KX500...anything close?

<< < (6/7) > >>

ajt:
Oh ya the CR 500 will run with the KX, but again it does not have as wide a powerband either.

FastKX500:
Yea your right, the power band is perfect, i was riding with my friend, and he has a rm 125..and he has to shift so fast..we went on the roads he was in 6th gear by the time i was just shifting into 3rd and i flew past him lol, poor guy...as for torque, I dont think there could be any more torque...I think i have too much torque...I cant get traction anywhere...if u could tubb out dirtbikes i would, lol I need a wider tire i guess  :?

ajt:
My 520 has the spread of power like the kx but not the same peak, I think if I could combine my modded 380 and 520 I would get a 500 except it would have a more modern chassis & suspension. :)

Twist-a-grip:
This bike to me is "the great altitude equalizer".  90% of my riding is between 8,000 and 11,000 feet.  I am guessing a 2% loss in power per 1000'.  That makes my 500 a 250.  I always admire you sea-level guys riding this bike with its full arsenal.  What stones you must have!

<-- Glamis, March 20 - 24, 2003 on my 2001 KX500. I Love the look on the faces of the youngsters when i bust a move :lol:
