Definately throw some pics in your gallery that you think we might like :wink:
As far as Tech Tips/Advice... anything in writing/pictures is always beneficial to the tinkering KX owner :-)

Too pritty for the dirt Sly,and besides it annoys the hellout of sportsbike riders thinking they know how to corner when this thing comes up the inside of them sideways,then leaves them behind on the back wheel,the look on there faces when you have to stop at some point or they finally catch up is priceless!!!
hughes:
Dude that is one nasty looking bike, sick as f**k. :-D the ole 500's can never be to pretty for the dirt.

Wow, just when I thought it was me, I see this site, and realized I am not the only one with surging problems.
I just purchased an 02 KX500, that had only 25 hrs on it previously. I was experiencing surging on the deceleration, and so I put in larger jets 175 main / 62 pilot. It is better than before, but is still there. It is most prominent when I chop the throttle, and inversely less prominent when I ease off the throttle.
I have received many suggestions about air leaks, or such, but the bike hasn't been used much, and looks fine, nevertheless, at this point, I am not certain.
I am in Rochester NY, and the temperature has been mid 30's.
Thanks all
