My new 99' KX500
HammeredFlat4:
Hey guys I just picked up a clean 99' KX500, this will be my first 500. It hasnt been riden in a few years so I plan on going through everything and greasing the bearings and make sure all the bolts are tight but my question was is there any specific thing I should look for while going through the bike?

Yes, there is one very important thing that could be catastrophic if overlooked.......... How bad ass it looks and how you will look while doing 80+mph wheelies.
Sweet ride!!!

lol Thanks man. Another question I have is what oil ratio do most of you guys run? The PO told me he ran 50:1 but that seems a little lean to me, I was thinking 44:1 or 40:1?
alward25:
It varies with the oil. I run Amsoil Dominator @ 50:1 and sometimes Royal Purple at the same ratio. Stewart runs Bel-Ray and I think he told me 50:1 too.
Good Luck!!!!
