KX500AF
AJ:
yes ,,
thats how they wil be sourced most likely..
I've been working with Kaw for awhile on this actuially, and lurking around here a year or so..;)
Ramski:
AJ, the work you do on the 500AFs is first class. I think what impresses me and most people is the fact that it doesn't look monster garage built. They look like they came right off the Honda (and soon Kawi) assembly line. VERY impressive! Thanks again AJ for sharing your newest creation. :wink:
Now is there any way to coerce some pro riders onto one of these bikes? It would be cool if the AMA opened up Motocross class to Open and have someone ride a 500 again. :roll:
edkx:
Any attempts at using the cr kickstarter?I love the shape of that one.
AJ:
Thanks--
abnd i've tried a few kickstarters..
the old KX 500 engine uses a very fine spline kickstarter output shaft--
most every manufactuer (including Kaw) switched to a much larger spline-
on any current decade ,making it a challenge to find a simple bolt on replacement.
it is a prototype--
and i'm still working on it though ,
and will keep looking into different ones ,,
or rebroching a more modern kickstater "knuckle" to fit the old *fine* spline..
or it's possible to make a new kickstart shaft and heat treat it properly.. with a corrected spline for a new style kick arm knuckle.
( i did exactly this for the ATV that i make SH TRX250R )
anyway it depends on what works out, and what is truly needed,
verses the added costs.. :wink:
