You're welcome! Btw, I'm NOT the guy that put the jb weld around the drain bolt, it was like that when my buddy got it. Cylinder was replated by millennium, the bike looks like it's barely been ridden since it left my basement.

Now THIS is a badass bike.

Congrats on your latest addition, OP. The 500 2 stroke is of the most unique bikes of the past 30 years and the last generation KX500 was the best one ever made.

Cool
Careful. Those gnarly OG CZ shift levers can bend the shift shaft in a crash.

EVERYONE should ride one at some point. Though few should actually race one. Frigging gnarly.

BTW, best solution I came up with for the notorious chain-gouging-subframe issue was to take
a small piece of plastic about 1" high and 3" long and screw it into the out side edge of the swingarm chain slider.
Looked like it would not work but it worked great. Gotta picture around here somewhere.....
