Cr500 and kx500 starts very easily. They are super reliable bikes, the trick is having good jetting and priming the bike with a few light kicks through the stroke to top dead center, with one really good strong kick, they go on every time. Now if you don't know the correct way to start a big bore, you can be there kicking it all day until it starts.

I wish I had a 500cc 2-stroke, I started riding motorcycle at age 6. Currently I just own a modded Yamaha raptor 770cc with plus 3mm intake valves and plus 2mm exhaust valves, 11:1 compression. Full Hinson clutch, efi controller, freed up the exhaust and intake, stage 3 cam. At 75mph in 4th gear I can pull it up, then shift in 5th and it's stupid fast. I got it geared tall up front and installed the smallest rear sprocket I could find out back. 23 inch tires up front and 22 inch tall rear. I do mostly trail riding with it, plus 5mm stroker crank, 105.5mm piston. I enjoy riding a great deal, I may build a can am defender 6x6 with cab and powered dump box next to make a swamp monster out of it.

The two stroke wins every time with the right rider. It’s the reality of the mechanics of the engine. Every 2 revolutions includes one detonation versus every 4 revolutions on the four stroke. Plus the 2 stroke it’s lighter without a valve train. 4 stroke is going to have more torque. So if dirt bikes pulled trailers with heavy weight? 4 stroke does better. Reliability? 4 stroke. Easy and cheap to work on? 2 stroke. Trade offs all around.

To start Kx 500 cold=Choke it and Lean bike on its side until gas comes out of carb overflow. Then start it. To keep it cool especially at trail stops while it is running for the antifreeze coolant does NOT burp/leak out of the radiator overflow tube=Use a product called "water wetter" It really does work and keeps the antifreeze cooler. Also take off in second gear with a good tread rear tire and gas the throttle a few seconds before take off to clean the bike out,and have the rpms up a bit right at takeoff. I rode a KX 500 for a few years.The original kickstarts do break and they did sell an upgraded beefier kickstart. These 500's vibrates more,stops slower than a 250-2 stroke or a modern 450,does not handle as easily and takes an experienced rider to handle these 500 beasts-But the power is incredible.

There's only so much you can do with a two stroke to make more power and they've already done it.

My bike was better for trails, and that's where I would smoke him, but he would smoke me on the street. I saw a yz250f beat a yz450f, and it's all because the gearing and simple changes that you can do to the bike to make it faster with less torque, or slower but with alot of torque. That cr125r that I had would holeshot like a jet but once it got up to speed it wasn't going over 50mph and my buddy's yz125 would do 70-80 with no problem.

I've owned some fast cr 500 but they have no power valve and Rev out at like 7000 rpm. The will eat a 450 off the line but get walked on the big end by the 450s every time. Do to lack of rpm. The kx has a power valve an can keep making power higher. Although it's chasis sucks

Cr500 and kx500 starts very easily. They are super reliable bikes, the trick is having good jetting and priming the bike with a few light kicks through the stroke to top dead center, with one really good strong kick, they go on every time. Now if you don't know the correct way to start a big bore, you can be there kicking it all day until it starts.

I wish I had a 500cc 2-stroke, I started riding motorcycle at age 6. Currently I just own a modded Yamaha raptor 770cc with plus 3mm intake valves and plus 2mm exhaust valves, 11:1 compression. Full Hinson clutch, efi controller, freed up the exhaust and intake, stage 3 cam. At 75mph in 4th gear I can pull it up, then shift in 5th and it's stupid fast. I got it geared tall up front and installed the smallest rear sprocket I could find out back. 23 inch tires up front and 22 inch tall rear. I do mostly trail riding with it, plus 5mm stroker crank, 105.5mm piston. I enjoy riding a great deal, I may build a can am defender 6x6 with cab and powered dump box next to make a swamp monster out of it.
looked like fun guys
The two stroke wins every time with the right rider. It’s the reality of the mechanics of the engine. Every 2 revolutions includes one detonation versus every 4 revolutions on the four stroke. Plus the 2 stroke it’s lighter without a valve train. 4 stroke is going to have more torque. So if dirt bikes pulled trailers with heavy weight? 4 stroke does better. Reliability? 4 stroke. Easy and cheap to work on? 2 stroke. Trade offs all around.

