Welcome aboard, its a very good site for 500's. Kelowna is about an hour or so drive from me (kamloops) in beautiful British Columbia Canada.

Welcome to this site. I too raced the kx500 "back in the day". '86 was my first new k5. What kind of riding do you do now?

 I live 5 min away from a mountain range[POSTILL MTN] so lots of roads/trails to ride..i used to ride on a mx track exclusively with my friend who had a KX500 too  but the one here is closed down..[im 45yrs old now but still crazy and healthy to ride]Itested her out today with a clean filter and fresh gas-WHOA!!frikken WOW!! love the power but noticed it ran a lil funny...think they put on the GNARLY pipe without doing the jetting..i have the stock pipe as well  so i can run that one til i dial it in ..the streets are sorta icy so it added to the buzzz..that fellow from KAMLOOPS can tell me the jetting numbers cause my last bike [husky 510]was from there and was right on the money...so i will experiment and familiarize myself this week with the kx 500 and then i will clear a spot in the basement and strip her down and fix her up and stuff..this web site is great!!! now i dont have to spend hours on thumper talk LOL .. :roll:
