’t ride well)
1997 TE610 Arm chair! (Made me think I could ride)
2000 CT110 Fun!
1986 KDX200 SOLD! (But looking for another)
1970 AG100 Still makes me 😀

Good to see another West Aussie on here. welcome. From what i remember there was a bit of a suspension change in 97? but thats about it. A search will probably reveal a bit.
