Title: Newbie from AZ
Post by: country73 on January 28, 2008, 02:50:31 PM

I am a newbie to this site.  So far I have found  a lot of information on jetting my 2001 Kx500.  I currently have a surging issue and trying fix it.  I believe that I will be able to fix it with all the information i have Gathered.  I have owned my bike for about 1 1/2 years.  This is my frst bike that i have owned.  At first it was to much power but i am starting to get comfortable with it.  I have a IMS desert tank,  fmf pipe and exhast. I amlooking for some hand gaurds and dont know what brad to buy.  If you could help me out that would be great.

Welcome to the site.  I use Acerbis Rally Pro handguards.  They wrap from the inside of the bars to the end. A metal bar runs through the molded plastic making them almost bulletproof.  However, if you should crash and get your arm/wrist caught in them, they tend to mess up the general contour of your wrist.  I like them better than the open ended handguards as they are less likely to bust a lever when you fall.  Again, welcome.

Hey paul thanks for the track information.  I did not even know there was a track there.  I have not been to a track yet but i might give that one a try.
