there is a member here by the name of PVO that put a Kx500 motor in a street chassis.  he was playing with all kinds of balance factors etc due to the fact I believe he had the motor in at a differant angle.

perhapse somone like blaster. who actually bookmarks the entire site for refferance., instead of memorizing it like me.    will post a link

Also, if you want to see the differences in the engine parts as well as the chassis parts check out this chart:

crank balance is a big factor..if it performs like a rodeo-bull, it turns the bike into a big vibrator and thats no good ride. the engine is also faster worn out..
 sandblaster has done a good work with his listing, buts is easier to see with pictures, so you can compare all kx500 facts also here in the oem-schematics --  www.cmsnl.com  --

and found this on youtube.. :-D   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Clv_h8zDrz4

WOW, you guys are awsome.  The crank was balance by falicon. Lance

lance89:
I just read through some of the build by PVO. That was a seriouse build.  You guys will be dissapointed in mine.  Its not nearly as in depth as that. I'm just stuffing it in street bike frame. I cant figure out to insert a pic. Lance
