  • Howdy, This bike started out as a 2002 YZ 250 was completely rebuilt from the frame up with a fresh KX500 engine. It was done by a local shop here Charlotte NC. My son sold it to help pay for his last semester at UNCC. I uploaded the video for the Facebook market place listing and it has over 100,000 views. I figure I will leave it up for the smile. In retrospect would have made a better video. Enjoy

      Its obviously a Hill climb bike. So its custom suspension that much lower. Thats also one of the only reasons you would put such a motor in that bike

      @@MV-ri7zu No I don’t think that, I know how 2 strokes run. I’m a mechanic, a mix of gas and 2 stroke oil is put into the gas tank and when it gets squirted into the engine it lubricates the piston rods. When the piston goes down and the gas/oil mixture lubes the piston rods, in the cylinder itself the gas/oil mixture is combusting causing the motor to run. It smokes because when you burn oil it creates a white foggy smoke

    My brother rode a yz 490 for a long time. Like a chainsaw unless you open it up it stays bogged down. Cr 500 they where NASTY best hill climber out there n 2 stroke is a different breed. Reed valves and spark every time the piston comes up, 10,000 rpms n str8 power once you clear the smoke.!

    If he plans on not doing jumps the suspension is fine. Better stiffer suspension and this thing would be a motocross beast. Along with a little welding to the pipe we can see it leaking.
