It sounds like it would be just fine the way it is for what you are using it for. I have a 2002 KX 500 and man I love that thing.
I think they can easily do anything you want even at stock; for instance they are good for drag racing to trail riding. They have so much low end and overall power that you shouldn't have to gear it down or get a flywheel weight or anything to trail ride it. They have so much power you can let em idle in first gear and they can drive without stalling :)
I would recommend tightening all the bolts that are connected to the frame like every other ride or so though, since they are known for vibrating bolts free :)
