: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!!
