onesixseven Started a new thread 2024 KTM 50sx: No Spark?
2/24/2026 4:43pm Hey guys, just changed the top end on my son's 2024 KTM 50sx. Prior to getting it done it was running flawlessly. After finishing the top end I went to start it... nothing. It sounded dead. Pulled the spark plug out, put it back into the plug cap and tested for spark by touching the threads to the cylinder and...

Check the carb vent hoses. I had to cut slits in the bottom of my kid’s 50 because they were plugged with mud and the bike acted like it was running out of fuel.

The stators are easy to check with a meter to see how far gone they are. We have alot of hours on these engines and have had all of the challenges people list. They are picky little bikes. I second the procedure above: Fuel Off, tip bike to drain carb, fuel on, fire it up. If that isn't working it's usually telling me the compression is down and it's time for a top end. Or that the stator is headed out. We keep a spare stator and a spare top end with us as both can be done pretty quick...

Had similar issues with a new '23 50SX. Slit the carb vent tubes. When they get a little wet or muddy, it'll die. These bikes really aren't that bad. ~80 hours on it now, stock clutch, stock stator, JETTING!!! They come PIG rich. I went through the gambit of pilot, main, needle positions and made the world of difference. Bike starts 1st kick on the stand cold with choke. Starts hot on the ground, even after a tip over. Running 91 pump gas 60:1 Motorex 2t per manual. For what it's worth, I did go back up a main size...

9/4/2024 7:22pm Thanks, guys! So the rrecurring theme is spark plug, and then change the starting technique to a fuel off, choke on, hold wide, tilt the bike on the front end, and kick it a few times. If those don't make a difference, stator is next. If none of that works, sell it and force him on to a full size...

Yep. It’s so damn lame. Add to that the logos are getting all their character taken out in favour of mobile phone legibility. It’s lame. See. FLY and THOR (Thors new logo is particularly depressing) It’s all Simplified nothingness designed by guys more influenced by tech bro design philosophy than anything else. At least Astar is still smashing out cool designs.

I felt the same way about MTB gear and recently switched to mostly black kit with the least amount of logos I could find. I was tired of paying to be some companies billboard.

8/12/2024 8:19pm Agreed! I'd pu them in the dame category as the new Thor stuff. Better, bu still not all that impressive. Thinking back to lIke the mid-2000s Thor gear that Cr22 used to wear. The cool bandana syle gear. Still had a logo on the chest, bu it had MORE than just that.
