My KX500 at last!!!!!

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

So finely I have a KX500, after wanting it for 10 years at least.
If I'm right its from 98 and hasn't run for years.
Has a HGS exhaust( dutch #1 brand).
Wider footpeg mount than I've seen befor.
And last but not least RUSTY bolts . A bit of elbow crease and work it wil shine.

and that cylinder looks just new to me.
i say give it TLC and ride it ,come to nunspeet ,or dalfsen ,
or do you go to ijmuiden ,de kuil
you come to the annual 500meeting in nunspeet too

goodluck with it

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

I don't now if the KUIL is open again, was closed for polution problem.
Het Tweetakt Treffen (Two stroke event) is so mthing I can't get around now.
Planing to bring my brother on my uncle's k5 to.  The cilinder is re-nicalsiled.(nieuwe "chroomlaag)
Whant to ride it first in Den Helder, small hour drive for me and is deep sand.
Must ride this year a lot more. Nuspeet, Ermelo or so.

  Very nice DK5, 
 When I got my KX5 it was in 4 cardboard boxes. 
 Does the engine turn over ? 
 Will you pull the pipe and inspect the Cyl. through the exhaust?
   
Congratulations, Looking forward to updates

hey peter ,are you going after this one ?
seems a nice   buy ,if the frame is a go for k5,ing it 

 clickclick
if i had the 1000 ..i would go pick it up tonight 

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

Thats the plan, but its ?1500 with wheels. Could be the first Kx500af in holland
Although I heard some one else is also busy vd vegt says.
The kxf250 is the hard way to do, 450 would be beter. Coulnd find one for a good price.



I've ridden it for 500 yards, it shifts, revs. Don't realy have to inspect the cilinder,
it's had nicasil threatment. But will check everything.

if you wanna sell your old k5 stuff when you have your 500AF,
please remember me ,i,m always lookin for nice parts

btw ive been celebrating 500 posts 
once in a lifetime happening if it,s right
 pic of it 

[RoostDaddy]

congrats on a nice looking kx5.

How does the HGS pipe perform?  I have a SPES and I was thinking they were probably pretty similar.  (good for higher revs)

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

I have never tested HGS vs stock or Spes or what else. This is my first own K-5.
Euro pipes manufactures don,t tel much how there exhaust perform.
If I get the chance I wil share it here. My uncle's bike has a Rino Exhaust, should be the same as Spes.

Your Euro to RoostDaddy???

And Freekie, when I sell parts.


          Your the first to now

Pretty sure that Eric Gorrs book says that European pipes are usually setup for tuned cylinders and more topend power.

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

It could be that. Taming the beast is easiest to move the power up.

Demographic    I search for Kickstarter mods or heavier versions of the on the site here.
And found that the 98 to 04 are better. (Part#13064-1165 vs #13064-1201)
Have you tryed them out jet??

[RoostDaddy]

Dutchie,
 
No I'm not Euro.  But I think I am probably the only Lucky American left with a KX500 Spes 
  Anyone know if there are any American suppliers for any of the Euro exhausts?   Last I heard Spes/Doma are no longer being imported.

glad to hear peter when you start building ??

Pretty sure that Eric Gorrs book says that European pipes are usually setup for tuned cylinders and more topend power.

gorr has that right ,bone stock they will not even run on pipes like : millet/spes/hgs/doma etc
