hey guys. i need a bit of help setting my fuel mixture screw on my KTM 450 EXC 2004 model. ive currently got it 2.5 turns out from closed. i think it might be a little rich, however the only symptoms i had of it being too rich, is that i barely need to use choke to start the bike...

Hey guys. I went to start my bike, and all of a sudden the bike died when I revved it a little. It did start again, but quickly died once again. I checked over the bike and did notice that the engine oil in the viewer glass was very low(previously it was 3/4 of the way full). I'm wondering if...

Is anyone able to tell me how tightening the steering head nut actually puts tension on the bearing, just out of curiosity? I tightened up the nut a little too tight where the bars were awfully hard to turn and was just wondering. Does the force of the nut tension push the bearing down the stem shaft, or does the...

Anyone know the colour code? or a paint color very similar to the frames found on the 2003-2004 KTM's? I need something that's relatively easy to get, as I'm located in Australia and I can't seem to find anything. I need to touch up a few areas and want to use a similar color, or same color if possible. Not...

Hey guys. Need a bit of help choosing sprocket sizes for street riding. The current stock gearing is 14/50, but I want a little less RPM when I'm cruising along the streets(I want the bike to not be so high in the rev range). I don't want to go too much smaller with the rear, as I will still be...

Hiya. I was thinking just before. If it would be worth me getting 17" wheels with a cush drive already on them? I heading towards getting an 18" laced up with a cush hub, but for a little extra, I'm wondering if its just worth getting the 17's instead. It works out to almost the same price as getting a...

hey guys. Just wondering about cush drives. Are they really necessary? Went to the KTM dealership today and was told that I shouldn't be riding my KTM EXC on the road without a cush drive hub due to excess transmission wear. Wondering if they are really needed? I don't ride on the highways, just local roads where speed limits don't...

hey guys. Looking at possibly changing the headlight bulb over to a 55/60w Halogen H4 from the stock 35/35w, for more light for when riding at night. Not looking at changing the types of lighting. Just wondering if it's ok to put higher wattage bulbs in, with no negative effects? And will the extra heat burn the plastic headlight reflector...

Hey guys. I have a bit of a problem. My wiring harness needs repairing if possible. What I want to know is how to get the wires out of that white plug in the photos? They seem to be locked in there. I can get a new plug housing I can put them in, but just need to get them...
