SX Kit on a KX500

Hey, I just put a long track kit (not sx) on a 1992 kx500. What are you looking to find out ? I had to get a few custom machined parts and lockout bar. Everything seems to jive tho. I also have the 40mm apt smartcarb and avid carb heater. Haven't plumbed the heater yet as is hasn't got super cold here yet. Using a "pod" filter setup.

So I just made a bunch of parts to fit an ST kit on my '01 KX500. For the Strut Rod, I made one with 1" aluminum tube with 1/4" walls and heim joints (5/8 tie rod ends from McMaster-Carr) on both ends:



Here are the basic dimensions for the aluminum rod itself:



And the upper strut rod bushing (need 2, I made them out of stainless):



Lower strut rod bushing (need 2, I made them out of stainless):




For the swingarm bushings, I made 2 of these for the drive side of the motor out of aluminum:



And one of these for the non-drive side of the motor, also out of aluminum. For the gap between the non-drive side of the frame and the timbersled, I used a standard 15mm washer that was sanded down a bit on one side. This setup seemed to get the chain in pretty decent alignment on mine.

Looks like buddy has you covered! I didn't fab the parts my buddy did so I don't have the dimensions anyways. But I did not use a spacer on the sporocket and everything lines up perfect and no rub on chaincase

Here's a quick pic. Hopefully it works. Mines actually a long track. Umm not anything too special about my set up. Haven't plumbed the carb heater yet. I'm using a pod filter. On my smartcarb I'm at 38 clicks from full rich on my low speed adjuster. Which is a little far on the clicks but it is compensating a bit for a lean metering rod (q11 = m080 @ 3.950) called, they said basically it's not a problem to compensate with the clickers, my plug is a perfect tan so I'm happy, throttle is real crisp, no splooge or smoke really. Thing works unreal. I just need to change to higher gearing to my first and second gear aren't completely useless! And wow in deeper powder this thing just tractors through anything!
