randbagger Added a reply to EZ-Ups and VIP Sections Ruin the Fan Experience
8/26/2026 7:27am Been attending races in the So Cal sun since the 1970’s. Part of the expierence is getting there when the gates open and staking a claim to provide some shade. I agree Ez Ups lining the fence is a bummer. Hangtown has many terraces that allow Ez Ups while still allowing direct at the fence watching. More of this setup...

8/6/2026 7:05am The Aluminum tank was made to fit a 250 not a 125. Kawasaki made 1 tank to fit both 125 and 250.

8/6/2026 7:04am Gcrites, Maybe you and my photo tell the correct story. The tank was fitted on a 1991 250. The depression for the coil seemed to be the location of the interference. Did the coil get relocated on the 1991 125? Do both 1991 and 1992 250’s have the coil in a different location from the 125’s?

8/1/2026 8:05am For larger areas to be welded, soaking case in acetone is the method approved by a welder competent enough to successfully repair clutch actuator bores behind countershafts.

7/28/2026 10:07am This current part number can provide a workable lower brake line guide. Any details on shock upgrade?

7/28/2026 9:36am Well since I found the spot, I will post the project that I did with my son. This started in Covid but we were never able to find any good base bike. I wanted more that just paint and replace parts. With items of this age, there is slways more than meets the eye. We saw this bike run and...

7/28/2026 7:53am Now I know where all the great vintage bike builds went. After COVID and the passing of Newman, The Old School section was never the same. I blamed it on the youth. This is amazing work. I know the build is not there yet, but which methods / sources are used for fenders / number plated that will fit in...

6/6/2026 1:38pm I have a set of Duyba wheels with what I believe are Haan hubs on my 2020 KTM 300 XC-W. I had an issue with the wheel spacers right and left. The spacers in the wrong position would not allow the caliper to mount centered on the disc. Easy check.

randbagger Added a reply to LED headlight options for KTM?
5/19/2026 10:29am I had an old Baja Designs Squadron light with a mask for a 2014 KTM. I called them up on the phone and was able to purchase a headlight mounting plate to fit my 2020 KTM. The newest versions of the Baja Designs lights take the pounding of years in Baja without missing a beat.
randbagger Added a reply to One click, no start, at my wits end
5/15/2026 7:07am For general knowledge about KTM products. When reviewing a similar issue, I found this situation. I have a ‘24 KTM 500 EXC. In 2024 with about 5 hours of run time, the starter would engauge but not turn over the motor. It would produce kind of a ugh groan. After hitting the button several more times it always started. Mind...
randbagger Added a reply to YZ250 transmission-reuse vs replace (gears inside)
4/20/2026 7:26am With a transmission, I have been told that there are gear mating issues on 2 surfaces. There are the gear teeth and the shifting dogs and their corresponding pockets. To resolve shifting issues, any visible disruption on dog or the pocket edge needs to be replaced as a pair. ( dog and pocket) Now from a gear running longevity perspective...
