Hello everyone .. just time for the first run of 2002 kx 500. it's like a dinosaur .. horrible to drive, that goes directly, but not turn .. 132.5 mm dog bones to help, but what else? 250kx triple tree?? if what year?? or something else? kx 500 triple is 22mm offset..
what is this product offset and are they good?  http://brpmoto.com/products?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.tpl&product_id=693&category_id=1598

maybe it looks like a dinosaur, but it handles even better...  8-)

is it your first 500?

offset of triple clamps is the same like 250 only difference is the stem in cause of the smaller bearings...  you could lift up the fork legs a little bit over the clamps, that gives more handling to the front end in turns.

you need a little bit defense in your riding style . all over the world is only a hand full of pro-riders, that could the k5 ride aggressiv up to all limits...  8-)

what also helps, is changing the rear sprocket , for smoother acceleration and to hold the frontwheel down on earth  :-)

hi poko...http://brpmoto.com/       
your link wasn't working

I myself have never used BRP Racing products, but I know a few guys that do and have no complaints about them...and I have seen a set of triples in a thread on some ones build on here before.
Emig Racing has some really nice sets as well...  http://emigracing.com/  and there are guys on here that use them, not just for triple clamps.

Welcome to the site too!

is it your first 500?  I do not have another 2002 years model 250cc honda cr frame!
that I bought in 2002 and I want to keep it original!! but I will try to improve its use on the track! .. power is not me dizzy! but the frame geometry is designed for direct driving it interferes with the

sounded first like you never rode a 500 before... ;O)

i race a 87 frame and this bike handles real good in small turns and corners ... the frame is very similar to the kx500 frame ´88-2004 but it makes a big difference if i ride the 250, 360 or 500 engine in it...  the bigger the engine, the more torque and rotating masses are to handle .. with the 250 it is always easy playriding.  with the 500 is needed a lot more sensibility in the right hand to bring the power to the ground in very small turns.
i love this kind of power  :-D
