Nice to hear! Last week my friend help me buy a 50cc 2 stroke enduro moped thing is loud and fun

You o to kick with authority

My CR500 usually starts first kick..

My 125 doesn't even start first try

@@TLMX722 your 125 need new piston

Cr500 and kx500 starts very easily. They are super reliable bikes, the trick is having good jetting and priming the bike with a few light kicks through the stroke to top dead center, with one really good strong kick, they go on every time. Now if you don't know the correct way to start a big bore, you can be there kicking it all day until it starts.

thats just the difference of another being 2 stroke and another 4 stroke, ofc when they are of similar cc power the 2 stroke will absolutely smoke 4 stroke on acceleration. In fact newer 250cc 2 strokes are similar in power to 400 4 strokes

Fr two stroke life

My dad got one from 82 i think

They haven't came as far as you think in all out power but what they have done is spread the power out over the rev range and put it to the ground more effectively. Those big old two strokes are still a contender. I have an 84 yz 490 and ride with guys with modern 4 strokes and I'm not hurting any when they twist the throttle.

500 wins everytime in the long race

@@jigzonyt517 but the 500 will blow up in long run and consume tons of gasoline. fun but not a cheap bike to ride tough

@@pleessi55162 strokes don't blow up easy.

@@steve-o6115 ik but still easier than 4 stroke

Stock vs stock are quite the same

Not really... 450f have been updated so much, 250 2 stroke will never keep up with 450f period and this is 2021

@jonny Begood your wrong, I own KX250 2 stroke and CRF450 and 450 will shit on 250 2 stroke any day and all day cause of larger displacement plus it much easier to ride and keep getting update every years and I know the fact! Now 250 2 stroke are eligible to race MX2.

It’s not like the 450 has around 10 more horsepower or anything

@Matthew Hayslett lol 250f beats 125 with equal riders on a track any day bud

@Matthew Hayslett also you talk about two strokes having half the displacement while in this video the 2 stroke has 50cc’s more and struggles to win

What’s the power like compared to a 450,I’ve driven a kx 250 2 stroke and a crf 450 and they were similar power so I can’t imagine a 500

@@jonasmolinari5994 Imagine the front end being lifted by the wind in every gear, if it's jetted correctly. You will definitely know when it's on the pipe and for sure be ready to hold on. I recently went back to stock gearing so it's really fun now. I've ridden the cr250,kx250,kx450f,cr450f and I use to own a cr500 which was a beast also, but once I got this kx500 I was hooked. If you like 2 strokes this is it, just keep gas/oil, hand grips and rear tires on hand.

False because technology is making the 4 strokes faster not saying that it's faster than the 500 but these newer 450s will run pretty hard

@@thefngoat2888 I owned a TE 510. I never said 4 strokes don’t run hard. I personally cannot stand 2 strokes. But with the right rider? On a motocross track? They are crazy.

Yep you are right it takes a 1000cc 4 stroke to match a 500cc 2 stroke

I was in 2nd. This is a slick sandy road with pretty much no traction. Dropping at anything over half throttle would just wheel spin me off the road

@@zachdavis3974 got ya 👍. I have a fully professional worked up kx500 myself, far from stock, and smoke the majority of bikes I've raced. My best race was against a crf450r that had athena bigbore kit made out to a 510cc. We were head for head but ran out of distance by the time my kx500 started pulling in front. My cr500r thats been a project for a while, will lay a smack down on my kx500 (as the cr500r engine has been built top to bottom by Eric gorr - the guy who used to build all team pro hondas 500 bikes back when they still raced the 500 class and spanked the competition. My cr500r engine is ported and polished, squish band adjusted, head milled, set up for high compression and to run on race fuel, big 40 mm carb (stock was 38mm) boyesen rad valve, msv exhaust flange, and all the other supporting mods to brinng out big power gains.

@@coloradodirtbike5930 oooof that was a low effort troll on my part and WOW.

It sounds like he shifts at the bottom of the power band. Holding it in half a second longer will keep it in the power band on the next shift turning it into the death machine it was designed to be.

He's scared of the power band

Yep

@@lenny0347 450s have pretty similar gear ratios to the 500s but the 450s rev higher. Most of the 450s will rev out past 11,000rpm while the 500s will rev to about 8,500rpm. My stock geared KX450 will hit a little under 100mph where my friends CR500 tops out at a little over 80.

@@harrypeterson9287 yea but my point is the 500s pump out more torque meaning you can run higher gearing

@@lenny0347 That's true to an extent, but first gear is already pretty fast on them in the first place in my experience . For my type of riding I'd rather not be going 20+mph in first gear at practically idle. I rode an 01 CR500 on tight and muddy trails and had a hard time going slow enough to feel in control. I suppose over time I would get used to it, but for me it felt like I was on the verge of going off the trail even while barely touching the throttle, and that's coming from someone who has been riding 450s since they came out.

