EX-500 Racing: Here a few tips on the parts for an EX-500 racing bike. These are parts I used on my 1999 EX-500.     
The list of  the material below is solely for the purpose to provide information of available components for the EX-500.  We are not endorsing or suggesting the usage of any item as listed and have no responsibility whatsoever if you chose to use any of them.
EX-500Jetting EX500: Unless you are heavily modifying the bike, I do not recommend changing the jets.  
I installed a Dyno Jet Kit Stage # 1: After several attempts, final tuning was K&M needles on groove # 2, K&N filter and Main Jet # 118.   
Power was increased, but a huge flat spot at 7,000 rpm was left.  
Back to stock Main Jet (# 130), power was kept strong, with a small flat spot at 4,500 rpm.  
According to my experience, stock jet, needle and air filter on the EX500 would be the best option.