To start Kx 500 cold=Choke it and Lean bike on its side until gas comes out of carb overflow. Then start it. To keep it cool especially at trail stops while it is running for the antifreeze coolant does NOT burp/leak out of the radiator overflow tube=Use a product called "water wetter" It really does work and keeps the antifreeze cooler. Also take off in second gear with a good tread rear tire and gas the throttle a few seconds before take off to clean the bike out,and have the rpms up a bit right at takeoff. I rode a KX 500 for a few years.The original kickstarts do break and they did sell an upgraded beefier kickstart. These 500's vibrates more,stops slower than a 250-2 stroke or a modern 450,does not handle as easily and takes an experienced rider to handle these 500 beasts-But the power is incredible.

@@trevorpeck1877 Why not 1000cc engines? Maybe run it on methanol. No wait, nitromethane! I'm not saying 2 strokes suck, I'm saying there are physical limitations to the way they function which have been reached long ago. I own a CR500AF, a YZ490 and a CR250.

On the two stroke leave the throttle wide open when shifting. Grab some clutch and click the gear.

Exactly
More kx 500 YES!
I went from a badass 07 crf 450R to a 05 YZ250 2-stroke and damn it was so much less powerful but I'd like a 500 two-stroke
Start in second gear if the line Dump that clutch and GO
what year is the 500? it looks old school
I had cr125r, and my buddy had a yz125, and his yz was faster than my cr. The reason is the gearing. My bike was better for trails, and that's where I would smoke him, but he would smoke me on the street. I saw a yz250f beat a yz450f, and it's all because the gearing and simple changes that you can do to the bike to make it faster with less torque, or slower but with alot of torque. That cr125r that I had would holeshot like a jet but once it got up to speed it wasn't going over 50mph and my buddy's yz125 would do 70-80 with no problem.
I wanna see the crf450r vs the kx500
Had a kx 500. At 250lbs it took everything I had to kick start it . Broke my uncles leg when it kicked back . That was an easy start on the 500 . Needs rebuilding?
he let up on that 450 he knew it was gonna catch em🤣🤣
Two stroke power, I have a DT200R, power valve pinned fully open, race exhaust , it's amazing how many road bikes I can beat up to about 65mph,only then will they overtake
I saw a video of a cr500 vs a ktm 450 sxf tapped wide on the beach and the 450 was like a bike length ahead of the 500. I think the 450 was a factory edition or something tho didn't necessarily look stock the 500 looked stock for the most part but never really know.

That was a Paris-Dakar desert bike with taller gearing and a special wide-ratio gearbox. The 500 simply ran out of gear to pull. Tean Green's Baja 500 bikes were geared to do 118 all day long.
I love both of em/ what year is that 500?

Ya I've only ridden a race moded kx 500 with a fully built engine. It was fast maybe the fastest dirt bike I've ridde. Next to a 82 yz 490 with 500 kit. I've owned some fast cr 500 but they have no power valve and Rev out at like 7000 rpm. The will eat a 450 off the line but get walked on the big end by the 450s every time. Do to lack of rpm. The kx has a power valve an can keep making power higher. Although it's chasis sucks

Peak figures for the 2021 Kawasaki KX450 are 52.4 hp at 9,600 rpm and 32.6 Make ModelKawasaki KX500 Max Torque65,7 Nm 48.4 lb-ft / @ 6000 rpm Quote from dirtbike magazine In stock trim the KX500 makes in the realm of 63 horsepower and has 40-plus foot-pounds of torque. It is a lighter bike than the new-aged 250Fs and more powerful than all of the 2017 450 four-strokes. Sounds good on paper, doesn’t it?
What year is the 500
It's so simple put the hole on first when cold turn on the fuel next kick till it starts leave choke on for 30 seconds after that shut of choke and go you need the choke on first or it will be hard to start

4 stroke is a more predictable and controllable power so ya easier to race a track faster but just drag race or raw power 2stroke wins cc to cc comparison.
I have been a racer and I’m 60 years old. I lost interest in racing when POLITICS forced 2 strokes out, especially when it comes to Road Racing. Racing is supposed to consist of the Most Radical Machine & Rider. Period. NOT electronic “rider aids” etc. With Fuel Injection Suter & Ronan both have built 2 stroke 500cc Bikes that don’t smoke and handle/stop just as well as any bike in MotoGP so WTF! Oh yeah, POLITICS and SoyBoys. Love the KX500 man, keep it going.
