92 K5 Race Bike: Any last minute advise?

<< < (2/2)

SteelHorse751:
 Great advise!

 That is what I needed.

 And thanks for telling me look at it in an objective and calm manor. I was getting pretty stoked about it.

  I know a former race bike can go either way (well taken care of or thrashed) and armed with the informtion you have provided and what has been posted before on other threads, I will have a pretty good idea of yea or na.

 Thanks again and I'll let you know how it went.

Have no worries about a KX500 that was claimed to be MX'd (especially a KX500 that was MX'd by a vet club racer) . Trust me there is no man on this planet that could put a hard beating on a KX500 out on the MX track.  The last guy that came close was Wardy.... lol

 Thanks for the encouragement Polar-Bus!

 I know I won't be able to push it like Wardy, but it is still good to know that the "potential" is in the bike.

 Especially with some suspension work! AND...Alot of gym work!!!!!!

SteelHorse751:
 One of the good things I found out last night was the guy lives out in the country, so I will be able to run it through the gears and see if I notice any problems with the power or driv train.

 Should be good to go, but I'll make sure I do a good check on things before I make it official.
