Hi! My name is neckcrank...
ID KX500:
Sorry I need to leave comedy to the professionals
neckcrank:
Remember? That's what Pedro said next!
ID KX500:
Ok. Yeah I missed that,,,I couldn't hear your Pedro accent. By the way Preston is another good place to ride the KX, or sell plastic kitchenware.
neckcrank:
I forgot to mention this thing has a fresh big bore 88mm kit from Kustom Kraft and a RAD valve setup.
I'm a little concerned if he overheated the new motor though. After reading here I checked the coolant level which appeared full. But after a short test ride the top end seemed really hot. I noticed the hose from the head to the radiator was a piece of straight that was kinked pretty bad. After buying the OEM hose I drained the coolant and only measured less than a qt. and installed the new hose. I refilled and bled the air from the head and nearly doubled the amount going back in. I think I should check the compression. I've never done this before though. So I hope to learn how to do all of these tests for 2 strokes.

Have been to Hemmingway Butte? It is out before Murphy. There is some fun riding out there.

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.
