Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Steel Frame Conversion (SFC)
92 500 conversion
Marco810:
The Dep has more of a mid and top pull with over rev, defiantly not as tractor like as the Gnarly. I noticed with this pipe its nearly impossible to ride wide open (any gear) on pavement, the front wheel pops up like nothing, Gnarly seemed a bit more tamed that way. And for the fork conversion holy cow, what a difference, just felt all around more stable at the front
ZETTNORCAL:
That DEP is for a CR500 right?
Marco810:
Correct. Didnt think they made kx5 pipes?
quickrip:
how does the dep compare to the stock pipe. I feel like the gnarly (im assuming youre referring to woods pipe) has nothing up top at all. Ive heard that the dep has a very broad power band and pulls hard all over. Do you feel this is accurate?

Sorry extremely delayed reply *was hibernating over winter*. Yeah i can agree with it having a smooth power output all over the rpm range
starting digging into the engine for the first time and so fare ive concluded i need a replate job and crank rebuild for sure. debating having it ported as well but cant make up my mind :?. Any suggestions and what should be looked over when rebuilding the k5 eninge, open to mod suggestions too
