kx500 hare scrambles??
reknelb:
I'm thinking of doing some hare scrambles next year and was wondering if anyone here has done them on a kx500? Any set-up tips or suggestions?
I know of a local guy that has one in his garage that he bought new back in 90-91, he raced it for a couple years and its been stored ever since. My buddies all ride the newer 4 strokes and i want to put them back in thier place :P
Paul:
The big KX is a most excellent hare scrambler. Just don't run one of them "OLD MAN" Rick weights :shock: :lol:
Honestly, all the KX needs for hare scrambling is gearing and suspension work, and a steering stabilizer.
Rick:
Ouch, Paul, that hurts... :)
I guess if I always ran good tires, I would like the power delivery better without the flywheel weight. I'm just too cheap.
Paul:
hahahaha :mrgreen:
reknelb:
How does the flywheel weight affect the higher rpms and gears? Wouldn't you lose hp with added crank weight? I do like the idea of balancing the crank if it really works.
Any truth to the over heating, and jetting problems once the motor is warm? I think I read this on another site.
