[@davebrunette6394]

That brings back memories! I used to ride 500's all the time in the 80's and 90's. I miss my KX 500! That thing was not made for trail riding, it was made for big fast motocross tracks where you can take full advantage of that power!

[@devildog_iii3492]

Bought an 89 500 when I was 14 for $150, and sold it for $350… still haunts me.

Good stuff here. You rode that thing with determination! That takes some grit man, good for you. Now get her restored and hang on to it!

[@outlawjoseywales6159]

My first bike was a YZ 80 in the 90's. Second bike was a KX 250. Third bike was a KX 500! The power those bikes have is incredible! They are a complete rush on long outdoor tracks! My friends called mine the widow maker.

No really. lol. I don’t miss them. They either ran great or like total crap. Constant problems. Always rough,idle the smoke was annoying,at best,unbearable at times. Two cycles only run good wide open. Don’t even get me going on getting them started and warmed up. All in all they were a pain in the axx.

[@tonygSDWR]

Dude, I dig how grassroots this video is. You went and bought a clapped-out beast, knew its' issues and rode it without complaints. I appreciate that you're going to restore/rebuild it to a better version of its' old self again. Look forward to seeing more of it 👍

[@logantomlinsonwiebe3619]

That’s the things if always loved is people buying or already owning a bike that maybe isn’t “up to code” and just getting out and riding it no matter the issues, fun is fun and as long as you having fun giver!!

[@decafbass8408]

Hell yea!! nice ridin king

[@zackk695]

You’re one bad dude! No gloves when working on a bike. That is super smart and let me tell you why. You don’t do that daily and after you worked on the bike you washed your hands. No chance of those chemicals doing any harm especially grease and gas. The other thing is you’re tall and in a few years you’ll have even more muscle so you will be an even better rider. I’m 6’3” and was 215 racing the 500’s but I didn’t like it only because it was a lot of work. My sponsor made me race them but I did so well because I was heavy and muscular and it made the bike stick. I still love to ride them though it’s been many years there’s nothing like it but I’m sure I could only handle maybe 5 laps these days

I bought a 1997 CR500 in 2008 for $1800 up in the mtns of Colorado. There was a snowstorm the night I bought it and test rode it. Lol I put a Service Honda Ignition and lighting coil in and plated it. Ended up making it full Supermoto because I didn't like it in the dirt, I prefer my 99 CR250 and XR400 for the dirt. I still have the 500, it is mint and just sits parked these days 😢

[@josephhamilton5185]

Great video, love the kx500 power and sound. One quick tip tho, removed your carb bowl o rings and gaskets before spraying carb cleaner all over. That stuff can really damage those seals and then you’ll be forced to buy a rebuild kit

[@alanmeyers3957]

[@kylelangworthy9641]

What a steel you got that for. Man, you get that thing jetted, perfect. I'll tell you what if you think It's fast now. I am willing to bet you that the way it's jetted. It's no faster than a 250 2 stroke. If that Fast. You get it jetted right man. It'll scare the bejitas out of u. I would also suggest some new reeds. And make sure everything is sealed good like all of your gaskets , especially around the carb and airboot. I would compression test it and if needed do a top end and check you're a crank clearance. While it's a part. If you're doing bottom end, I'd do the whole 9 yd.Crank seals and all send it to pro.Circuit if you can accord it

Tom morgan's A legend His engines are awesome. Years ago I had A98KX250I sent off to him.Had him do the full big boar three twenty seven. When I got it back.I was like.Oh my god did I go too far. It was easily as quick. As any stock kx or CR 500 I have Ridden Had the low bottom like five hundred but still wrapped like a two fiftyHad the low bottom like 500 but still rev like 250. With a mid-range hit that came on quick and never stopped To rev limit. Eyes water and s*** eaten grin every time I rode her.For as much as it's going for nowadays I would send it to pro circuit
