- Hey guys whats up welcome back to my youtube channel today is the day we start on the kx500 build! this thing is going to be insane!
Want to win a free pair of Alpine star boots?? well just subscribe, turn notifications on, and follow me on instagram!! it is that easy! di3drich
There’s a drain plug for antifreeze on the water pump cover
Clearly didn't read the manual. Muppet.
Held together with hopes and dreams and zip ties sound like my car bumper grille and the front headlight is zipped tied on 😂😂
Theres a drain bolt either on the face or under neither the water pump cover every bike has one
Great Build! For its age it's in pretty good condition I would guess so I think you paid around 2250$ for it.
Oil = American soldiers shooting haha. Nice. Very fitting.
Beautiful bike.
Older Kawasaki subframes all have Allen key bolts
Love those rear pegs. Hope you are putting them back on.LOL
U do know there is a drain bolt on the water pump cover in like every bike
Does that bike weigh under 200lbs without the rear fender?
I’m guessing you got it for 1200
That bike is sweet I had a 93 kx250 with a big bore kit it was awesome I'm going to say 1100 for bike
throw the engine in a newer kx450f frame and put retro graphics on it that’d be so sick
Peep that Oldsmobile 442 in the background!
What a mess and that's the easy part. Before you go out and try finding OEM parts (very expensive) for that bike looks like a 90's bike, ask yourself what I my going to use this bike for ? Powder coat? WTF it's a dirt bike ok for a museum piece otherwise waste of time and money. If you are going to race vintage then if compression is good and shifts fine leave it alone and spend time on suspension. Basically that's it the rest is maintenace.
Done every thing for the boots. Hope to win I have grown out of my boots and am in the market for a new pair
$1,900 for the KX500.
Where do you find such cheap bikes every dirt bike on my area craigslist is so overpriced!!
Bikes gonna look sick. You paid $1299
Like the videos
i really want new gear im riding dirtbikes more now and i have no gear i usually wear a helmet and pants to not hurt my head and pants so the dirtbike doesnt burn me
1500$ seems how it’s in somewhat decent condition
nice boots XD
Did u get it for 1200
80
Put it in a 250 frame
3800 ?
Or 450
Is nobody gonna talk about the sin committed? Chrome sockets on an impact😂
That will break them. But do not worry, that is not an air gun.
Hey dude you should definetly not put that engine back into that frame. Throw it into a newer kx450 frame!
100 likes and he has too do it!!!
⏬
I can barely weld steel now you want me to weld alum. lol that thing would fall apart
Diedrich ever hear of JB weld😂
Might be worth outsourcing to a welding shop. They'd at least quote you a price for free.
Either way this build promises to be badass!
DubClub TV nah bro, keep it original!
Noooooo are you mental
It'd be awesome if you could find someone to vapor blast all the metal parts, it looks even better than new!
Well I did all 3 hope I can win!
And also I guess 1350 for the bike
1450$
1750
$1150
$900
Make it street legal
Put a 450 rear fender on it👐
Lukas Radzimski definitely
Lukas Radzimski nah it’s a 500 you gotta keep it classic
Love the videos man keep up the good work.
Hey bro can I have those riding boots. I don’t have a bike yet but I guess they would look pretty cool to wear to school or some🙂
The legendary KX500, love it.
750$? Im quessing u got it for cheap cuz u always get awesome deals
It would be worth at least 1500 in the UK so guessing American prices is impossible since they go for way cheaper
@@dicksplatts007 It would be worth much more than that now, you can't even get a bad condition 125 for 1500.
I think that you paid $1100
I'll bet you got the bike for $1,200 and a bird feeder
Guys so this is a 2001 kx right? and it looks pretty outdated. The newer dirt bikes look really agressive and better. Can you put new plastics, seat and tank to make it look like a new one or the frame and everything isnt the same?
Anthony Nikoloski it’s more about the fact that it’s a 500cc two stroke and less what it looks like, but yes the design was almost unchanged from the early 90’s till 2004 when production ended. Some people throw them in new aluminum frame rollers but that can get very expensive.
I think the bike costs you like 1000/1500$
Edit: how cool would it be a kx500 supermoto?
2300
Bingo.
What email do you want it sent to?
I guessed that because that’s how much my bike costed😂
Bro i guessed 2300 aswell 14 hours ago just like you!🙄
Did you get my email
The 500 carb will work on the 250 with the proper jetting
Cool I’m building the same bike but the one I bought was some kind of crazy art project maybe check me out✌️
Glad you started making vids again ! , great bike to build too don’t see many of these anymore can’t wait to see how it ends up looking
nice proiect bruh, keep it up, love ur vids, greetings from Romania 💜
Guessing you paid $1000 for it.
