KX500 Wish List.
What do you want someone to start making next?
I want something simple and mundane..
Billet rear brake lever should be doable with a bearing instead of a bushing like this
I want a shift star like this, but coated in some super slick whatever.
And a bearing like this,
A modded piston would be nice... slightly longer skirt and better reinforcement where we need it so we can trim some more in other places.
What do you guys want?
Motorrad:
Some one else's gas card

All the failures I've had on my 500AF have been on the clutch side. Kick starter large spring (dog tensioner), shift star wheel tensioner spring that broke and the pressed in crankshaft spur gear water pump drive gear that snapped off! That one cost me split cases and electro-discharge machining to remove the Rockwell bazillion hardness broken shaft out of the crankshaft! Ended up putting in a new crankshaft anyway.
I know those here may not want to hear it but my 500 has been less than reliable compared to my other bikes!
