Another inspiring upload, Zach Davis! If you ever want to optimize storytelling or create more engaging shorts, I’d love to help. Let me know!

You sound soft , whining about the vibrations .

Man what a great place to own a dirt bike. :)

Those things are CRAZY FAST! Once you get them out of 3rd gear its hard to slow them back down🤣🤣🤣

Gotta pay tribute to THE MAN: Danny Hamel doing 118 mph on his KX500. Great vid, thank you.

Rubber washers gets rid of the vibrations

Change the gearing and make it much more rideable

I got on the back of one these once….. once!

BRO THAT TRACK LOOKS PERFECR

When are you going to hit top speed. It had heaps left. No balls

In December 2024 is a 2019 yz 450f still good bike to buy might be going to look at one Sunday

Probably needs a new clutch

I have a 2023 ktm 300 xcw I can't even imagine riding a 500

All the power is made on the low end?!? WTF Did he never get on the pipe?!? What an idiot!!! 😂😅😂

This bike is all that and a bag of chips. You have to wear a helmet, just to look at it. THE BEAST

You really need to donate your Kx500 to a skilled rider!

Those fences and trees will cut you in half bro 👍

Back in the day, I used to ride Suzuki RM 125's & 250's and always wanted a "scary" 500cc bike but never got one. Now, I'm too old and crippled up and can only watch YT videos of others riding em'. Enjoy your youth while ya have it! 🤙

Schönes Video mach doch Spaß die 4 Takter mit 2 Takter abzuziehen geiles Video weiter so

Agreed... probably the best bike ever made. Still amazing without any changes.

Like i said much more noise in the future bump bump.

Loved my 1974 Honda CR125M 2 stroke motocross bike! Frikken AWESOME bike!

They don't like to turn. The load up and runaway. Happened to me once right outof MMI. Thankfully his kill switch worked.

Took my 87 KX500 to the drag strip once put a street tire on the back. First run did 11.5 109mph but got massive speed wobble as soon as I let off the throttle. 2nd run was slower the wobble was just as bad I quit after that pushed my luck far as I should. Odd thing I taken it on dry lake beds up to wide open in 5th gear likely went faster then 110 I think around 130-135 mph never got any wobble on the dry lake beds. It was ported and had larger carb in it. Mostly a Glamis machine I grew up in Southern California where we have lot of open desert to ride in Glamis was 3 hour drive.

Take it to Glamis nothing better then a big bore 2 stroke on the dunes with a paddle tire.

Turn the gas on dummy!

My YZ80E use to pull hard too😁 Loved that little beast😀

Bought one! Mines a 2020 kw 250f. I love it so far.

I used to have a 1985 Honda CR250,that bike scared the fuck right out of me,never been on a 500,can't imagine what that is like.

When ru gonna hold it pegged? If yerthat worried about someone pulling out then you got a death wish if u think u can haul it down from teminal cause someone pulled out in front of you kinda sketchy

Im baked and started to think i was playing atv offroad fury 2

4 stroke sounds really slow.

Adjust the idle on the bike up a little bit and see if you can find a suspension rebuild kit for it do us a favor and ring that bad boy out 🤙

Team Green

Good vibrations

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hows the feeling of this bike would you pick it over the honda?

I had that exact.Bike. My two friends had a CR500 and a YZ500 and we raced a few times on asphalt. I smoked them each time. All three bikes were stock with the exception of upgraded pipes.

You’ve got an excellent spot to ride. I wish I had an area like that.

The CR 500 is like a crazy girlfriend; fun to ride but will kill you at any minute.

The throttle has an automatic eject feature, twist it too hard and it gets away from you.

That bike has a such deep voice at slower speeds, almost sounds like a four stroke.

Incredible

OMFG U R a lucky boy Take care ❤ it my friend my favourite bike of all time,U probably don't care about my kmx 200,lol was gas shocks, no ignition no battery no lights , indicators wires, registration plate and bracket bit Standard exhast rips like mf ❤

definitely a mans bike that's for sure.

The sound is insane brother. Love it

My near death experience on this bike, around 1990: A new friend had the same bike, and i went to his place about a half hour north of me to ride his area that i had never been to. (RIP Danny Fairchild. Died last year). Se suited up, and were ripping on a 2-track through a slightly hilly and long field. Dan was in the lead on the left track, and I was on the right track, 5th gear, pretty much topped out. We came to a rising hill topped out, and i knew I should be on his track because i did not know what was on the other side. But the ground between the tracks was tall, and i did not want to cross it at that speed, so I took a chance on what was on the other side. OHHHHH NOOOOO! my side was all washed out from the rain. Probably years of rain. the Wash out was about 100 feet long, wider than the right track, and about 2 to 2.5 foot deep all the way down the damaged right track. I hit the brakes and shifted down into 4th, no way was I going to be able to stop. But there were thinner pieces of ground poking out of the sides of the ravine that the rain was washing around, like peninsulas , maybe 5 to 10 feet apart. I got back on the bike and pinned it. I skimmed over those peninsulas as if I were skimming whoops like Keith Bowen and the bike went straight as an arrow. If one of my wheels would have dropped between the peninsulas, I don't know if I would have survived that happening. Wheew! Doug in Michigan

For corners in the 2-stroke days, we used the clutch and gas a lot more. If we had traction, (any kind of softer dirt, but not mud of course, berm being the best but done on flat ground with less control aggression.), we would not roll around the corner like is done with the 4-stroke. We would enter the corner a gear high, braking with no clutch so you know what rpm you are at with practice (Your bogging rpm's sound right when you are rolling the turn), then pull the clutch in near the edge of engagement and pretty much pin the throttle while feeding the power out with the clutch (in that higher gear, saves you a shift down the next straight.). Kent Howerton invented the technique on his slow Husky around the mid 70's when the Jap bikes started getting faster., and "clutching it" was born. MXA did a good story on the new technique back then. The smaller bikes to 125cc used it the most aggressively (had less power). The 250's did it much of the time. The 500cc bikes were "rolled" through a corner more. There really was no "coasting" or rolling though most corners (especially 125cc and smaller). You either heard the gas off for braking, and on full for early acceleration. I say if you got that down well, you would lose maybe 10 seconds a lap on that bike, and the jumps become easier. You may even slow down for some of the jumps. This is true: On equal accelerating bikes and riders, if you come out of a corner going 1mph faster than the other guy, you will go 1mph faster down the next straight. Corner speed is still the biggest factor for winning, even if you are jumping everything on the track. Doug in Michigan

Water Cooled 500 = short shift unless you're a top pro

Mines weird, it's real jumpy and the gears are short but almost like it is missing power Has a popping sound all the time unless you're on the high top end of the gear not that nice whining sound like this has from bottom to top where it really pushes through Supposedly has new top end but I wonder if something wasn't done right
