Hello from Carson City Nevada!
Rd:
Welcome Martinfan30 I frequent the other forum you moderate and ride a XRR. I lurk here a lot and try to pickup info. These guys are the best resource for K5 info. I got a KX250 but need a 500. Hope you find a nice K5.

Welcome Martin,
I have an '85 628 Red Pig and a 2000 kx500, Had to let go of the '85 CR500 to pay for the kids 2nd semester at school. :cry:
( I'm Looking for a '89-'01 CR and BRP 650R but the wife doesn't know it :wink:)
But I digress...
Any way, Wait 'til you get a-hold of a KX. The CR hit harder than my Kx, but the KX is more fun to trail/singletrack.
The BRP's are just a different animal, don't have anything against them, but jumping on a big Ring-Ding is a blast.
Throttle control is probably the best advice I can give you swapping over from a thumper.
Don't Whack open the throttle until your in fourth 'til you see what she can do, she ain't no two-fiddy.

martinfan30:
Thanks for the advise fellas. The 650's are a different beast. I'll keep that in mind when I swing a leg over my new to me KX5. :evil:
martinfan30:
Well I got it! Its quick man.. Suspension is way better than anything I've ever ridden.
Friar-Tuck:
Congrats Martin :-D
I don't think you'll regret buying her. Should look pretty next to BRP.
Christmas Colors !
You might remove the rubber cover on the KIPS rod, You should be able to move it smoothly.
warm her up , roll the throttle to check for the arm to move with throttle/engine revs.
After you get to know each other and you get a little more intimate,
Have a look at the operation of the KIPS, pull the Pipe and take a peek through the exhaust,
pull the control rod out and Wiggle the Main exhaust "Flap" for play,
and of course, "While your at it", you might pull the carb & check the condition of the reeds.
Take Care,
Tuck\o/
