KTM SX 360 -97 Refresh

Found a Rare KTM SX 360 -1997 last year in Germany 

At that time i sell a 98 KTM SX 380 ,the Guy want my bike , so we change bikes i get the 360 with 2 Spare Engines

After few Rides i decide not to Full Rebuild ,it was in a Good Condition and runs Great for a 25 old Bike 
So i did a light refresh with Cables,Bearings ,Piston Clutch and Gaskets

The biggest change was to Replace the shity Marzocci Fork with the WP-Air Fork and Wheels from my 21 Husquarna

You can put the newer style rear brake on it. I did it to my 91 300. The only mod I had to do was grind down the caliper carrier hanger mount on the swingarm. 

The newer style has a smaller bracket. I just traced the outline marked it out. Couple minutes with the grinder done. Remove the material from the bottom side. 

Leave the stock top side alone then just grind the round stop part. Down to the smaller newer size. Do not remove all of the stop need some left to hold the carrier on. Rear axle should just fit through the carrier no mods. 

Mounting the master cylinder to the frame no mods it lines right up. To use the newer style master cylinder with the older brake pedal. Use the older style caliper plunger off the brake pedal. The longer one not the new style shorter one. 

Now you'll have newer brakes front and rear.

For the Front Break i use a 2018 Brembo for the rear i leave the 97 

Can i use a newer rear Brembo Master Cylinder 2018-2022 on the Older Bikes without modification??

Was any major modification needed to swap the forks? I have a 1995 ktm 250sx and want to replace the stock forks as they suck. Thanks!

If you take the 2016+ Air Forks  you Need Triple Clamps and Brembo Caliper you cant use the 95
