(1/1)

Timbowe:
Gidday. Timbowe from N.Z. Got hold of a 92 kx500 a month or so ago 4 the beach. Got 120 km,s of good changing coastline 2 km,s from home. Five hundy is THE machine! thinking 'bout dumping pro circut and replacing with Gnarly and matching silencer. Veforce or boyesen induction as well. Fitted N Style gripper/ graff kit. Also got 04 kdx 200 for alpine rides. Had rainy summer here. Bit greasy yet to take 500 up in to mounts. Cheers blokes. Goodsite.

mikesmith:
Welcome!I think Id leave the pipe and just get the V-Force.A KDX is fun,but dont let the 500 intimidate you in the woods,I love riding my 500 in the rain on some single track!

Timbowe:
Pro circut getting a bit tatty and looking like it is past its use by date. I like nice shiney nickel FMF look. Match kdx. Happy as pig in sh\t  with gnarly on 200. V force or boyesen though?

KXcam22:
Timbowe,
  Welcome to the site. I also have the '92 since new and it has been a great and reliable machine.  A few minor setups like jetting, front springs and tires and it has turned into a formidible woods weapon, putting fear into the hearts of all the orange & red riders far and wide. Seriously, welcome! Lot of great people here and lots of great ideas and info. Cam

Timbowe:
Y Thank you!  mine runs sweet as a nut. last owner spent big coin on the engine/gear box. total reco. Progressive springs added as well. Sound bike but well used looking. Gonna tidy it up. Paint frame ect.. Grafix kit on new plastics {that came with it] and gripper seat have all ready gone a long way. Really keen on getting back to sealed track on it. Doing the motard thing. Raced 92 ducati S/L for a few seasons down here. 5 hundy would be primo on the circut. quite a few quid 2 set up 4 17 inch tho.                                                                                                                                    Yes impressive site with heaps of good info Cheers Cam!