Thanks!

No lie 😅 the roost feels like getting hit with bullets. Catch a rock hitting you from being thrown by the kx500 and your in a world of hurt.

Only time I ever needed a chest protector was when I was getting launched bricks from behind my dad's 800 pound arcticat on mudclaws 😭

I agree my cousin had a YZ80 growing up and I used to ride it those things were very fast for being so small he would keep up with my 125 when we went through the woods

Out in the open I could hand from 0-40 w/ my cousins 250 but it's ability to go thru the woods fast amazed my cousin but at the time I didn't understand it, only later did I realize it's size allowed it to cut thru trees & tough trails easier than a big bike just b/c of it's small stature. All I can remember is when I thought she was ALL IN, she had another half the "band" of power waiting. I also think they made the bikes back then out of better materials but here I am at 62 looking for a bike to ride again = go figure? peace man

It doesn't pressurize the fuel/air mixture like a turbo at all bro. It only takes the same amount as what it sucks. Granted thay bang twice as often, but that is also lessened by the amount of combustion that two strokes produce by design. I'm a 2 stroke guy by the way.. no hate js

@@scottyd2262 can't argue with stupid I don't know how, I can only say the bottom end of the piston forces air into the chamber, you aren't the first person I've had to explain this too.

@@Kevin-cn7nb It gets the same amount as what it sucks.. Just like a na 4stroke. A turbo produces more of an atmosphere into the barrel.. Your not arguing with stupid now bro... You can't argue into a mirror stupid..

You really should have said "You're not the 1st person that I've told incorrect information to. I work at my Dad's performance shop for the last 25years on turbos & superchargers. I raced 2t's since I was 9.... stupid

The two stroke is actually similar to a turbo, it exceeds atmospheric pressure during certain points in the rpm range, this is what creates the so called powerband

Lmao

500 will win every dash over distance. Your right down to the rider

@@jigzonyt517 i have seen pros race the 2 and 450s win

450 seems faster

It was pretty much a tie

A ton of brands are still trying to improve power and efficiency though, like KTM, Husqvarna and many others relating to dirt bikes, chain saws, boat motors etc. The reality is that the four stroke has seen a massive performance optimization in the last 40 years with dirt bikes while the two stroke has pretty much already been perfected since at least the 80s. There's only so much you can do with a two stroke to make more power and they've already done it.

​@@harrypeterson9287It has more to do with most of the biggest modern 2 stroke's being 250cc and not 500cc. A modern 4 stroke 250 is still slower and not as snappy as a 2 stroke 250. If modern 2 stroke's was 450cc or 500cc with technology these days they would be crazy fast. It sounds like you just like 4 stroke's more.

@@trevorpeck1877 Why not 1000cc engines? Maybe run it on methanol. No wait, nitromethane! I'm not saying 2 strokes suck, I'm saying there are physical limitations to the way they function which have been reached long ago. I own a CR500AF, a YZ490 and a CR250.

Yup, no need to let the gas of

Exactly

Your kx needs a rebuild

​@@jigzonyt517no, 500 2 stroke and 450 4 stroke have the same power. It's the truth

My Exc-f 450: push one button

I'm one of those XR 600 guys . In the desert absolutely. On a MX track ... Not a chance if the rider on the 2 stroke can ride

Partially true, but even when the 450 would get the initial jump, the 500 would close in towards the end

@@zachdavis3974 yea

Yup!!!

Ya I've only ridden a race moded kx 500 with a fully built engine. It was fast maybe the fastest dirt bike I've ridde. Next to a 82 yz 490 with 500 kit. I've owned some fast cr 500 but they have no power valve and Rev out at like 7000 rpm. The will eat a 450 off the line but get walked on the big end by the 450s every time. Do to lack of rpm. The kx has a power valve an can keep making power higher. Although it's chasis sucks

Peak figures for the 2021 Kawasaki KX450 are 52.4 hp at 9,600 rpm and 32.6 Make ModelKawasaki KX500 Max Torque65,7 Nm 48.4 lb-ft / @ 6000 rpm Quote from dirtbike magazine In stock trim the KX500 makes in the realm of 63 horsepower and has 40-plus foot-pounds of torque. It is a lighter bike than the new-aged 250Fs and more powerful than all of the 2017 450 four-strokes. Sounds good on paper, doesn’t it?

That was a Paris-Dakar desert bike with taller gearing and a special wide-ratio gearbox. The 500 simply ran out of gear to pull. Tean Green's Baja 500 bikes were geared to do 118 all day long.

It's more forgiving

Well it's a 4 stroke.

