KX500 TOP END REBUILD
mysnykkx500:
I think I will have Stewart do all my work from now on...My local shop has had my motor for over a month and they say they r still waiting to get the jug back from the machinest just the jug resleaving is 300$ plus 160$ for the stock piston kit I am really getting tired of waiting they charged me 100$ to take the motor apart and I do not know how much to put it back together I took them my swingarm and linkage for bearings (which I already had) and here it is a week later and still not done.. They said they broke two of my bearings and r waiting for a replacement set from Kawa. :x
stewart:

Stewart thanks for the windowed piston, KIPS bolt, and other mod suggestions. My KX500 has way more low end torque than stock. Rear wheel hookup on trails is key to a sweet ride. You the Man.
