Hey there im chris, I just bought me a 97 KX 500 this weekend. Just got a few questions on it. The rear shock is blown is that something i could fix myself or should i send it out? I'm around 210 to 215 pounds in gear, should the bike be resprung for my weight? I have no idea where these things are at stock thats why im asking. The bike needs some work, i need to put a new rear fender and silencer on it ( who would have thought you would go over backwards on a 500) but other than that shes in good shape. I cant wait to run this bike it feels like a powerhouse, i couldnt ride much because of the silencer or lack of one. Its a little too loud for me. And another thing i was wondering was if theres anybody here from south carolina. I'm new to this area, im in the marine corps, and i dont know about places to ride in south carolina near where im at
Thanks
Chris
