Got the water leak fixed. turned the gas on the carb is dumping fuel, but I was able to get it fired up just for a brief second before I shut it off, remembering it was get a little on the late side.

Thanks John! I can't wait
It is a kx500 Rad valve. Thinking about using the stock air intake elbow without the air box but might have to go to a round clamp on filter. The elbow unit sticks out quite a bit. Looks cool but my leg is against it with my foot on the shifter. Not hear that bad though, glamy. I might try this and see how I like it. If this carb starts giving me problems I will replace it but trying to not spend more than I need to at this point.
here's the video I took while doing the 1st warm up.

Rode this thing for the first time today. Got the 1/4 throttle heat cycle done. Everything seemed to work just as it should. I couldn't help myself though, I had to gas it at least once. Pretty sure I wasn't much past 1/2 throttle for just a second, but damn she's got some power waiting to be unleashed!

Finally put some seat time on this weekend. Saturday I went to a friend's house for some break in and tuning.
faces have been changed to protect the guilty, err, uh, innocent. but the smile was pretty much that big
Today(Sunday) made a run out in the dunes and burned a whole tank of fuel. Pretty happy with the results. Things I have to do now are to pull clutch cover and fix kick start recoil and fix the oil leak coming from the cover. Change from the 12T to a 13T front sprocket, and finally I need to get some paddle tires. Right now 5th gear feels like 3rd should.

Been a while since I posted, but I got the clutch cover oil leak fixed. I ended up making my own gasket because I got tired of waiting for the one the dealer ordered. Also got a 14T front sprocket put on. I got some 20 haulers on rims from a friend of a friend for cheap. Sold my old hubs and rims and bought some of the 400ex extended hubs. with some ingenuity, I got those on tonight.
Going to do a run with it tomorrow, hoping everything goes well.

Went for a couple hour ride today at the dunes. Everything went really well except I still have an oil leak that is driving me crazy.

Nice Tecate, I'd check the drain plug bolt washer to see if it is in good shape, also the seals often give out, mainly the sprocket countershaft seal.

No, haven't done anything with those yet. They sit up higher, so I need to cut them off the mounting plate and lower them about an inch. Sometime when I have nothing better to do.
