Anyone use a 500 for H&H?

(1/1)

Ive done a bit of a search on here but nothing has sprung out a me but does/has anyone used there 500 for a 3-4 hr enduro? Just wondering about fatigue and fuel stops. I use a modern KTM and that hurts after a few hours  :evil:

I have done a couple of 6 hr and a 24hr and I can say it depends on the terrain.  They can be tiring to ride because of the stump pulling power.  However, anti-vibe bars like Fasst flex or twisted engineering help out a ton with anti-vibe bar ends make a huge difference.  A balanced crank is a great investment too.   Lots of seat time will also help you know how to manage the power.  I found using a higher gear an using the clutch less reduced fatigue on the left arm and hand.  I have a big fuel tank and could plan on 70 miles unless there was a lot of wide open running.  Every riding style results in a different mileage result.  Seat time will give you an idea.  Spend lots of time on a rowing machine and do about 10,000 push ups!   Good luck!!!

I raced mine a few times.... granted i'm not that good of a rider but I did take a 3rd place trophy once in the c class. The 500 does good on the more open trail races...
