I think Im going to my friends house to get the welding done. Thats the only thing holding me up right now. Ive got a 5 week break in races, been racing enduros every weekend since march, so hopefully I can get the majority of it done.
junk man:
Hey good luck and hook us up some pic's
I used a lot of the 500 parts one of these parts is radiators they can be used but will add a lot of labor,its better to use 250's
Rode today, its getting hot and dry out in the Mojave desert. the stock jetting worked good.After riding the 125 the 500 is stiff i have all the adjustments out 15 and 16 clicks I'm thinking about putting back stock fork springs and using a 250 shock spring

junk man:
update the rear shock i used i got off eBay the guy said it was in good condition well it was beat. the guy gave me a refund and let me keep it.
Well i put a seal and new oil and gave it a try, hard to adjust and it still leaked.
two weeks ago i pulled the shaft assembly out of my 500 shock and disassembled the 250 shock.
the 250 and 500 bodes have the same bore size and the shaft assembles are the same length,so i installed the 500 shaft assembly in a 2001 250 body.
the 500 shock was re valved by Scotts performance products so I"m happy to be able to use it. road it up and down my dirt road i think with some fine tuning it will be right on
for all you guys building these things keep up the good work JM
