The legendary Kawasaki KX500 lives on thanks to people like KX500 Tech's Steve Wells who makes and sells engine parts for the mighty green machine. From gearbox parts to clutches and factory-style engine cases and modified cylinders, he is keeping the KX dream alive.
We ride two of his awesome bikes, a stock-framed KX500 and a fully-rebuilt perimeter-framed bike like the 1990 factory machine bristling with works parts.
Listen to the details of how these bikes can be improved and built from the man who knows them better than anyone else.
Crank up the volume as the sweet-sounding smokers are put through their paces by Steve And MotoHead's Dave Willet at the old-school Sellindge track as the differences between the two machines are probed and explained.
