[QUOTE="cactusreid, post: 623911, member: 38527"] KX 500/bushbike setup!!! A buddy of mine did this combo on a late 80's kx 500. HUGE amounts of horsepower ( about 50ish) if I remember correctly thoughtfully placed in the lower 1/3 of the powerband. It would pull like a fighter plane right off idle,yank you all over the trail,and just when you got your feet and butt back where you wanted them it would hit about 5000 rpm.at this time the power would drop of (read stop completely) like a vw hitting a freight train!!now your doing the "over the bar's manouver thingy". So lets shift up and see what happen's ?? Oh Ya there's that 50 something H/Power again!!!here we go,again!! Also this unrully green b#^*ch would shake and vibrate so bad that even your feet would go to sleep on a 10 min ride. 2nd place-79 yz 400. way to much power for a bike with no handling and soapbox car braking capabilities. 3rd place- mid 80's maico 250 alpha. ton's of power with a power band about 74 rpm's wide at about 8000 rpm engine speed.any bike engine that look's like a cast iron frypan-stay away!!! now last but not least I have a reason to believe that my 3-back to back yz 490's wern't all that bad!(82yz490/4spd/drum brakes, 84 yz 490 4 spd/frt disc/big improvement, 88 yz 490/cartrige forks/5spd(they should have left it a 4 speed)this was a pretty decent bike.
