White KX-500 Automatic Blaster

(1/5) > >>

Kawadougie:
I just downloaded five photos of my white wonder to the photp gallery.  Notice the Clarke gas tank.  It eliminates the shrouds and holds 3.5 gallons.  The fenders are good old Acerbis.  The bike has the following mods:
1. Cylinder milled (lowered) and ported for bottom end power. (Eric Gorr)
2. Head was relieved to keep compression stock.
3. Wiseco piston.
4. FMF Gnarly pipe and ISDE silencer/spark arrestor.
5. Moto Tassinari reed block.
6. Moose intake spacer.
7. EMF Automatic clutch
8. Race Tech suspension (both ends)
9. Main jet: 165 - Pilot jet: 43  Needle in second groove
10. Redline synthetic oil at 40:1 with pump premium fuel.

I used to run a Steahly flywheel but I found that the auto clutch works better without it.  This bike rips in the woods.  I spent a lot of time getting the jetting just right.  I ride a lot of trails and spend a lot of time from 1/8 to 1/2 throttle.  I found the stock pilot jet way too rich and it would puke lots of spooge out ot the silencer.  Now the pipe is clean and I just did a top end inspection and didn't even have to clean the power valve.  The motor work done by Eric Gorr was awesome for only $185.00.  The motor hits hard off the bottom and hasn't lost any of the top end power as far as I can tell.   :D

machine:
The bike looks great!
I've never seen an all white KX500 B 4!!!!

Arigato:
That looks really good!  How do you post pictures in the gallery?

ebers17:
They looks really great! It definently stands out!

Kawadougie:
Posting in the Gallery is rather strange.  It still won't allow me to change the name from "Untitled" to something else.  Basicially you select "new nested album" at the top when you log in and then you select "Download photos" and select them from your computer.  Try to make them smaller by reducing the size to 640 x 480 and reducing the colors to 256 because there is a size limit.
