Thanks hughes, Thats what I wanted to hear.

I got to say, when I first started the engine work on this build I knew relativly little about any of it. Thanks to this site I am learning quite a bit! I know that who is doing the engine is compitent to do it, but he does not eat, breath, and pass- KX500 like some of us do :-D. But that is o.k. for now. this is my first 500 build, and I hope it is not the last! so I am still very low on the learning curve.
I have been getting a lot of stuff situated, soon I will be on the final build up stage of this and I will be posting some very cool pics of this monster as it goes back together. I hope I can be testing/dialing it before the snow starts again next fall.
At least I got my beat up kdx220 to ride this summer! :roll: (can't get out of it's own way! :lol:)
I live in maine and I hate the cold :|.... I don't even own a snowmobile :?.... I belong in so. cal. :oops:....
:? really, what am I doing up here in the sticks :?
P.S. Got another foot of snow today :x :x :x I am thouroghly DONE with winter :x :x .... Anyone want to trade places? The bike comes with me though! :lol:

I will say rebuilding a Kx 500 motor the right way is one of the most pain in the ass motor to do, you have some many things you have to reserve engineer. I just hope for your pocket book your guy does a great job. Make sure he looks at all the issue these motors have.

Your getting me uncomfortable Kaw, I hope for my sake too this guy knows what he is doing, but It will prob. go back together mostly stock. i'm sure this guy isint about to do much reverse enginnering for me, he acts like he doesnt even grasp the concept of the kips mod. I have mentioned it twice with no interest shown on his part, soo... as far as anything else goes we will see how he does. uh-oh spagettio for me if he screws it up! :|

No worries Mate,
Kaw Rider has been in business and racing for quite some time, I'm sure his shop would love to have your business in the future. :wink: :-D
