I prefer a mechanically sound, tatty looking bike any day. No one wants to steel your bike if it looks like s**t.

Yep, plastics are pretty cheap anyway, so don't worry about em too much as long as the tanks alright.

Cant wait, ive got a few scores to settle with anebreated fools claiming the 4-stroke is all dominating. :x  How do you guys find you run agianst the 450's in gravel or anywhere with very little traction? so far ive got a 04 crf and 04 yzf lined up for a run :oops:  :twisted:

Timbowe:
No probs! Well sorted KX is the way. Lowish tyre pressure and there will be no worries. 5 hundy stroker is the machine.

hughes:
Keep an eye on e-bay. I have seen alot of KX500 for sale on e-bay.

:D  Bought a 2002 kx500 yesterday. Got sick of waiting for a dedent one of the right price to come along, so i managed to get a loan.

So far has been running sweet, but i plan to re-jet it this weekend as the previouse owner has been running 25:1 fuel/oil ratio and i want about 40:1. I asume this means i will need leaner jetting, does anyone have an idea of how many sizes i may need to go down? Also he has retarded the ignition timing, so that will be set back to standard. It also has a non racing plug in it at the moment, should i change to a racing plug?
