Just to excited had to let everyone know I got my k5 running yesterday and rode it for a while I'd forgot how much fun it is! Been so busy building my trx250r I just put the kx aside for awhile. Just ordered 200and$ worth of new parts for it so pics coming soon!

Sweet!
After my last accident I couldn't ride for about a year.
I couldn't wait to get back on it.
Nothing like the rush of K5 POWER!
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

True that. I hadn't rode it 8 months or so.
