never seen anyone throw around a 500 like this guy

the fact you're basically throwing this thing around is awesome. ill be waiting for more.

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!

But yet it tractors up everything

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!

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.

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 😢

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

Awesome machine 😊

perfect amount of power

New sub here now! Better do this bike justice 🤞

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

Imagine hearing that thing behind you and getting passed by it, like Why tf is there a hornets nest in my helmet😳

geil, das macht scharf

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

If you think that KX-500 vibrates like crazy my old 83CR480 vibrated so bad that 2/3 the way through a moto the two end fingers on both hands would literally be pins & needlas tingling rendering you riding a beast that can and will hurt you at any given time with just 3 fingers on each hand ! My old 87CR-500 wasn't near as bad ! Do yourself a favor restore you KX-500 to still rideable condition and NEVER SELL IT like I did when I had to quit racing 🥺🤣

A well jetted 500 two stroke is easy to woods ride , so much low end , just dont rev them and be smooth on the throttle.

shyyyt i just got a 86 kdx that looks almost identical what state u ride in nice asssspots
