You drive one of those ORANGE bikes? I didn't know they made a 2 stroke 500 ?? :)

Just as well I'm not offended easily :-D I dont have a lot of time for the orange bikes. Good parts just chucked together. I have a Magura hydraulic clutch which makes life aboard the kx500 a dream. 1 finger application. Totally recomended! Pricey tho.

Yea, they START at $6,500 and go UP, AND here in New England they put you on a "list", and make you wait for one?????? I spent a day with a 400EXC with a hydraulic clutch, definately a way different feel until I got used to it. I like a lot of free play in my clutch cable, so moving to hydraulic took some mental clutch fingering timing adjustment, but like you commented, wow, I thought I was clutching an old XR80 !!
