But how many carwashes does he own?

Me too. He can be a real dick.

This post is a good example of how this system can go wrong, lol. My opinion is that adding an upvote-downvote system encourages people to say what others want to hear, rather than what they actually think. Kinda takes away from the discussion aspect of a message board.

I wish I could give you more than one down vote.

He doesn't like it because he knows nobody likes his opinions.

I fall under the average category and sold my 450 a few months back to buy a YZ250. Best decision I’ve made. Figured I’d be fine being slower on it since I only ride once every 2-3 months now. Ride it for the second time yesterday and had no problem staying with my dad and a few of his buddies, all of which are 45 and 50+ experts. Yesterday I learned that I was able to charge harder down the hills, stop quicker, have more control, carry more momentum everywhere and carry more speed through corners. And guess what, it...

Nope , it is technically a 2018 . Thanks though

Must have a small head if you cant figure this out!!!

Read the whole thing in the image posted at the top.

Maybe he didn't enter until late? (Never mind, just saw the one of his additional comments.) There were nearly 90 450 entries at Southwick. Maybe they hit the limit here?

Over the last 7 years, I've had 3 KTM's and currently own a Husky(all 2 strokes). Besides a failed stator on one of the KTM's, all have been extremely reliable. Since I'm a 2-stroke only guy, other than Yamaha, I wouldn't ever consider buying a Jap bike. Kawasaki, Suzuki and Honda simply don't offer anything I'm interested in buying. Until this changes, the Austrian's will continue to receive my $$

Pds chains need to be about falling off loose if you are jumping with them. Any kind of tight will cause this.

since nobody brought it up, maybe the swingarm bolt was over torqued bro.

Have to disagree. 3 years and have done nothing

My 04 kx125 15 hrs from brand new the one transmission bearing exploded wasting the left center case half and a couple tranny gears. Zero support from kawie the dealer would only offer 15% discount on parts. Was told sorry race bike no parts warranty.

I've owned 4 KTMs recently and every single one of them hate squirrelings equally.

Honda valves busted cylinder skirts Kawi 250 later models cranks. Oh we don't have a problem. And yes I owned those Hondas

I swear people search the internet looking for KTM failures just so they can post the pic on a forum and claim what crap they are. The quality is seen in the results of all forms of off road racing around the World. They are the most dominating manufacturer right now, just accept it.

Chain too tight would cause that sort of crack to show up at the countershaft. That bushed hole should me tight between the frame spars and the rest of the engine secured to the frame rails in the bottom. Maybe loose motor mounts and/or headstays but it would likely take them all. Could quite possibly have been the bushings were too tight an interference. Eddie's right, KTM builds better quality. I've been inside all of them and none of them, including Honda, do as good a job with fit and finish as the KTM guys do. This hasn't always been...
