I had a talk with my KDX once. She said, 'I don't like steady throttle for any period of time'.

Nor does a KX500.

Definitlely not when compared to most dirt bikes or say, a KDX200/220, but compared to a dyna glide, yes, it turns well!

My hat goes off to you bro

Ha!.....we'll see once I do it.. Still getting the bike ready for inspection to get my title changed from off road to MC -I am in Ohio.

I checked out the Procycle site and it looks good with regards to parts. It appears that the wiring harness is the big money maker for these places. $159.00 for some wires, connectors, a fuse, and some tape and shrink wrap.

No need for inspection....

thanks KF

As long as it is dry you can lean her over and carve the crap outa paved roads on DOT knobbies

Here's my lil DR with a Pirelli Scorpion on the front and a D606 on back

I use a DR-650 for the road.
Whew, is that thing a pig in the woods.
Has full knobbies, though they are DOT- Dunlop 606s

And no, I don't actually ride them- yes, they are primarily just for show.

Pig in the woods? Define 'woods' for me?

Those are toooooooo clean to be real!

A vase of flowers in the garage?!?!? R U Nuts??!? oh, I see urnuts!!

Yeah, I've got some issues.
I vacuum and mop the garage 2 times/week. Ok, 3.
I did just build a slush enclosure for my Pathfinder to keep all the slop of the floor. Worked out well- 3 sided frame (2x4s) and then lined with 6 mil plastic.
Tires do no damage to the plastic and when all the slush melts off the car, it runs out the door.
Oh, this is a KDX forum, sorry!
The KDX was brand new there- the DR was DIRTY in that pic.
I'm pretty much a poser- just like to LOOK like I ride!

Tight trails, etc. That thing makes it's own trail- 350 lbs is HEAVY in tight woods!

I have a 600 Honda XL....1983 version. Weighs 332 with gas, it does and I know what you mean.

Agree with the 'tight' woods comment.

It's great fun on a fireroad or anywhere I don't need to either kick-start it after a stall or dab with my feet to stay upright. Then, it doesn't feel heavy at all.

Besides...what do we do when things are gettin ugly? GAS IT!!! and HANG ON just like you know what you're doing!!

I've never had much of a problem on mine, just ask Carvr

Part of riding a heavier bike is being strong enough to handle it

"Part of riding a heavier bike is being strong enough to handle it Wink"

That lets me off the hook.........I thought I just had to prevent 'incidents' such as falling over or needing to 'dab' a foot now and then.

There were times that that thing started to tip and I knew I'd never stop it.
I thought about getting one of those lifeline pendants they advertise on TV for seniors- I can just push the button and say "I've fallen and can't get up"
