Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Very rare kx500 cylinder

I can see that custom pipe in your pic that thing is fat does it have some good top end or what? I am working on my own custom pipe too using hydroforming but I'm sure it will take some trial and error to get it perfect but anyway you have a sweet pipe hopefully I will too

My pipe and cyl/head work was built for a STRONG mid to top end power curve. I only ride it on the ice. 40 plus LBS just extra of screws and liners in tires, plus gearing I needed torque more than HP.
This pipe design is also run on a CR500 roadrace bike at louden NH, he does very well. If I could find a SM setup cheap or could borrow the stuff I would run mine on the Louden Roadcourse. Wife wouldn't like it but you know. More laps never hurt. :wink:

That's all your body needs is a SM KX500 high side at 90 mph down the front straight... :-o

That's just mean. I'm old and worn out, what are you trying to say? I would be more nervous coming back on the nascar oval, that's the part of the track intimidates me in the legend car at high speed. The wall just looks so big in them cars, couldn't think about it on a bike.
