Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

first k5 very well used. need some advice

<< < (2/7) > >>

KXDINO:
I think this k5 needs a big birthday, do a full rebuild on it ,check every piece ,make sure it adjusted right ,none of this half do it stuff, it better in the long run , and you never have to worry about slow crf 250 keeping up to you as you give them a soil sandwich. :-D

cmotodad:
I attest the Cometic gaskets are working great.

if you can get a decent discount rate at your local Kawie dealer, you can replace everything in the motor, minus the engine cases, for about $6000...then you'll have the reliability, providing you're good with the general maintenance...this was the path I chose because I plan on keeping mine for many a year to come.

i don't really have that kind of cash sadly. do i want to use the thicker head gasket heard that helps with pump gas. also how the fuzz do you get pictures on here?

to some extent it'll make a difference, you'd be better off having the head re-shaped for the best improvement.

here's a link for posting pics....

you don't "have" to use PhotoBucket specifically...there's other photo hosts you can use too.
