KX 500 faults and fixes thread
mikesmith:
I used expanding foam,works and its lighter than silicone.
gowen:
Did the expanding foam help?
mikesmith:
I didnt have any thing to compare it to,but yeah it helped mine.
KXcam22:
It was easy to build a sharkfin for the rear disk. Got some .375 scrap aluminum for free. Shaped it and drilled a few holes for appearance and got a friend to weld it to the rear brake caliper holder. Works great and cost zippo.
Zanx:
What? No mention of cracked exhaust bridges or rear brake levers rubbing the cases or sticking holes in them during road/dirt/bike interfaces?
I think the biggest fault has got to be the purple colour (yes I'm Englisher) scheme that Kawasaki cursed the bike with in the 90's. :D
Oh, I'm a friend of Demographic, you can blame him :D
I'm currently rebuilding from scratch, a 1995 KX500 Supermoto (tuned and making about 65hp ATM) got lots of goodies to go on it but need the frame and engine sorted first, got a rebuild post going on Allthingsmoto if anyone's interested.
Ta ta. :wink:
