How to ride a 500
b4himdude:
i like the lower gears and upper revs myself. its nice to have the lift you need too power over something you werent expecting in your face all of a sudden. only thing i recommend is before every ride check all the bolts that hold your seat your number plates your exhaust pipe your silencer your rear brake master cylinder your kick starter your rear brake pedal your fenders your radiator halves to make sure that they are there for 1 and tight. dont hesitate to get yourself a bottle of loctite. some extra hardware. expect due to the nature of the bike to have to modify the exhaust mount vibration isolators. expect the mounting tabs on your exhaust pipe to weaken and break off. both my fmf and my pro circuit pipes needed mounting tabs welded back on. the thing about this bike is if it cant rattle the bolt thats holding something on out. then it will break the piece that bolt is holding on eventually,. just stay on top of keeping it tight.

The one thing I can add about this beast is that you must use your legs to squeeze the tank. You will be done in 20 mins and your bike back on the truck if you don't. Vibration is too much for this bike so I use oversized Thick gel hand grips.
Arm pump is gone. Practice crushing stones with your left hand you'll need it!
