Hi everyone I'm new so if this has already been talked about i'm sorry in advance.. I recently got a 1998 KX500 that has less than 10 hours on it. The bike is 100% stock. I only ride trails and am wanting to know of any good mods to do to the bike. Also I have heard about converting to a 18 inch rear wheel?. Also does anyone make a auto clutch for it? relvoc use to but they are out of business now..Thanks

over sized front rotor, I think it's an EBC rotor, I run this on the KX500AFC bike http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/10/209/25325/DPITEM/Dirt-Bike-Motocross-Brake-Rotors-Braking-Batfly-270mm-Oversized-Front-Rotor-Kit.aspx
 
ASV shorty levers,  http://asvinventions.com/Universal-Clutch-with-Quick-Adjust-Pro-Perch.html

2008 CR450R Honda front master cylinder so the Cyra hand guards will fit without bending them.

I would only use an auto clutch if you can over ride it with the clutch lever.  I ran into a hidden tree limb riding my CR500, it jerked my right arm making me pin the throttle.  I ride with my hand on the clutch lever and clutched it saving a loop out.  With most auto clutches you can no longer push start the bike.
