Hillclimb#42:
 Welcome. I'm new also, and also just got a 97 kx 500. I bought the bike last spring, but raced it as a basket-case. Over the winter and with all of my spare change, I have really created a monster. Maybe Frankenstein, if you could see the back fender.
  I have ridden a 250 for years now, and am very used to the power and suspension. The 500, especially now, has some sweet ponies with the control you need.
 May I suggest a steering stabilizer? Mine had one on it when I bought it, and I didn't see the point. After forgetting to hook it back-up, I now see the the difference. Much more stable in the rough stuff. Later!

 Uh, guess I was speed reading or something and missed the Scott's dampner. Here's another tip, ride with a shortened silencer. I cut my FMF Powercore in half. Now, I tear up fenders instead of subframes and silencers!!!
