How to make a KX500 billet extended clutch arm for an easier clutch pull.
It's no secret that the KX500 has amazing power and are great hill climb and desert bikes,
One of the complaints that we hear often is how hard it is to pull the clutch open.
I have to admit that after a long day of riding it can cause fatigue.
Since the bike was pulled from production in 2004, most after market manufactures no longer have much interest in coming out with new products.
What can a KX500 rider do?
Make your own!
First, let me give credit where it is due.
This was not my idea.
I originally found it on http://www.KXRIDERS.com which is a great source of KX500 information.
Here is what we are attempting to do.
We are using a stock KX500 Clutch arm, a YFZ450F billet Clutch arm from MOdQuad, and a stock YFZ450F clutch arm.
If everything works as planned this should give as a clutch arm that is 20% longer than stock.
The plan is to use the bottom half of the KX500 clutch arm with the top half of the YFZ450F clutch arm and of course the Billet arm
