      As long as you mix the oil rich enough to maintain oil presence of a bit during engine braking, you're all good. Worse case scenario you just have slightly shortened ring lifespan. There isn't much side loading on the piston during engine braking.

    I have a question for anyone who can answer it. If he put a smaller sproket kit wouldnt it be fine on the streets? I think it would have a good powerful motor and a good topspeed. Besides its a badass bike.

    It would be awesome to have a 2-stroke 500 cc bike on the road but i couldn't justify running a bike that does less mpg than my "2.0 litre petrol turbo car". I'd love to see someone stick a lighter to the exhaust of a 500cc 2-stroke to see what kind of flames you can get off the exhaust gases. I done it on a 125cc 2-stroke once, the exhaust gases were still flammable!
    I've got a 2001 Yamaha XT600E, which i took apart to paint the frame, can't wait to get it back on the road soon, i love big old thumpers.

  • @Malibus_Most_Wanted

    highly suggest swapping to the kips version if your gonna do lots of street riding as the powervalve really smooths out the low end bucking idk if they did a 3stage kips for the 500 like my old kdx200 91 it was 4stroke smooth power and hard to keep the front wheel down from the low end tq. awsome bike though gld to see other people interested in older 2 strokes supermotos

    • @bumpstartnether
      @bumpstartnether  2 роки тому +1

      Oh i agree with you! I ended up putting a 1993 KX500 engine in it. The later models had 3 valve exhaust. The KIPS definitely smooths it out. I had Tom Morgan Racing rebuild/balance the crank and bored/honed with Wössner connecting rod and piston. I also added a decompression valve to the 1993 engine. I actually sold this bike yesterday and I got more content coming soon with another vintage big bore 2 stroke.
