Enduro gearbox for KX500
hughes:
Your best bet might be engine mods for more top end pull and over rev. What pipe are you running? Any engine mods at this time? What reeds or reed cage are you running? Carb mods? If you could make more power up top then maybe the taller gearing would be easier to pull through the deep sand. Alot of guy's here on this site have tons of engine mods for more top end power. Gowen a member on this site used the PVL ignition system for more top end and I think it came with a light flywheel.

Thats a very good idea about PVL ignition and a flyweel weight. I'm trying to hit 200km/u on the beach! :evil: Not that i can win the Redbull Knock Out, Marc de Reuver and Steve Ramon are riding also.
But it would be fun with the start to see a "nobody" on front, ant its me :-D :-D :-D
The engine is modified by a old factory tuner of Kawasaki, Rino Racing exhaust and Boyeson rad.
If you google Redbull Knock Out, you can see how heavy the track is
BTW Thanks for the tips!!!!!

200 KPH is knocking on 140MPH, I would be very surprised if a KX 500 could do that without being chucked off a cliff.

Found some photo's. That's are pretty cool looking race.
Dutch-K5 Fan:
It did 180 km/u very easely and the supermoto guys hit 220km/u if i'm correct. The beach is very smooth at the water line. It can be scary some times, but you must have fun in your life!!!
Last year I was even faster than a KTM SXS540 six speed and taler gearing at top speed. Its just magic to do that!!