3:10 your dirt bike take the number 420 😂🤫😉
Tech tip ,... most of the screws are JIS.. you need a JIS screwdriver
You say the draining of the rads is a bad design? Go to 10:55, that upper bolt to the left o the KX500 raised print, is the drain plug/hole! Take out with the rad cap on, put bowl under, take rad cap off and ta daaaaaar, there you have it, cheers. Did the guy, hang on I'm assuming gender which is a tricky subject nowadays!? The person who opwned the bike beore you ever strip it down? Cuz damn, some of those bolts looked tight!
I’m enjoying your videos, but brother you sure do a lot of stuff backwards (in my opinion anyway). My method is to remove the engine before the forks front wheel, swing arm and rear wheel. Makes it so much easier. And the drain plug for the coolant is almost always on the pump cover. It should be easy to identify with the copper washer.
Keep up the work and you’ll find ways to work easier! Best of luck.
Yes he's back and wow that's the best looking cosmetic kx500 and I bet it was 3,400
I appreciate the way you wrench on bikes man, that kid motomigs makes me so frustrated with his half ass jury rigged builds. No bike deserves to be abused that way
4:54 mortal kombat guy made my day XD Aaaand, I'm guesing 2000 $
900-950 dollars maybe?
Turn that KX into "Supermoto" . You can't go wrong ! Believe me you will have tons of fun ! Also if you want good winter usage get a "Snow Bike Kit" and you will certainly make very good usage of that machine . I wish you lots of fun !
Im pretty sure 62 percent of this bike is held together with zip ties and missing bolts. Lol you shoild see my bike. My oem gas tank started cracking from age so i have 8 zip ties holding 2 lawnmower gas tanks on it. Seat has 1 bolt hilding it skid plat has 3 different sizes of bolts. All the cotter pins have bent nails instead thanks to the owners before me. And thats just the things off the top of my head. Im sure theres more. I do have a honda gastank from an older bike i wanna put on it but im still stripping rust off it and it will need some fabrication.
I did all three really in need of boots. Hope I win
Hey, do you have any tool kits to recommend to get started on working on bikes? I bought a kit from advance auto parts but it wasn’t metric or something like that so the sockets didn’t fix my bolts... maybe you know of a decent kit that contains most if not all the tools I need to work on common problems
Also don’t forget to Cerakote engine parts and triple clamps also update the bike so it looks a bit newer
Hey I'm a big fan of you're channel and recently got into dirtbikes . And for the giveaway if you're already have all those things done are you still in the giveaway
Why didn't you just unbolt the skid plate and use the coolant drain bolt? Would've made a lot less mess. It's the small bolt at the bottom of the water pump cover, lol.
I am guessing the dude said the bike was blown up so probably something in the range of $600 through $750.
Dude... it would be awesome if you could choose me for the boots. Here's the situation, my actual boots are... steel toe and i created an instagram account just for this.
I guess $900. If you keep this bike you should buy shares in Loctite. Then you can have all the bolts still.
Hope you choose me as a winner 🙂
Oh boy oh boy I would love some riding boots instead of my vans cause hitting a cactus with your foot in 5th gear is kinda horrible lol
No one noticed the passenger pegs on the subframe?
Who the fuck takes a passenger on a fucking KX500? :P
you realize all bikes have a drain bolt on the water pump cover for the coolant so you don't have to take off the hose and get coolant everywhere
I'll guess you bought that within 400 to 500 US$. Not that decent for me.
Hey that scene at 9:55 reminds me of "ALIEN" and the acid and that creature with 3 sets of jaws .
Hope I win just got new motor bike and don’t have any gear hopefully get the boots
I’m guessing that you paid $1800. It’s so good to see you making videos again.
Sweet builds. Subscribe, clicked that bell and found ya on the gram
Random guess but 1350$ for the bike I mean it’s worth a shot😂
I’m guessing $700
That poor bike has seen better days. How could someone let it get in that condition?
Hey man next time you drain the coolant undo the drain bolt on the water pump housing👍
I’d say $3000 cause you can’t find them whole and cheap around here
In my Kawasaki, even gasoline is green
All those bolts at least she's like that cuz that thing migrates unbelievably insane.
I’m going to guess he wanted 3500 and you talked him down to 3300
2400 dollars.
Oh nevver mind in my country these bikes are exspensive as f*ck
U payed 1500
2:52 - America invading for oil. made me chuckle.
i love your content man keep these vids ,,💙
Like $1000
You paid 350 for the bike
I guess u paid $1480 for the bike
I guess $2200 (which would be a great deal)
well I would say you spent around 1to 2 dollars on that bike
Why wouldn’t you pull the drain plug in the water pump?
My guess: 1380$ for the bike..?
i could totally use those boots the ones that i have now are destroyed
I'd say you paid $500 for that or maybe $200
imma say 1100 or 1500 or 1000 thats what u paid
When are you picking the winner of the boots?
I'm guessing you paid 1500 for it
