KX500 Assembly & First Start Up/Ride 😍

[@leadhead7338]

Team Green...Always!

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

Scared.....Waaaaaaaaaa...LOL I raced KXs and a 82 CR 480 for years back in the 80s fun bikes. Good build guy's!

[@MegaYogib]

I have been reviving a 93. It was left in a shed for like 20 years. New oil,gas, clean carb,and a plug.and it fired right up.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Good stuff

[@tomm2873]

"after riding it I was only medium scared" Love it! There are a few guys in Michigan that I see riding these things(KX500s) in tight single track, that takes so serious throttle control.

[@dirtbiketv1]

That is awesome!

[@jonathondavis170]

Can't believe I missed this...this is awesome!

[@leepercy7339]

Excellent job Jay. Thanks for keeping the KX 500 spirit alive...beautiful bike 😎

[@victoroneill4381]

You can tell he loves the bike. Thats one baddass 500 ...very very nice build.

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Keeping the big bore two stroke alive 👍. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you for sharing with us.

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks, will do!

[@robertwoods2505]

One of the best restorations I'd ever seen. Very clean!

[@stephendavis7707]

Great job the bike came out great the more people who save these old classics the better !! It's still hard for to hear lots of younger racers/pro's have never ridden a two stroke let alone the range of 500's which were the elite class back in the day ...

[@joeshawley1626]

Beautiful! Love the old bike builds! Almost done with an 85 CR250R myself..

[@dirtbiketv1]

That's cool!

[@markdaniels5891]

Very cool going to have to rebuild my team green kx500 that’s been sitting since the Vegas to Reno races! This really motivated me to get itr done!

[@dirtbiketv1]

Good luck!

[@codyjoseph44]

Awesome build! I think it would look even better with the original number plate and front fender!

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Thanks for sharing Got my 02 torn down and ready to go through

[@dirtbiketv1]

Good luck!

[@jojodirtbike]

that's amazing .. it started on the first kick .... 😄

[@marcusbarnes5929]

Great job... the updated front plate and front fender make it look alot more modern

[@dirtbiketv1]

Thanks!

[@greglawson3805]

Do you ever sell these bikes or are they the property of the magazine? My best friends dad had one when we were kids, the thing terrified me!

[@fritz3195]

I like the old school look 😁

[@chrisvozza6530]

[@dirtbiketv1]

Can't wait!

[@cr-fc5rb]

[@tonyhanson9235]

Your the best!

[@zrkn1]

Got me to laugh when you said "we don't want any throttle problems right" LOL Heck no we would definitely not want a throttle problem! BONSAI !!! LOL Oh, by the way, the big green machine looks mean.

[@Wilkesy259]

I had my 465cc 2-stroke get the throttle stuck wide open when i was 14 and no amoumt of brakes could stop it (ended up with the front wheel locked up skidding with the back wheel digging a trench till i bailed and let it run outve fuel in the carb laying on its side waiting for the motor to blow 😳😂😂)

[@dustin9035]

Needs a Camel Supercross decal on the shrowed

[@jonphotos8631]

[@TheCarlejoseph]

I love the KX 500 not a big fan of that front fender and number plate but nice bike .😎

[@johnfavre1987]

Awsome!!!

[@rztrzt]

That thing will vibrate your fillings out, the wife will love it though...

[@Thefailcycle]

That bike is running so lean. Holy shit damn that was crazy.

[@AngelRodriguez-eo7wp]

[@pentecost66]

I found my 2004 kx500 in Fairbanks Alaska back in 2012 it’s been a great bike I would never part with it.

[@Wilkesy259]

Gorgeous build but im not a fan of the front guard/plate combo (just a personal taste thing, still a beautiful build 👍)

[@backyardprojects8153]

Jay you an Clint Lund should get together he does some awesome builds you 2 should do a build off and compare the bikes with pro riders to test them also

[@dirtbiketv1]

Yes-- good dude for sure-

[@tomatoknuckles]

[@38possum]

Y'all ready to build my KX500 motor for me? Need to find someone to blast it clean like that.

[@PeteFreyPeteFro]

What silencer did you use?

[@dirtbiketv1]

We made one with FMF parts-- they dont sell one ---

[@PeteFreyPeteFro]

@@dirtbiketv1 Which parts did you use?

[@dirtbiketv1]

@@PeteFreyPeteFro -- from a few different bikes and did some cutting and welding- -not even sure as its been 6 months ago - bummer they dont make one

[@mrsandiegovlogs]

Bought everything for 10 sell for 30. Not bad

[@budyplayz4445]

Please put the stock front end on it😢

[@Mostviews111]

Why did you go through all that work and use an old crappy steel chassis?

[@DynastyJr]

No way those forks were only $300
