[QUOTE="gwcrim, post: 477860, member: 35528"] Spent a few hours out on my new to me '90 KX500 today. First of all, it's a boring hill climb machine. I think my 73 yr old mom could climb hills on it! Too easy. OK, that's good. Second, it's geared too fast for riding w/my 6 yr old son & the seat height is too high. Those are easy fixes. Kicking that mutha over first thing in the day isn't so fun. I don't imagine there's an electric starter for these beasts. :whiner: The previous owner claimed he'd send me a Clymer manual for it, but until then A) is there a compression adjuster on the forks and B) what tools do you use to adjust the sag on the rear shock. And finally, it surges at low RPM and/or idle. I tried to search the archives for this item, but had no luck. I believe the top end has been rebuilt recently.... it's got *great* compression. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
