1989 all re-done KX 500.

It’s an 89. Engine wise, I did a leakdown and compression test and

found that all to be good, but it had clutch issues, so I went in there

and found someone had put the wrong hub to basket spacers in it.

Replaced them, then put in new disks since I had it open. New stator

plate and updated pickups, and ignition coil to give it better spark…

hoping to make it start easier for me. The rest is basically cosmetic:

I sandblasted the frame and swingarm, repainted with Centari urethane.

New fenders and graphics, new seat cover (should have that on today).

I’d be willing to take a smaller bike plus cash on trade. I had an 87

KX5 a few years ago that was detuned, different jetting, weighted

flywheel, and it was “enough” for me… this one is crazy, though… I

must be gettin’ old!

Looking for $2100 or best offer, _ **but firm** _. if there is SERIOUS interest i can e-mail you  
MORE pics showing complete re-build. Let me know this **must go ASAP.**
