Don't sweat it KXfb. BDI likes to flex his forum skills from time to time.
It really depends on how you want to ride the bike. Track, desert, sand, hills, trails/mountains, or just all around. A 500 is alot of bike for just cruising around and is usually riden or built by more experienced riders that are tryin to fill a niche to its fullest.
A general question as vague as yours will always tend to have the thread go off in different directions, so keep your inquiries focused to get the answer you may be looking for. :-D :wink:
On a side note: the CR5 has "WAY BETTER" fit and finish than a KX5. More refined with better quality control and design to its parts/manufacturing.

Oh this thread is entertaining :-D
Keep in mind that jetting has a lot to do with the power delivery. If you're boggy rich through the midrange, and crisp and lean up on top, its really going to launch when you get to the band.
Especially if you don't have a powervave :wink:
Jetting could make all the difference between a :lol: rideable :lol: cr500 and a backflipping widowmaker

BDI, cool it. I didn't start this place so people could come along and talk like sailors. It's my understanding David asked you once before to knock it off, I'm not going to ask you. I'm going to tell you to settle down and get your head on straight. I built this place with the simple idea of accumulating the highest level of knowledge and the best members around - that includes children and those with no interest in reading your cussing.
Last warning, step out of line again and kiss your access good-bye.
To everyone else, keep this thread civil or I'll close it - this type of thing can easily become a 'religious debate'.

Don, your aluminum frame KX is to die for. Very very very very nice.

Thanks, I wasn't going to do it but all the pieces kinda fell into place so I couldn't resist. It was fun building but now that it's done I'm wondering whats next. I'm thinking maybe an Aluminum 250 2t, guess I'll have to wait and see.
