What would be some good mods for my 92 KX500 for more bottum to top end power? I want to smoke that joker because thay sed my 92 KX is a big old heavy piece junk and any bike thay own will dog me :evil:. Bikes like a yz80, rm125, cr250 and a kx125 that i beat with my stock banshee five times and my KX will kill both my banshee all day long but "all of the bikes thay have do over 110 mhp" can you belive this. Man these guys need to be shut down thay have too much mouth and dont know what thay are talking about.

"more bottom end " cripes, how much more brutal, violent low end do you need ??? Most all KX500 riders try to mellow out the bottom end hit. Do yourself a big favor and stop listening to your dumbass mouthy buddies, they are just playing the psych game. Trust us, your KX500 is good tune has more power than you will ever effectively be able to use....

Quit bench racing and hit the dirt!
Don't just float through life, make waves!

1st, plenty of practice at getting off the line hard, work out what gear to start in (2nd would be my guess,as 1st will only result in the front wheel being smashed into the clouds, but it does look impressive!!!!)
2nd, dont listen to his mouthy crap. a 65bhp k5 weighing 105kg has the drop on a 55bhp diesel weighing 120kg.the only place a diesel has the upper hand is useability and tight chuggy stuff.once you pull the pin, watch his manhood shrivel, closely followed by the contents of his wallet.
3rd,get used to SLIGHTLY dragging your rear brake on launch to stop it going postal on you.any power used lifting the front wheel isnt driving you forward.
4th, u can use your kill button as a quick shifter. instead of clutching when changing gear,hit the button and shift.the intermittent lack of spark creates enough slack in the tranny to change gear without the clutch.
5th,play with your tyre pressure (rear).lower psi means good hook up off the mark, but increased rolling friction.higher psi means poorer traction off the line but decreased rolling friction.
6th, KICK THAT DIESELS' ASS!
HOPE THIS HELPS, KWAKMAN.
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
