Decisions, decisions.....older kx500, or newer cr500

hughes:
Just to support what Gowen said. They are pretty simple to rebuild. I just rebuilt mind this hoilday(first time for me). Rick's sticky post really helped me. The toughest thing I think was getting the right tool for the shock bladder to remove it. Rick's sticky tells you how to make a slide hammer type tool(I think). Good Luck :lol:

--- Quote from: reknelb ---Went and looked at the '90 kx500 yesterday. Started with 4 kicks, ran pretty good, even idled :)  The only problem I could really find on the thing was a leaking rear shock seal. The rear end of the bike sat about 2" lower than normal. Are the rear shocks rebuildable?

even idled? ..mines a 89 and it runs like a top fuel dragster..lol its not stock and i dont know if the engine was rebuilt but it couldnt run better for an older bike..id like to race a new 500, im pretty sure i can beat any stock 04 500, id go with the 500 man, 90 was a good year :)
