Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
First batch of parts just came in :)
sniper1:
I decided to freshen up a few things on the bike and customize it to my riding style and the first batch arrived with the next batch coming on monday :)
I'll get everythng installed tomorrow then if the rest shows up monday I'll have it all done by wednesday of next week then it's off to the suspension shop for $1,500 worth of suspension I love it when a plan comes together. The engine work and complete tear down with new powdercoating of the frame and freshening everything else will be the winter project.
In the picture the only things missing is the 3/4" low ceet foam and O-ring chain and steel sprockets boyeson covers right and left and avs clutch and brake levers motion pro cables which are all coming on monday I hope.
Here are the parts in the picture
gnarly pipe
gripper seat cover
twin air filter and oil
billet gas cap
IMS pro pegs
moose spacer
boyeson dual stage reeds
new boot for reeds (I don't care for the rad valve my old kx500 would get reed flutter at the dunes and when hot lost power plus without reed stops I would suck a reed from time to time) I decided to go with stock reed cage and just boyeson reeds but the boot had cracks in it from age so dry rot would be the correct term.
My modified 304 silencer that only sticks out 2" past the number plate so I think this will look great with the 250 rear fender on there.
500 piece nut/bolt/washer kit
fmf pipe springs with seals
Rooster452:
Have fun!

Thanks rooster and it was tough not to go for my suspension work first but that would mean missing out on a couple weeks of riding right now when it's all brand new so I will wait until the new affect has shrunk down a bit :)
I'm thinking about that 4 crush washer deal still on the fence.

Do you have the stock Kawi pipe ? I am interested in buying it if it's in clean condition. I have an FMF that my bike came with and it's rusted and looks like $hit. Kawi OEM pipes have a super tough ceramic type coating.

I don't have the stock one bus, this is the one that came on my bike.
It's a pro circuit pipe.
