MxKing's KTM Build FINISHED

They switch from Brembo to Magura and visa versa all the time and it makes it hard to buy the clutch lever for your bike. You really need to check out the master cylinder logo when ordering a clutch lever.

What did u use this for?

Nice graphics mxking ,tell chip advertising isnt free. Iol

I Love the Kermit GIF and Love the Ktoom even more! Saaweet!!!!!!!!

I am doing a YZ 250 build and every time I see one here in Vital it makes me think mine is gonna be lame! Nice build, bike looks awesome! BTW, where did you get the carbon wrap from? Did you say it doesn't last long in the silencer? Thanks.

Love the bike and the graphics look awesome. It definitely has that team bike look :-) You should be very happy with how it came out. I've had a large piece of the carbon wrap for quite a while. Bought it wrap the mirrors on my wife's Mini Cooper a cpl of yrs ago but never got around to doing it. I have a spare silencer and would love to give it a try. Any tricks to putting it on?

Good job! Looks excellent!

Yup, coming from a yz 250 to my '13 250sx I thought it was signing off quite early in the rpm range. I went to a 172 main, put on a PC exhaust and the Suzuki needle. It feels crisp and much better on top.

At first, I played with the supplied ktm needles but it always had this minor 'choking' going on.

Go to a 14 tooth counter shaft sprocket and put a 175 main it. You'll definitely thank me later :-)

Would you recommend trying a 14 countershaft on a stock 250 or just the 300s?

Yes, you can definitely do it on your stock 250. I ran 14x48 on my 250 and loved it. It spreads everything out nicely and you're not feeling like you have to shift halfway through a turn. You'll definitely shift less times per lap and it will also give you a little bump on top too.

I rode yesterday with KTMShane699 and I told him 2 wks ago to try a 14 on his 250 and he did and he sent a text msg that day from the track a cpl wks ago and it said in all caps "14 tooth countershaft, BEST THING EVER"

+1 on the 14T crew. 14/50 here and its night and day difference!

It is definitely is a night and day difference. I'm running 14x50 now as well and it feel it's the perfect ratio for my 300SX and the type of riding that I do. It may not be perfect for everyone but I love it.

Digger,

So you are running a 14/50 on your 300 and you ran a 14/48 on it when it was still a 250. Did you ever try any other 14T combos when your bike was still a 250? I have a 14/51 combo right now, but don't really like it. Thinking a 14/50 is a step in the right direction, but probably not enough. A 14/48 may be too much so I might give a 14/49 a try. What do you think?

Also, I would figure a 300 would pull a 14/48 better than a 250 could so I'm surprised you're still not running the 14/48 on your 300. Any reason why?

Thanks.

I ran 14X48 on my 250 for the final 4 races of 2012 and I really liked it. I still had the 50 lying around because I geared & jetted it based on MXA's specs when I got my 13 in the summer of 12. MXA's jetting specs were horrible and 13X50 that they recommended was way to tight and I was in 5th gear everywhere. I still had the 50 lying around so tried it the week after I put the 300 kit on it and I liked the zip it gave it so I left it on. 14X49 could definitely be the hot set up but I'm totally comfortable with the 14x50 that I'm running now. 14X48 could be the perfect offroad gearing but for MX (and that's all I do) I like the 14X50. It give the instant snap so I can clear a double that is right out of a turn without having to seat bounce it.

Thanks for modeling lol, just the look I was looking for. This is my dream set up.

Best picture of your bike very nice.
