This weekend at a Missouri State race Super Cross contender Jasson Hussey put my personal KX500AF throught the ringer. His KX450 was not back from being switched over to indoor mode and needed a ride. He picked my bike up Sat. night rode it 6 laps in practice Sunday morning. He pulled the holeshot by 3 bikes in the first moto and hung onto that for about 3 laps. After that he started slipping a few places every lap. When the dust cleared he ended up 7th.
After the moto he told me that the AF was just too hard to hold onto and way more than you need. It is great for the hole shot but it pulls your arms off.
Maybe I should have kept the engine stock and not have consulted with Stewart....NOT. Thanks again Stewart.
