Finally got the 02 KX500
« on: May 07, 2011, 11:47:13 AM »
         Well it came today and it's a very clean low hours 02 K5 with baja enduro kit and rear fender mod with pipe and silencer it was well maintained and after some minor jetting and cleaning air cleaner new spark plug it's twist and go no hesitation and a nice chocolate milk color on the plug it's ready to start modifying.

         It has all new ufo plastic and works frame guards but the tank is a little off color due to new plastics so I'm going to fix that right quick with a new tank since I am picky about matching colors.

         I wanted a street legal k5 so I could rage down all the dirt roads here and not get a ticket for riding on the street because there is a tool down the road that does 100mph in front of my house everyday but he calls on dirtbikes and atvs but nothing can be done about him doing 100 the cops said no speed limit on these roads (that's how country it is where I live) so now when I rage in front of his house all day long braaaap braaaaap braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap he can't call the cops on me it's street legal and remember NO SPEED LIMIT.






The bike is extremely clean and was ridden by a 50 year old man (nice guy by the way) he was great to deal with and even delivered the bike to me not to mention did a great job on the baja enduro kit I found the perfect bike for me.

Just an old guy that enjoys going fast, I was in the army for 6 years and bought my first K5 when I returned from basic training. I raced a yz60 from age 6 to 8  a kx80 from 8 to 12  a kx125 from 12-17 intermediate class on k5 which I've owned 3.

        Thanks and that is what caught my eye after looking at about a dozen of them that looked great in pictures but like hell when I went to see them or when I asked for better pictures they were beat to death.

         I had found s couple that looked good but shipping was $700-$900 for anything on the west coast so it was the right bike.

         My whole area is dirt roads so having it street legal was just what the doctor ordered so I can drive it all over without worrying about the ticket in case someone calls in on me you never know.
