Sorry Polar, didn't want to say you were wrong. ( I can't find the word)

There isn't much to see about a kx500sr, so everything is welcome.

Anyone notice the sweet clutch cover is 2 piece like the 250s are? I need more tools so I can make crap like that.

I believe that pictured two piece KX500/ 250 clone clutch cover is a TRUE factory only unobtanium component. I'm sure all the compenents are ultra high quality magnesium as well. Handmade swingarm too !
