Welcome Rasmus.  I am new to 500's as well and so far all I have really discovered is that you need to make sure everything is tight after every ride and you will probably want to go through it, to a certain extent, and put blue thread locker on every bolt.  I only took off plastics and subframe when I bought mine.  Also, check the pipe mounts.  I have a 2000 and the pipe mount under the gas tank was broken when I bought it.  I was too anxious to ride it so I did'nt bother to get it fixed right away and it ended up breaking the lower mount off the pipe in just two play rides.  Good luck and have fun.

I can't place the exact year of your bike but from the blue forks I am pretty sure its a 91-93 model, it should have 43mm sliders.

Mine are both 90 models and have gold forks with 41mm sliders, I think (although I am not sure) that after your model they went to purple forks with 45mm sliders then silver (ish) forks with 48mm sliders after that.

Not sure what year they changed on the later bikes though.

Welcome onto the KX forums by the way.
Regards Scott.

I use one of my KXs on the road...




The other one is waiting for me to have enough time to do it up.
As for riding motocross? I don't and to be honest I figure if I practiced really hard and stuck in I might just achieve the status of fairly crap :-(

I just like hooning around on them thats all.
