Авто/Мото
Growing up the best dirt bike rider around was a kid named Fat Mike. His dad got him a kx500 as a graduation gift, omfg bro the power. Fat Mike used to snatch that bike around like it was a 125, I asked if I could take it for a spin. Every gear the bike kept pulling, it's only dirt bike I've ever been actually afraid to open up. Just a monster of a bike. Great bike & great video bro
KX500 is good for wide open braaps, power wheelies (so much trq) when carb is adjusted, jetted good.. Keihin Air Striker gives smooth delivery & enough fuel. KX500 feels insane after riding KX80.. very fun bike too
Hahaha…..my buddy "Big Mike” Had one he bought new in 87’ and he could wring that bitch out like you say……like it was a 125……hahahaha.
He and I rode thousands of miles trail riding over abot a 5 year period.
@@robbyclark7657 something about us Rob's & friends named mike that can absolutely shred on a dirtbike 😅
My dad has an 87 CR500 and it shakes the whole house
That front fender looks so much better than the crap today.
Bikes were cool in 90s.. KX500 is LEGEND :)
This brings back memories. Had a 500 during the 90s, still riding an '18 300 XC today. Lived in SoCal at the time and used to ride and race my 500 out at Lucerne and Johnson Valley in District 37.
While it was not what one would call a nimble or remotely civilized bike, the 500 in 3rd gear was effective at climbing long gnarly hills out in the desert that tended to stop lesser bikes halfway up. 500cc two strokes are good when geared up and ridden in open terrain and thrive on having a big load put on them. When you put a big load on a 500 2T, deep into the throttle and on the pipe on a power sucking steep gnarly sand hill, steering with the rear cuz the front end is aloft, you commune with the Moto God because under those conditions something resembling full use of a 500's ridiculous power output is realized. The KX ruled the Western Dez racing scene during it's 90's heyday.
While ruling the Dez, the rider's vision is probably blurred a bit too, not just from speed, but from the engine's vibration. 500s also grunt at low RPM and are actually pretty good in slow going, unless ya stall them, then kicking them in a tricky spot sucks badly. I do love my modern 300's e-start. To be honest, the modern 450cc MX bikes are even more insane than the old 500s on the power front, their hook up and hard hitting "braap factor" and much higher revving pull are too much for us mortal riders.
Be that as it may, we love 500s as the smoking, vibrating loud two strokes are just so darn primal, and we love them for what they represent - 500s are a rolling moto finger flip In our current "PC" sanitized for our protection ass gasket world. I remember those 500 riding times fondly cuz I was young and dumb back then. I would love to take a spin for old time's sake but have no interest in ever owning a 500 again because I know exactly what that evil thing is 😂
Well said my man! Still ripping on my cr500 though.
The 1990 KX 500 I rode had excellent power characteristics! Handling was meager but rideable.
I like the handling.. look.. so sweet awesome 90s dirtbike, trq everywhere
Stable as a frieght train.
I've been a 2 stroke guy for 40+ year's and you gotta keep those things up on the rpms or fowl the plug.that thing is a beast to ride,sure wish I had one, nice vid.
usually plug last many hrs
Love the video. I had an '89.
Thanks
Love those bikes lots of power for days
2 stroke power & torque!!

Awesome power band will wheelie at will. You'll never run out of power..
Unique dirtbike ..lovely torque.. hard to get grip usually in dust
The Green Beast!!

Surprisingly 500 two strokes are torquey beasts.

Thanks for watching
@@ArmathuX what's not to like good looking fast amazing sound enjoy!!!
Super nice bike…….
90 Classic Kawi KX500
Not kawasaki related but i had a 1981 rm-125 and a 1981 rm-250 at the same time , For some reason the rm-125 would run circles around the 250 and it didnt have any problems , Good vid on your 500 its a beast !
I know what you mean :D
KX500 is good for trails, wide open area.. sweet sweet power delivery
Do people not remember how to warm up 2 strokes? Boy, that plug must have been caked?
I agree.. next time longer warm up
Braaaaap Kings!
Cool bike 500cc 2 stroke
Yes Kawis 500 2stroke beast!
Ai oot suomalainen :D meni tilaukseen
olen olen..
I miss my ‘86 kx500
I love my KX500
I love all of my 500s!
Need to get more...
In spain they are from 10.000 € wtf
I just sold my 99 KX500 a few months ago, I’m having some sellers remorse but the bike went to better place
How fast does this thing go with stock sprockets? A stock 2004 KX250 does about 115-120km/h 😎
Should be around 130-140km/h.. anyway its fast, rare & fun 2 stroke machine. My fav bike ever :))
@@ArmathuX Haha I believe you :D Stay safe and keep the videos comin!
@@eamh2002 sure, more vids coming
Most bikes are geared to do 60 - 70 in stock trim. Team Green's Baja prepped KX500s would cruise at 118 all day long with the likes of Larry Rossler or Danny Hammel at the controls.
What year is yours? I have a '97. Have you done the kickstarter upgrade?
System is normal 'kickstart but Vhm head is equipped with decompression button.. bike is 1990 💨💨
97 looks great too (stock)
why not modded too
No, they upgraded the kickstarter in '97- made it thicker to prevent breakage that apparently happened on enough earlier models to be of concern. As far as mods go, I have some clean-up porting, reeds and a FMF pipe. Will be getting a lot more goodies when its time to rebuild the crank.
Beast of a bike!!! 💯🔥💪🇺🇲 Just an FYI, that piston is bigger than a Chevy 5.3!!!
I have one used piston on the shelf.. indeed big 👌
When Kx125 vs kx250f? And maybe kx125 vs kx250 2t???
I dont know yet
After one ride almost every bolt falls out... 😁
sometimes few may drop.. but im lucky
Who needs a kdx 200. Kx500 be fun as shit off-road. I am six two my cr250 is to small plus that kx has 2stroke powa.
What yr model? I would like to test ride Kdx
Voisitko tehä videoo yzi 85
ei ole semmosta pyörää mulla
first
💨
hurja on tuo teho noissa
iso mörkö ja vääntää varsinki
@@ArmathuX ite en uskaltais
Sä oot se sama jätkä muuten kuka pisti mun tiktokkiin että en osaa keulia :D
That’s pinking so bad
running good with Air Striker 38mm
Genuine Keihin Carb
bro my dad have a 500cr and is a way faster than you bro don’t be scared 😭otherwise it’s useless to have a such a power full and pretty bike 😭
Blah blah, slow or fast.. im riding for fun.. this is best bike, most fun dirtbike ever. I would get some electric mod bike for faster but I like somehow KX500.. JUST AMAZING
check out my other videos.. different videos.. braaps, gopro.. all raw ..power wheelies 6 full braaps + cruising around
I have 2 different era CR500s and KX500. They are different, but each is "faster" in its own element. On a track, a CR will have an edge because it has geometry that lets it turn easily and leave the KX way behind. Offroad, the KX is more stable and has more top-end power, so it will run away and hide from the CR. And thanks to the power valve, the KX indeed does make more power than the CR. A 70hp KX doesnt need a while lot to hit that mark, and 80+ is a methanol-conversion kit away.
Junk
others treasure.. I love this Kawii
Kips Power
Disappointing, first half the plug was on the verge of fouling and the second was riding around doing little wheelies like I used to do when first learning how to ride, sweet bike but nothing impressive
My RUclips Channel is maybe 70% Coldstart Soundchecks + Braaps Videos.. KX500 itself is unique piece of dirtbike history. I do 'constanty same type videos.. atleast I make videos of my self/or my bikes or bros bike (riding too). Im proud of my Content. -ArmathuX
Ticking over wagging it's tail, ready to stretch its legs on a nice run like a loyal old dog.
YES, 'Sweet Beast' still runs!!
