Love the sound of the 500! Pretty impressive numbers out of the 450 too.

HP numbers weren't bad but I'm sure more then a few on this site could build a much stronger KX500 engine... :wink:
And why not replace the shock with one off the 15 as well?
Someone needs to talk to those guys...
Also the Emig dog bones would be a nice touch.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

KX500 shock body/ piggyback is mounted lower than a kx250 or kxf because the exhaust pipe goes over it.
