hello all, second post here after my introduction in the intro forum.
so i'm looking for more from my KX 500, as well as a few little fixes for some problems.
i'm looking into a new pipe, the stock ones been cracked a few times, but keeps cracking next to the weld seam since we don't have an oxy-acetylene set to weld it with, only a TIG set, and of course i would like some more go (who wouldn't?) the bikes ridden in a variety of terrain, from some very tight single track and hill's, to dunes and fire trails, so i was thinking a fatty pipe would be a great option, only problems is, i got no idea if anyone even makes a fatty for the 500 (FMF?)
i'm planning on doing a top end, more for piece of mind then anything, it doesn't NEED it, but i can get parts at cost price from a close friend who happens to own a kawi dealer, so it won't break the bank, also thinking of putting some after market reeds in, i would like v force 3's, but i really ve no idea if they're even made for the kx500, i haven't found anywhere that mentions them.
a quieter muffler, i would like to gain some power, but i am willing to loose a few horses in the quest for quiet, i'm a strong believer in quieter bikes means more riding area's, and i can't stand loud bikes anyway, also after a FWW, i thought stealthy would make one, but i couldn't find anything on there website, looking for around a 10-15 oz.
and lastly, the kicker is starting to get a bit dicky (a lot of play in the bushings), i was wondering if anyone here knew of either a way to fix the stocker, or an after market one that does a better job.
thanks, Scott.
