Title: Factory Specs
Post by: dmg on February 03, 2009, 02:27:13 AM
Where is the best place to find the factory specs for my 92' KX 500. I do not have the manual, and am having a hard time finding what the stock carburetor is set up like. I looked at the sticky at the top of the page, and I need more detail.

Also, I would like to buy a new manual, do anyone have a  recommendation  for a really good one. I see quite a few people mention a Clymers manual. Where could I get it?

Thanks,

Darin

  Did you by any chance ask anyone to send you one?
  All I need is your Address, I don't have alot of discretionary funds, but will buy & ship if you are willing to pay for the Item.  I am not looking for profit, just cost of item & ship to Adam Square... :wink:

  F.S.M. I think better anyway. :-)
