Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
my first 500
jswatland:
Its a very low hour 2003, i bought it off a member here. I've been lurking on this site for a while and saw it in the classifieds. Guy is a great guy to deal with and is a wealth of knowledge. I've had a few dirtbikes but nothing like this. I took it for a little ride today and the power is amazing. Here's a couple pics of the bike and one of my shin. I can assure you it hurts much worse than it looks.

Friar-Tuck:
Welcome to the site J.S.,
The bike looks to be in great shape, sorry you got bit... I don't remember hitting my shin like that.
Once you get the personality of the bike down it should be three or four cold and one kick hot..
I do start the bike tied down in the truck to warm it up, usually. It makes it easier to stand on a bucket and jump down on that kicker. Un load and then warm she lights up realatively easy..
Glad to have you with us,
Tuck\o/

Is that a Rokon trailbreaker?
jswatland:
This one starts on the second kick cold, the hot start is what got me. I drove it to my neighbors and s**t the fuel off while i talked to him. Forgot to turn it back on when i left so it stalled out on the way home. I was on the side of a small hill and there was no way for me to comfortably start it. I like your idea of starting it tied down, i'll definitely give it a shot.
Toby, yes its a 69 rokon with the uber rare peanut tank. I decided to put it up for sale toafter i bought the 500 to keep the toys to fiance ratio happy. I love it and its a lot more sensible for me to have than the 500 but i'm at the age that if i didn't get the 500 soon i'd never get one.
