 :evil: I saw it on ebay and I had to have it!  Hello to all members.  I haven't ridden a dirtbike in 15 years.  I had a couple of 125s a CR and an RM.  The last bike I had was a ZX10 in 92.  But now, I got a 2002 KX500!  It came with; BRP steering damper, Pro taper bars, Rad valve, FMF Gnarly, Race Tec Suspension and Cyrus bark busters plus some unused gear for $2700.  Over all the bike looks nice very clean. But, the back fender was cracked and sewn back together with zip ties and the bars feel a little narrow.  I couldn't wait until tomorrow for racing gas so I put some 92 in there and fired it up.  I kikt about 15 times until started to turn over.  Then I choked it and it started right up.  The temp here in Nebraska was about 34F and the elevation is 1000'.  It was a little boggy and wouldn't idle long with lots of smoke.  When I revved it a little it cleared up.  Mixed at 40:1.  I didn't run it very long because it was dark and I didn't want to make the neighbors angry so it never got warmed up.  The bike came from Florida, warm and sea level.  I'm a pilot, 37, and married with 2 kids.  I plan to do some trail riding nothing serious.  I'm a noob so any recommendations or advice is welcome.  Cool site!!