That’s what a 4 stroke is

4 stroke is a more predictable and controllable power so ya easier to race a track faster but just drag race or raw power 2stroke wins cc to cc comparison.

1990+ look at the f suspension kx500e I had one, easily lift in all gears.

2001

Except the 2 strike delivers peak hp and torque at the same time. 500 will have higher torque numbers as well

@@dormantmenace the 4 t has a wider usable power range. And 2 strokes are geared shorter. Drag and track are completely separate. The 450 would eat the 500 on a track.

Four stroke has no place on any moto cross track they should stay on the pavement where they belong

I'd say port n polish and take 20 thou off the head if you give it a fresh piston and rings. You'll see a hp increase guaranteed.

I hope its tired bro its like a 1990

Let's just say its by far better than your 500🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@joeyholthusen6495 For sure.

4 strokes took over because of EPA and similar European emission laws. Smokers are making a comeback with FI and other "clean" technology. There is no doubt displacement vs displacement the 2t kicks ass.....here's a decent article: www.revzilla.com/common-tread/where-did-all-the-2-strokes-go

2 stroke riders have to the biggest group of pissy elitists ever. 2 strokes put out more power sure. 4 strokes translate the power much more efficiently. When the modern 4 strokes came out they were destroying the 2 strokes. And with proper maintenance 4 strokes don't grenade. 300 to 400 hours on a 4 stroke isn't uncommon and even at 200 hours the maintenance on them really isn't all that expensive. Probably pretty close to the cost of mixing $20 containers of oil into your fuel for a 2 stroke for a season. Put this 4t on a track against that 500 and let's see who wins. Ride what you want. Not sure why every 2 stroke rider insists on turning every conversation about bikes into a my dick is bigger than yours argument. 2 strokes have their place and so do 4 strokes. In 5 years when electric bikes are hitting the market with any frequency they are going to destroy the 2 t and 4 t anyways.

Not sure why you think it's physically impossible that a 4t would make less hp than a 2t of equal displacement. A KTM 450sxf makes 63hp. So with 50cc less that argument doesn't pan. There's more to it than 2t vs 4t.

@@wonderbread2364 problem is with most riders whether its 2 stroke or 4 stroke is that they often push the limits on their machines just to ride. I restored an 08 yz450. The bike has well over 200 hours on the top and bottom end. Still runs like a dream. Where I live I have a winter season where I don't ride so the bike is torn down and cleaned. I crack the case every winter to make sure its in good shape. It's really not that hard to do. Most often than not it costs me a gasket kit. It's really not that expensive if you think about how long the engine can go with proper maintenance. Unless you have an absolutely catastrophic issue. Which machining and repairs in a catastrophic failure on a two stroke will run you just as much in machining and parts. Too many people ride and neglect their bikes only to bitch and complain later that they have issues.

@@wonderbread2364 you missed the point. Yes I do tear the bike down every year thats my choice. You don't have to tear the bike down every year. My cousin has the same bike i do and doesn't do nearly the maintenance i do and the bike has been super reliable. Im just super meticulous about a machine that I own. I've also invested over $4000 in parts to upgrade the bike. The point is that these bikes regardless of what you ride are more than just oil changes. Hence the majority of blown up 4 stroke bikes being sold for cheap, giving 4 stroke bikes a bad name because of human incompetence. You should be checking the bottom end of your two strokes every year. But that's up to the owner. You don't have the facility to do a tear down thats fine. Sure two strokes are cheaper to maintain in the top end. They are a more user friendly bike when it comes to maintenance. My problem is with every two stroke rider using that as a gage to turn every conversation between 2 stroke and 4 stroke into a passing match about how their bikes are superior. Without a doubt 2 stroke riders are the only ones out that apparently have something to prove. And maintenance cost on 2 strokes changes drastically when you start dealing with the European bikes. And thats if you can get parts. Especially during covid. Blow up a KTM or husky 2 stroke and let me know what your cost is. I'll tell you I also have 2016 ktm 300 xc and by far the maintenance has been more expensive the my yz450. I'm not sure where you go to get a crank and top end for the price you claim...but im in Canada and parts are much more expensive here. I got a full engine weisco rebuild kit for $1200. Divide that cost over the 2 years I've been riding the bike and you see the math. And I would place my money on the idea that I'll get a 3rd year easy. 2 stroke riders seem to be under the belief that 4 stroke bikes blow up every single year. I'm not an mx rider either. I ride events hare scrambles and sprints but as well as a trail rider.

Yeah, I like to do a third gear rolling start on pavement. That takes a lot of variables out of the equation.

I had a 76' XT 500 as a 16 year old. I got my mc license with that bike. And yes if you didn't use the compression release lever it could mess you up.
