How Much Is Enough?

(1/3) > >>

stock500:
I was just wondering about all the mods people do to the 500.  I am 6'5'' and about 275lbs and my stock 04 500 is plenty of bike.  I have been riding bikes my whole life (I am by no means a pro) but I can handle a bike pretty well.  Are you folks with modded 500's that power hungry or are the mods to make the bike more user friendly? :?

CR480R:
Sand saps alot of power... and alot of guys hillclimb race their 500's...

stewart:
power hungry

hillclimber147:
When you compete against (hillclimbing) GSXR 600's, CBR 600's, R6's...... on nitrous, you can never have enough power!

BDI:
When your rolling down the street in second gear and grab a hand full of throttle and start burning the tire then stab third and continue to burn the tire all the way down the street or you do a standing burnout and burn a bigger hole in the assphalt then your uncles Harley Buel. Who wouldn't want that It's great fun but I must admit I wouldn't want to ride my kx500 all day in the desert on a trail ride. It's more for taking big chunks of jell coat off of other peoples helmets from 200' away at the sand dunes. :evil:
