""I'm running a 50/50 mix of Napa coolant and water.""

Try running distilled water  {no coolant} 
too much coolant could cause overheating {depending on type as is thicker and flow is slower}

Your crank seal {air leak} could be leaking if  your crank is running rough

After talking to the previous owner of the 500 I believe it has the stock jetting! Where should I go from the stock jetting? What bar inserts are your favorite Sandblaster?

sandblaster:
52 might be what came on the bike from the builder but it's not stock Kawasaki jetting.
Again I think you better look at a 55 or a 58 pilot, 168 Main, needle at the 3rd clip position and about 1.5 turns out on the air screw.

Bar inserts? I don't need no stinking bar inserts...
I don't even ride with gloves...  :-D

No idea.... Never rode with any inserts...
Balancing your crank makes a world of difference.

crooscroos:
Do you know anybody who can balance my crank well for a bargain price? I'm working on a college kid's budget ;)

PS. Only a true bad@ss rides a K5 without gloves  :mrgreen:
