Message: [QUOTE="nephron, post: 779158, member: 23759"] My ass was kicking up on jump faces once, and it turns out I just had shock rebound set too high. 2 clicks to the left and I was flyin', baby! Mine is a highly modified 2002 KX500. A lot of bells and whistles, plus a 4.7g Ty Davis (ZipTy--rides Yamaha now, but makes KX500 parts as he used to ride one and considers it the best desert bike. And of course, it is. :) ) The fuel hangs really low and reduces center of gravity. You should also know that the KX500 hasn't changed MUCH since 88. So anything back to them would be okay. And yeah, it'll leave a stock 250 standing still, while digging a trench the whole way. You should understand that Jeff Ward (although now not a big fan of the 500) used to not only race MX on one without issue, but even SX at the tail end of open SX. He's probably 5'3" and 135 wet. :yikes: [/QUOTE]
