Not being rude here people, but I will bet the 500 will do what dabaum_85 is wanting. Just maybe not as quick as the other rides listed.
Riding and knowing your ride makes this so.

For the most part, I deal with site sponsors on a different forum. I have had good luck with them.

 

the one wheel note....yeah it will get you on one wheel, back wheel, i havent yet had the ***** to do an endo yet but a wheelie is simple enough on a 500r i have a video of my new sarachu exhaust and i do alittle pop up on it, nothing big but with time ill be able to ride it longer

 

post it up!

 

Might help? Performance and Visual Mods One thing they don't talk about is jet kits and if you really want to spend some getting the engine bored out. That's what I plan on doing when I get another bike making this bike a sleeper so I can make somebody feel bad when they get smoked by a 500.

 

here I place you some links to jet kits.

The first one is to dynojet:

The following link is to the page of Factory-Pro. They have several performance mods for our kawa. including Timming mods, jet kits and shift kits.

I hope this help you in your challenge. Please, give us some feedback about your project I have hearded that the top of out engine is in 70 Hp if correctly tuned.

Best regards.

 

I hate to point this out but I seriously doubt dabaum is still checking this out, it seems like he took offense to what we were really trying to tell him we thought about his upgrades. My roommate is the same way though, it doesnt matter if he buys a 250 or a 1000 he is going to waste every penny possible with upgrades so he can tell everyone his bike is better than theirs. Pretty sad actually, his bike hasnt been ridden in about 3 weeks and its a nice bike

 

i seriously think your right..."he's gone." it would be nice if retailers and or manufacturers would offer more aftermarket products or upgrades, for the 5R but they all just believe that this bike is too much of just a tool for learning, that's ashame... oh well maybe oneday....
