Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Cylinder question
dezracer:
Thanks guys. I'm going with my original plan and will have the cylinder replated. I'm going to use Rick Peterson Motorsports. They are close to me so I should get my cylinder back within 3 weeks. I checked on buying a new cylinder and Kelly's said it would be like $560. Maybe in the future that would be an option. I'm a little poor right now since I just got done doing the motor on my 380 and the 500 is getting the works. I'm totally redoing the whole bike. The checking account is running a little low. Hopefully when I'm done, the 500 will rip again. :)
Rick:
I just love a fresh 500...
dezracer:
It's better than new car smell. :D
dezracer:
Thanks for the tip on Rick Petersons Motorsports. They hooked me up. I decided to go through the whole motor. New top-end, bearings, seals and repainted the frame and cleaned everything. It does not look like the same bike that I started with. Sweet. :D

That's the way to do it. Just replace everything at once. Early summer I did the same thing including the bottom end as well. I opted to powder coat my frame in black and replaced every fastener, nut and bolt while I was at it. I wanted a newer K5 but my boss gave me a $2K budget to rebuild. I just had the suspension rebuilt by Race Tech last summer. Ha! I still have $300 left over to put something else into it! How does the V-Force perform compared to the Rad Valve?
