KX500?

<< < (3/3)

MarkNZ:
I Can't say I've had a 490YZ or even ridden one , But I traded my WR500 on my new KX5'er back in 97. I said to people "Ive never ridden a KX500 but if it's got the equivalent Readies that the Big Yammy gave me , I'll be happy" I was wrong. The K-Vette is better on every Count.

Who else out there has owned a WR500 ??

Having both bikes, Ido know the difference, the yz is old school, super high compression,needs 108 octane gas. The kx developes power in a different way, so it can run on pump gas.  Hey, both bikes will kill you! Alan and I are members of the yz490 club, if you want to learn lots about trouble shooting, check it out.    Mike Kraft
