Out of your KX500, even if it was at the exspense of mid to high ?  8-)

There are alot of tricks but gearing made a big change in my bike. I went to 14/49(I ride in the woods) and I don't need to clutch it to get it going. Reed spacer, good set of dual stage reeds, A pipe designed for that power output Pro Circuit Platuimn 2, Jetting, there is trick for the power valves to keep them from over closing. I did this and it seems to work. Do a seach here and you should fine it. Some other members will have some info for you.

gowen:
You can cut your silencer back a few inches and it will ruin the top-end. :'( Also, a flywheel weight seems to bring the power down.

2001KX5:
I'm running 14/51 gearing and man you can just lug it around like crazy in any gear. I haven't had an extended ride as of yet due to some stupid issues but I may have to go to a 49 tooth rear sprocket to get some more top end speed out.

My next mod will be a set of boyseen dual stage reeds and maybe a pipe, maybe not

Spider:
Like Alan says, a reed spacer is the best bang for the buck.
