Mint 02 500 Setting up for moto!

Besides what all has been mentioned... get some dog bones from Emig.
It will help your turning on the mx track.
And get your suspension dialed in..... Nothing else will make you faster.
Then get your head cut and double check your jetting to help with bad fuel.

Thanks, and yes the dog bones are getting ordered next week. Ive played around alot with the jetting its really good now as long as I mix 50/50 110 race fuel with super. I think im going to go ahead and start running straight 110 when I start riding it again.

Off subject but when you used a 450 rear wheel you said in a post that you need to take 20mm off the rotor. Is that on total diameter? 10mm per side correct?

Alward25 made that comment...
I'd PM him.
But 20mm overall or 10mm per side sounds right.

 I did not post any dimentions, I just buy the custom one from Warp 9 and get the wheel spacers from them too to run the kx 450 rear wheel.

What would it hurt to put a 13 tooth on the front? hell im staying 3rd the whole time, 4th sometimes. be cheaper than buying a new rear again.

if you chose to run a 13T front...watch the side of your engine case very carefully....seems anyone that ran a 13 had a lot of issues with the chain chewing into the case.

there's several threads/discussions on it...just use the search option and you'll find plenty.

I read some, Im running just a standard works chain. I wonder if the others where running a big O Ring chain causing the issue?

[Foxx4Beaver]

you can run a narrow O-ring, that are super strong, much narrower than a standard O-ring, and that are much lighter...I run the RK MXU-ring...

I bought my 500 4 years ago yesterday...two weeks after I got it, I put one of these on, and the same one is STILL on, 4 years later. I just keep it clean and lubed.

From Sunday, track was horrible but still felt decent on it. The new front end is so much better, this bike would be pretty dang competitive if I get the suspension valved. Hope to get that done soon!
