Buzzard,

You haven't even given it two weeks !  How many rides could you possibly have on this thing ?  Mine scares the crap out of me but that's part of the fun of having it. I'm able to ride mine slow (although she doesn't like it much) without too much trouble.

If  you really have made up your mind....sorry to see you go.  At least you can say you gave it a try !  Take some pictures of you sitting on it to show the Grandchildren someday.

i feel like ive been used,violated,like someone has just broke into my place and rifled through all of my drawers,all of my expert opinions/help and advice that ive handed out has not seemed to of helped..?.ahh well seems that da kwaka 5hunghy has sorted out another rider,maybe you should go and buy a cr500 they have only got 50hp at best and maybe 65hp is a little to much,even though im 47 and 60kg and race my 2010 kx500afx in flat track(dirt track) i only use 50hp at best as the last 15hp is in warp range and it either wheelstands or washes out the back end,so its all about throttle control.imagine you just bought a 60s muscle car and told your mates im selling it cause when i drive it its scary..?.they would think your bananas,people with muscle cars just cruise around cause if they went flat out every where they would be dead or have no liscence,keep the rest of it in the bank(power)and just use it when the need arises..does that make any sense..?.madmick.

Buzzard, I guess it would be best to stop riding the k5 if you think you are in over your head with it.  Lord knows we don't need any more injuries.  Any bike can hurt you if it isn't given it's due respect - I think we all know this.  With me and the k5 it's all about throttle control.
