muleman:
Well my daily bike is a 03 hayabusa with a 40 shot of nos. Best et is 8.9 1/4. I know that this kx is not going to be thay kinda bike. But I bought it so I can ride to the trails and have fun on the way there. I just sold a ape sxv450 and it was very fun but the maint sucks..

Don't get me wrong Kx500s are very fast stock and can be made stupid fast. Mine will spin the tire on asphalt in second just by stabing the throttle. You can grab third and burn it all the way down the street. I have had it in fifth gear before still burning the tire off. If you want to make your bike fast you came to the right place.

What on God's green earth have you done to your K5? Mine is one mean machine but I could not do anything of that nature. 1st off what are you riding on the front fender? In 3rd are you dropping the clutch? What kind of horsepower are you running? What are the cheapest, easiest power mods?
Yes, no matter the K5 is no match for the crotch rockets.

Give the motor to Stewart and then write back. I am sure you wont be disappointed. Although q16 would be pretty hard to find at the local gas station. I'm glad to see that you are not making the same mistakes I made and have the chance to get it done right the first go around. Good luck.

That's burnning it into third from second and never lifting. The tire is already greased up at that point. Doing burnouts like that are all or nothing. You hve to keep it spinning hard so it don't hook.
