I forgot to add, show some pics of the Champion 250, I grew up racing FT & had an Astro & then a StarRacer with the first RM250 motor & it was an awesome bike on the bigger tracks, just not quite as good on the short tracks. Found a program from one of the Amateur Nationals that I ran back in the day, I was racing against Parker, Carr, Kocinski, Chandler & many more big names, now I know why they & their bikes were so fast!  :|

Welcome to the forum Spencer,

As stated, Great Guys here willing to help out however they can. Looks like your bike is a 1992 model & not a 91 as the 92/93 had the Blue Stanchion/Fork tubes & the sticker on the swingarm looks 92 also. Check your VIN on the steering head, we can tell for sure that way & I have been wrong before (just ask my Wife :x) & usually we see it the other way as a owner thinks he has a 2001 model & it's actually a 93.

You said you got to ride one of Stewarts K5s, as many of us are curious as to how well they run, is it a Huge Difference between yours & his? I have heard of others taking a ride in the alley (behind the shop) and almost looping out, or at the Chat piles the motor just keeps pulling no matter how steep.

On your revving issue make sure you have the clip in the cable where it goes into the Carb Top. :-D

Hey Spence,
 Welcome to the Forum,
   I think you would be hard pressed to find a better bunch of Old School Hooligans to hang out with for a few minutes a day surfing the web.

Joplin has a little over 45,000 people, not including the surrounding cities. Webb City, Duequnse, Dueneweg, Carl Junction, etc. Probably a little over 65,000.
But as for KX500 owners in Joplin, I only know Stewart Rouse, Joey Purvis and three other guys who own KX500's who ride with the two about mentioned names.
All of my other friends think I'm crazy for riding a KX500...
