3/20/2022 4:18am How about they reduce the number of riders that qualify for the main down to 15?

If you're lapped twice you should pull out of the race as you have become a race hazard.

rob27ma Added a reply to KTM 2-Stroke Engine Noise, Help Diagnose
10/4/2021 4:34am Ended up being the main bearing on the clutch side. Replaced all the bearings and installed a new crank and now everything seems to be working good again.

rob27ma Started a new thread KTM 2-Stroke Engine Noise, Help Diagnose
9/20/2021 9:12am 2019 KTM 250 XC with 80 hrs. The bike started to make this noise with less than 20hours on a new piston. I installed a new piston, clutch plates, and reeds hoping it would resolve the issue, but it did not. I rode the bike for about 15 minutes since installing the new parts and the noise seems louder now...

rob27ma Started a new thread Marks on new Piston??
7/24/2021 11:04am Just put a new piston in my KTM 250, rode it for about 10 minutes, then pulled the exhaust to take a look. Upon inspection I noticed these strange wear marks on the piston. Should I be concerned? The bike runs perfect, but it does seem to make more noise than the engine should. This was the reason I initially...

rob27ma Added a reply to Marks on new Piston??
7/21/2021 4:12am 93 pump fuel, which I've always ran with this bike with no issue. The knocking noise seems to happen more on the lower idle than the higher side.

7/21/2021 4:11am The whole piston was gray, which was different than the other Vertex pistons I've used before.

rob27ma Started a new thread KTM Valve Clearance Question
4/28/2021 9:25am I just checked the valve clearance on my 2019 KTM 350 SXF. The valves seem to be in spec, but they are near the limit on one end so I'm curious if I should adjust now, or leave them for a while longer. Intake limit is 0.10mm -0.15mm, I measured them at 0.11 and 0.13 Exhaust limit is 0.13mm -...

4/28/2021 4:24am Thank you for confirming! I went ahead and ordered the OEM so hopefully it'll be here next week.
rob27ma Started a new thread 2019 KTM 350 SXF spark plug cap replacement options
4/27/2021 4:01pm I just broke my spark plug cap on my 2019 KTM 350 SXF. Do I need to use an OEM part, or can I use a NGK replacement. I tried searching online but couldn’t confirm. Trying to fix for the weekend and the OEM won’t be here until next week, but it looks like NGK options are available at the...

rob27ma Added a reply to WD40 for chain lube
4/22/2021 9:00am I switched last year and it's been working great. I was using motorex and maxima chain lubes before, but I found the WD40 keeps the chain cleaner and seems to stay on longer.
rob27ma Added a reply to portable generators ?
4/2/2021 7:35am Depends on how many watts you think you'll need, but I had a Champion 3100 watt for a couple years and it worked well, but it was more then I needed so I switched to the Honda 2200 generator last year: https://www.amazon.com/Honda-EU2200iTAG-2200-Watt-Generator-CO-Minder/d… They are a little pricier than some of the alternatives, but I've been really happy with the switch.
rob27ma Added a reply to Switching from TwinWalls to Fatbar
11/30/2020 10:30am I'd try the pro taper fuzion bars. To me they have a lot more flex than the Twinwalls. The fatbar has more flex as well, but I like the look of the crossbar so I've been running these for a couple years now.
rob27ma Added a reply to Ktm sx-e 5 question
9/29/2020 6:29am We have the electric KTM and just picked up a 21 50 SX for racing. I prefer the electric one for maintenance, and my son is easily faster on it. The only downside is the battery length, but it hasn't been that bad. When we ride at tracks they break up moto's between big bikes and little ones, so when...
rob27ma Added a reply to Ktm sx-e 5 question
9/29/2020 6:20am On a full moto track, my son is getting about 20-25 minutes in speed 6 on softer tracks. On hardpack tracks he can stretch it 30 minutes. For skill level I would say he is on the more advanced side for the bike. We have a little track in our back woods and he can ride on that for an...
rob27ma Started a new thread New Gear Bag Recommendations
6/19/2020 11:20am Looking for recommendations for gear bags that can hold a couple sets of gear. I currently have a Fox 180 bag that I'd like to replace, and so far the Ogio 9800 is at the top of my list, although the price is a little steep. The best price I've found on this one specifically is on Amazon for $250...

I've seen a few of the Husky ebike at the track. Feedback is that the kids love them. They look plenty fast too. I'd buy one over a 2 stroke any day. Frigging 50/65 race bikes are a lot of maintenance. Glad those days are over. Hammer
