Just bought my first dirtbike iti is a 95 model KX 500 with a 540 big bore kit-Hydraulic Clutch- Complete 2005 Honda 450 front end-Ty Davis Tank and front Pipe-Gold excel rims etc...... I really like the bike and just now learning ride . I am 33 yrs old and have not rode in forever so its like starting all over again.

Qwuick Enuff,
Welcome to the forum, That sounds like quite a handful for getting back into riding!
Like I've told other new big bore riders, Throttle Control!! :-D

Welcome! Fun bike to ride. I will steal a quote from here "you either learn throttle control or you learn first aid" Wow, I waited until I was on my 9th bike and 42 yo before I finally bought my K5. What I especially noticed about going to the 500 from other bikes is how fast it accelerates. On switch backs I would come out of a corner and roll on the throttle just like I would on the less powerful bikes and I would be at the next corner much sooner than I wanted/expected and at a higher speed. Didn't take too long to adapt to that. B.O.

Yes the bike is a hand full ! The bike I have came from kaws off this board . I like it a lot and I am in the process of putting a 1992 rear fender on it and another 1992 front fender on it . I like the front better cause it is broader and like the rear cause it looks better to me. I will post pics when i get past post 10!! I put a new Maxxis IT rear tire on back 120/110/18 and man it grips. I guess i never new how much the old rear tire was forgiving. Anyone here do the 250 rear fender?
