Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
1991 kx500
atrain40:
i just recently bought a 1991 kx500 from the original owner. before i got it he completely went through the entire motor and it is really fresh. bike runs great and i live in the souther california and ride alot of dezert. i bought it as a practice bike because i use my 450x for racing ( i have always wanted a kx500 and have always had a kawi since i was 5 im 18 now). just wanting to know if i should keep an eye out for anything, since i havent had a 2stroke in awhile. my gearing is 15/49 and i am gonna change it to a 47 in the rear. and also there is oil leaking from countershaft sprocket when left leaning to that side. the owner said it has alway done it just tranny oil. i mixed it 36:1 my first ride and will probly go towards 38 or 40:1 next time. so are the really bulletproof and i would like to get an exhaust to bump up the topend any recomendations it has a procircuit on it right now. and what jetting do you recomend for dove springs and kennedy meadows area thanks. :-D
