Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
K5 I might buy, what do you think?

1994 K5 for sale within 2 hours of my house. Waiting for him to send more pics. He says carb needs cleaning but it runs fine. Lots of new parts he says. Asking 2000$, I offered $1400 because I'm on limited budget as of now, he says, "when you want to pick it up?".
SB will post pics for me. I'll get more hopefully soon.
Tell me what you think based on what you see
Foxx4Beaver:
$1400 is a reasonable price providing it does really run ok, shifts through all the gears as it should, and it's all there, with no real major damage...i.e., cracked cases or bent frame.
lookin forward to seeing the pics.
dirk_411:
Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Fox, answer me this. What year K5 motors will directly swap into the 1994 chassis?
Plan is get this bike cause it appears to be a decent deal. Down the road I may use this engine in my Kx500 tecate. I may find just an engine at some point, if I don't I will use this bikes engine. I would keep the chassis and put another engine in it or sell/part out bike, undetermined.

I know 89-04 is a direct swap...I haven't had the chance to play with an '88 motor yet, but I'm guessing it would swap right over as well....worst case, the swing arm shaft/axle could be a different size...or the head stay might need to be modified...I'm sure someone can answer that.
One of my best friends has an '88 motor I've been thinkin about grabbing...still debating.

I won't use any older than 90's
