rob27ma Added a reply to Clearing out the ‘23s

5/22/2023 10:15am

I was trying to pickup a 2022 KTM 125 from a couple different dealers recently, and both were trying to hit me with $1,500-$1,600 in extra fees. I get having to charge some fees, but $500 for freight, $500 for prep, and $500 for a doc fee seemed crazy to me.

I see dealers are starting to get the bikes in stock, but I haven't seen any reviews on the 2024's yet. Really interested to hear how the XC models are and the new spring fork. Anyone seen any reviews yet?

I'm trying to find a leftover 2022 KTM 125 XC, but the only dealers I've found are trying to tack on ~$1,500 in fees after the rebates. If anyone finds a dealer with any 2022 KTM 125s at a reasonable I'd love to find out.

I'm looking for a leftover 2022 KTM 125 XC in the New England / Northeast region. Anyone know of any dealers or low hour bikes that might be available?

Thank you!

Does anyone know what aftermarket brake pads will fit a 2023 KTM 65? The new bikes have a larger caliper, and the OEM pads ( A40513030000) have been unavailable for months. If anyone has part numbers they could share it would be a huge help.

I'm looking for a new set of sockets and it seems all the sets include Metric and SAE. I really only need new Metric sockets so was hoping to find a good metric only set for moto. Anyone have any recommendations to look at?

That's mostly what I have now, but can't find any metric only sets now. Only sets with both SAE and Metric and 100+ extra useless small tools.

Hadn't thought of them. I'll take a closer look

Yeah, it ending up being the ball bearing basket and pressure plate. I noticed a little wear when I took it back apart again so swapped them and it finally seems to be working correctly again.

I have a 2021 KTM 50 with 55hours on it and we are having an issue where coming out of a corner, or from a dead stop, the bike has no power. Once the bike starts moving it hits what seems like the powerband and the bike takes off, but it is really slow moving to start. This issue just...

I'm thinking of buying a new Specialized Turbo Levo, and hoping to find a deal on one. Anyone find any good places online, or shops that will ship that have some deals available?

I think the bars and grips would have been enough. The bars in particular always seem to create more vibration. Another thing to try is the map switch setting. Map 1 seems to have less vibration to me as well.

Add some protaper fusion bars. I have a few newer KTMs and changing the bars is always one of the first things I do to help with the vibration and the feel of the bike, although there really shouldn't be much vibration on a new bike so you may have something else going on if this is the case.
