500 motor in quad??
3Razors:
Sooo many have tried this, its always a better idea than it turns out to be. Without a counterbalancer the quad frame will not let the KX500 do its thing harmonicaly. People seem to keep trying regardless though

I really like mine . I havent had it in the sand yet but I am sure it will do great When sitting and reving it it has a lot of vibes but they are not noticable when ridding it. eventually I will have Steward built me a crank and piston which should make it perfect.
Nothing else runs like a K5 they will eat a LT500 as far as putting one in a Lt500 they are so big and heavy its become a popular conversion to put the LT 500 engine into the Lt250 frame.
So in my opinion The Tecate is the perfect home for the K5.

It may seem like that for now, but go on just an average dune ride which will include a few passes up the hill and you will break/lose components. The balancing of the motor trick has been tried by many also in the past with poor results. I would only build one if it was for a dragstrip.

I want one in a new kx 450 quad. Now that would be one bad bike!
