Whats the longest jump anyone has made on their KX500 KX250 KX125 other bikes ?
kiwikx500:
Id be lucky if it was 10 meters for me, just a niewbee at it lolol :-D How high and far is the K5 capable of going before every thing bottoms out,it would have to do more than robbie kinevils CR lol (i think thats what he has) Man can he ride,we just finished watching the series here in NZ where he goes thru out the US on his jumping missions,nice choppers too :-D (could you please list the model and size bike with your reply)
air:
I jump like 60-70 foot at the dunes and my bikes rear end bottoms out all the time, I have been getting in the habbit of grabbing alot of throttle and pulling up on the bars before I land. So the rear is taking quite a bit more shock then the front.
air:
oops just realized you said 500 Do I count? :P 250 man here
alan:
I think it's all good! :-D :-D
At my age I try to stay on the ground :cry: :cry:

Air, if you are having to land on your rear tire to keep it from bottoming out you need some suspension work. It doesn't cost much and will make a 200% difference in your landings. You should have a nice soft landing especially in the sand. I do doubles and tripples and have even landed pretty flat and still don't do much damage to my 250's suspension or my back. lol
My 500, I've landed pretty serious doubles with it, one being a 100ft double. But, I had a decent landing ramp. That is what is going to matter is your landings.
