Retro KX500 Supermoto Build... Ride and Details! (Big Bore 2 Stroke Sound!!)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I made a major overhaul to my KX500 Street Legal Supermoto, adding a {newer} refreshed 1993 engine, graphics, plastics, and more!!
Thank you for following along, and I hope you enjoy the Big Bore 2 stroke content!

literally my dream bike. youve made it. exactly with those parts. and PLEASE dont but the generic pointy new style rear fender into it. those 90s slightly curved fenders and curves are the best looking there are.

thats the most beautiful and comfy af looking supermoto ive ever seen!
This Vintage design with those colors is looking very beautiful. Such a awesome bike! :)
Had all sorts of bikes over the years but my next is defo Super Moto, still not sure if it will be 4 stroke or 2 stroke but both seam soooo much fun without going 100 + mph, thanks for taking the time to put up you videos dude. Subd.
That’s a sick build I’m gonna do one with my Rm125
Love it dude nice work 👌
How do you have only 1.9k subs. This is honestly some of the best super moto content I’ve ever seen.
That's got to be a beast to ride
Fantastic motor bike!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍
Loving the look! Im trying to build a teal and pink bike like the old cup design XD Great job
Looks banging as a supermoto
The plug fouling is from you putting around, 2 strokes are meant to be opened up

you should paint the tank green amd leave a stripe from top to bottom unpainted ao you see how much gas you got
U might be able to get that tank like Lamanated or somthing and get it painted
These bikes are fast and reliable They do eat stock clutch baskets and kickstarters but what open bike doesn't
Why so underrated?
You live in Columbus? That looked like the chief leatherlips monument. Small world.
what did you hone out your 500 too because this is my dream and i need to know🤝
Expensive but have you considered one of the "jetless" style carbs like a smartcarb or lectron? Might help clean up the mid and fouling plug issues. They do claim better fuel economy to. Edit: sorry just watched the end of the video and saw you mentioned a lectron. Love the builds eh, look forward to more
