well i was ridin my 91 kx500 at greenridge today and i was rippin arse up a hill and crash, bang, boom. Went from twenty to nothin in like 5 ft. I broke the hub on the rear rim on the sprocket side in half. Completely in two. Whats the fix for this gonna be?

cyclepsych0:
The K5's went to a newer hub in, I believe, '97. Yours has 1 bearing on each side and the newer versions had 2 bearings on the sprocket side. I would either get a newer version OEM hub or a Talon brand hub. Bearing and/or hub failures on the earlier 500's weren't too uncommon from what I understand. :-o

well id like to go aftermarket as long as it isnt crazy expensive. I want to go with a all black wheels with kawi green spokes also. The bike is gettin torn apart this winter and the frame is gettin powder coated black and the plastics will be new kawi green with a kx250 fender. So w/e goes with my color scheme

95formula847:
the only place i can find the talon hub for my bike is talons website. i tried looking up talons part number on google and got no results. Where can i buy it from?

cbxracer30:
you can also use a kx250 rear wheel they are the same, you may be able to find one on Ebay. CBX
