KX500 2 Stroke Supercross with Tyler Bowers - Dirt Bike Magazine 

why wouldn't you want to hear the beautiful sound of the bike instead of the music? nothing better than sound of 2 stroke

I was just about to write that same comment.

@mld what you got ?? A cz 380 ?? What years

I have an '04 in my shed 47 hours from new. I'm 57 and my knees tell me I shouldn't ride it again. Been a few years . My brain tells me I should drag it out and take it for a ride. My wife tells me I should grow up. I've always been told that ....

AMEN

Thank you for the positivity !

...and SX. ......and MX!

@Badass Busta Brown I know. Sorry, should have mentioned the AMA Pro circuit.....

@Badass Busta Brown do they have a 500 class at straight rhythm ? I understand he had an itch.

i can imagine it already, red bikes.. red bikes everywhere...

@@NewGamer101 But the green one has more hp :-)

Katoong Katoong....Brrrrr

100%

I mean it is glen Helen they have plenty of track

What kinda 2 stroke do u have

@@tysonthewolfe93 Husqvarna TE 300. Animal...

01 kx 250 splitfire pro circuit replica, happy new year everybody!!!

Some lazy assed 4T rider that thinks he's awesome because the BIKE thrown him 10 feet further than his weak abilities allow. You gotta EARN every foot with a 2T. Braaaap.

Most likely a lib, after all they are the reason for no two strokes.

That's not true at all don't know where you learned that from but ktm,Yamaha,husqvarna,Kawasaki all have 2019 model 2 strokes I'm sure there's more in missing but look then all up if you don't believe me

@@kristianrutman5208 KTM, Yamaha, Husqvarna have twostroke in 2019 yes, but Kawasaki? Did I miss somthing? 🤔

Is it a round slide Mikuni? I've got an '87 which I measured at a mere 38. So rare that even Mikuni can't provide info on it. Think they only made it for the '87 KX500 and sure has some odd/unusual features. An interesting post, and if it's the same carb just 2 mm bigger it would be good to look out for one if I ever port the thing. Wasn't aware they did a 40 mm. Ta v much Kevin Baker.

@@jonniebyford7747 yes

Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm they're the same except for size, one unusual feature is the plate that holds the cable in place inside the slide. Does yours have two tiny brass, bloody fiddly screws? If they're one and the same I'll do like I said and keep an eye out for a second hand one in good condition.

@@jonniebyford7747 been a while since I've had it apart also first year of back disk brake

​@@kevinbaker8102 Visually they look similar with silver frames (apart from the plastics and "KX500" printed in block letters on the seat on mine), is that the '87 came with a separate subframe. The suspension set up is obviously completely different. I found the following written about your '86: Second generation (1985-1986). In 1985, Kawasaki released their first liquid cooled iteration of the KX500. The bike, with its highly praised multi link suspension and newly designed power plant, is considered the first truly competitive 500cc Kawasaki, yet failed to win a National championship. In 1986 Kawasaki added the KIPS power valve system to the KX500 becoming the first power-valved production 500cc motocross bike. This feature along with improved performance in nearly all areas over the 1985 model allowed the 86 to win the Motocross Action Magazine 500 shootout. This was against the cartridge forked, liquid cooled, more powerful but harder to ride Honda CR500. We've both got great bikes mate, but sourcing parts for mine is very difficult. My main problem is that I'm living in Mexico, and nobody is prepared (understandably) to send parts here. Think I'm gonna have to wait until I get back to the UK to sort it out properly.....

threefiddyone you can clearly see he was in neutral the whole time

Yz WiLL lol! Right on brother!

the kx500 has the smoothest powerband of any 2 stroke i've ever tried

@@allthehandlesweretaken yes it does, but still not anything like a modern 450.

@@mxgryan a modern 450 is only half as fun to ride though, and only faster if you cant ride the 500 properly

Rob Trubiano , ok thanks , my story is I had a 98 kx and 2000 cr , kx faster out of a cnr, but cr was faster into a cnr , my kx taught me to lean a bike though a cnr with both feet on the pegs, wish I had the suspension upgraded back then, the ass end kicked me of a few times , most insane bike I had when I put a paddle tyre on it, high speed was stable , cr wasn’t
