KXDINO:
We have had the over size 270 mm disc on 2 of our kx a 500 and 1 250 they work great all the other kx s still have the std size, what a difference , finally Kawasaki saw the light and put it on 15 models , that's one less mod I have to do to them.

Thanks for the reference! He did a great job, and I feel like my bike was rebuilt by a celebrity. :-D
I need to get some hours on the bike to appreciate the rebuild and the freshness of the bike. It's been so long that it took me three or four sessions to start passing some guys on the vet track. lol I was definitely not tearing it up today!

I was thinking the same thing. Great move by Kawasaki, as the KTM's always win the brake part of the shootout. It should help.

Just posted up a YouTube vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrYrzB-NjP0
I think it's about broken in now, I have 1.8 hours on the hour meter.
The track is pretty fun, and pretty easy. It was a fun day. My son was having fun on the kid track in his KLX110. Good times.
I just wish the track wasn't so wet all the time. They do a good job of keeping the dust down, but it seems like it never evaporates. I'm always worried that the bike is going to hit the meat of the powerband off the face of a jump and go sideways. lol Still getting used to riding this beast. It's so much different from a 2011 YZ450 that I had a few years ago. Those things can make you lazy. Riding the 500 is a blast, and it's amazing how fast they respond to a little feather of the clutch. There's so much torque in these things.

Were did you buy all the stuff to upgrade your front brake? Were you able to get it all at one place or did you have to buy right from EBC and ride engineering?
