Well got back from holidays finished the bike off( thought I was done ) everything went good ran it up putted around bit.Went out to the pits for a ride everything seemed good untill it seized lightly.I putted home took it apart seized lightly on the exhuast side normally thats caused by lack of lubrication or lean jetting/low octane fuel. The fuel I used was sitting in my garage while I was away 3 weeks.After I noticed the cap on my racecan was cracked,also put a inline fuel filter on when I blew through it was restricting the fuel flow so I guess I'm my own worst enemy??? Other than all that wonderfull stuff the bike seemed to handle good considering I have no idea what's in it for suspension just rebuilt the forks new glide bushings and seals.Got the cylinder back from the machine shop yesterday putting it back together tonight hopefully no more problems.I will take some pics tonight as I reassemble it.

Got it all back together after machining it ended up 511cc runs nice forgot how scary and fun a 500 can be. I think my bro described my old 500 best the perpetual motion machine.The AF 511 is so much nicer to ride compared to the old steely 5hund I will try post some pictures(from work) my home computer gives me grief every time I post pics.Also made a deal on a 2010 Kawi 250F roller for a KX 295 AF anyone have a Kx250 motor around for sale???
