Hi All.
I thought I would go ahead and introduce myself very briefly.
I am 27, married, two kids, and one more on the way. I am a Electrical Engineer at a major defense contractor, and 3/4 of the way through my masters degree. End of boring stuff...
I started riding when I was about 10. It was on a 1960's 125 enduro. The bike was slow and heavy, but it was wheels. When I turned 13 or 14 I bought a 89 KX250. That bike was great. Always ran great, and never left me stranded anywhere. Sold that bike when I got married 6 years later, and started riding my dads KX500. I have been riding it ever since.
The bike has low hours, and is pretty much bone stock. I think it is the original top end, and until yesterday, had the original front tire. I like working on small projects in my spare time(which isn't much), so I plan to tear the bike apart this summer. It always runs good, but I think it is time for a little more TLC. I would also love to learn more about how to tune and adjust these bikes.
I look forward to corresponding with all of you as I get started. Sorry if this was to much info.
