looks like a stock pipe.....and that kickstarter needs to be rotated forward two teeth...that would drive me nuts!

Brute:
Can't fool anybody on the KX site! Stock pipe, Cobra spark arrestor. Good idea on the kicker! I will do that! See "compression release" on this site for details. One of the best mods I have done on any of the three KX500's I have had. thought I had four KX5's but the wife corrected me... I did not end up buying one of them, just remembered that I did. d**n memory!

dieselbeef:
im beating the same 95 model i bought in 97...rebuilt the whole thing already at least once..twice on the motor and susp tho

thats bout where my kickstarter rides....

COMP RELEASE...WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN COMP RELEASE.

i always tell people if they can start it they can ride it...aint had anyone pass the test in a very long time

gary

It should be more forward,tucked up under the pipe....look at everyones pics in the "Post Pics Of Your KX" thread,and you'll see everyone has them where they should be.With it being rotated back that far,not only does it not give you a FULL kick,but it gets in the way,and by looking at his pic....its rubbing on the pipe...MAJOR rattle maker!!...this is how it should sit.This is how they sit from the factory.

Brute:
It's really more that I forget to do it until I ride again, then think "Later" and go ride. Seeing it here will remind me. I would go out and do it now, but, "Later" sounds good! I usually write out a list of things to do on my various projects so I remember what I wanted to do, but have not on this one. I guess because I have not really had to do much on it. I kind of like that it is so stock and un-modded. Of course I can not leave it that way!
