Title: KX 500.
Post by: Quicksilver on August 11, 2007, 07:53:43 pm

Can anyone ID year model please..... KX500BE013639...... Shes a fairly modern bike around mid 90s I think.
Disc brakes front and rear, water cooled and upsidedown forks. Yuppie stickers.. Hammers like hell.  ;D ;D Bloody insane. I thought my RM500 flew.. This thing is total madness.. :o :o

Anyone know where I can get NOS plastics and exhaust pipe new or used... Pipe blown out at front and paper thin. :'(

If it is a 90's model then plastics are readily available through your Kawasaki dealer (they didn't change from 1988-2004) the same applys to an exhaust pipe too (Maier, UFO etc all still do aftermarket plastics at cheaper than O.E.M prices, Procircuit, FMF etc can do a pipe cheaper than your O.E.M dealer)

Meanwhile heres is some stuff to look at...

for a replacement pipe go for FMF knarly if you can , thicker wall construction & will last a lot longer on the vibrating monster .
cyclegod is right , 500's didn't change shape at all from 88 onwards so getting plastics should be easy - would pay to check prices - some genuine kawasaki plastic is actually very cheap
