Hi! My name is neckcrank...

neckcrank:
So I was surfin the web looking for KX500 info, the bike I always wanted, and found this place! This place made me want one even worse! I've been lurking for weeks. Then for some reason my wife gave me the green light to buy one. So here I am.

I ended up buying the first one I rode. I may have paid a little too much for a 93 ($1400) but the guy had everything to go with it and it was in really good shape. New parts all over it and a fresh motor with all of the reciepts, new boots, pants, jersey, helmet as well. Also two pro circuit pipes 1 & 2, stock and desert tank, skidplate, fat handlebars, barkers, two stands, tiedowns...

I have alot to learn about this bike. One thing I noticed was how little has changed on this bike and the afterlife since it they stopped making them. I hope this  means parts will be readily available for many years. I would like to see the aftermaket make fuel injection, and oil injection at the bearings... stuff like that. I want to see someone make a twin or a tripple out of the kx500 top end. Imagine a 1500cc fuel injected, tripple making over 200 horsepower!

ID KX500:
I need you to do my buying. That's a lot of stuff for 1400. Welcome. EFI on snowmachines is where bikes would have been. AMA should be overthrown.

Friar-Tuck:
 Hey NC,
 It sounds like you Stole that bike, Piccy's would verify that for sure... The Items that came with the bike as "Extras" are well in excess of the $1400.00 price tag!
    What kind of riding do you primarily enjoy and where on the planet do you reside...
Welcome to the best little site on the web!

I am in Boise. I am just getting back into riding after 25 years. I have a WR500 that is pretty fun as well. So far I've been taking my son to a place called little gem cycle park with him on his pw80. I just put together a 95 YZ80 I bought for $200 that was all in pieces. So he's getting used to that.

I just ride up and down the hillsides while keeping an eye on him. When he is better we will venture out more.

BTW I think I have an after market subframe on the KX. It has square tubing.

kaw rider:
good running 1000 twins run around 200-230hp and 1500cc tripples run around 300-315hp.
