Oh my God!!!I've just taken it for its first blast.
It is a bit of a handful,it pulls like a train and keeps pulling,the upside down gearshift will take some getting used to(nearly head butted the top yoke twice on the up shift and it went down )
I think i have created Frankensteins monster
Casualty is imminent,start the ambulance!!

I have gone this way with my naked and it makes it fun to ride in twisties etc, but I have noticed that having bars and risers (with kr1 engine) amplifies the vibes that you feel on the right hand. It never used to bother me with clip ons but 20 minutes with the bars, and my fingers ar numb. Also has made the bike a wheely monster of the line in first, and second, so it could make the 500 too much of a handfull, as theres no weight over the front end to keep it down.pablo wrote:Daz Have you thought about a set of risers and renthals

Symtec23 is right,putting renthals on would move weight backwards making it very user un-friendly.I do prefer the clip-on riding position for taming the beast.
To be honest with the gearing i've got (15/38 sprockets),wheelies won't be too much of problem,it's the tallest gearing i could put on with the CR500 low ratio gearbox,it just pulls from idle like nothing else.
It reminded me very much of my old RG500 but with a little bit more torque,that's the closest description i could give of what it's like.

I had to sell it to fund other projects.Mikkel wrote:Thanks...
But do you know why? Was vibrating too much? An untamable beast or...?
The vibration wasn't too bad and it was still reasonably rideable (depending on what you're used to).
I've built another bike with an engine swap recently(not a KR ) and i've built a supermoto so i've been very busy
