Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Parade Lap K5
BDI:
My Kx500 has done that with every carb in every state of tune with every different engine I have ever had in my bike since 1991. I think it's normal.
Hillclimb#42:
Yeah, I agree BDI. Same symptoms with second motor and second carb. good to know that it is a trait of the big kaw. I will either have to give it extra time to warm-up or start breaking the rules. Who needs grass in the parking area? Ruts are fun too!!!!!
kaw rider:
i run small pilot. I think stewart does to with his pwk.

The snocross sleds up here have a deal on the pipe that actually ignites the unburnt fuel in the pipe so it runs clean off the start line. You can hear them hitting the button and the sled sounds like a muted backfire out the pipe. Those are 440cc single pipe sleds. I don't know exactly how they work but I could ask a friend of mine who has one. Here is a video of some snocross sleds just before the start, you can hear them cleaning out the pipe...

Actually, there is a button on the sled that you hold down while on the start line. As you hold the button, you also hold the throttle wide open. The button affects the timing and won't allow the sled to rev enough to engage the clutches; the motor holds the rpm just before engagement, so when the button is realeased you have instant take off. :mrgreen: I have two sleds with this feature.
