Hi Everyone...I've started a build on this super low hour stockish Ktm 300 Exc 2001..... this bike is the cleanest old bike I've ever bought.... I'm also starting a youtube blog with the rebuild...

I love the way this bike looks if frigging mean....what do you think?
So I brought this bike with no spark.... having had a few early 2000 ktms in the past I knew the position of the Cdi between the yolkes and the frame...was a dangerous place to be after a crash...especially when the lock stop had fell out.
So yes looking at this one and checking all the basic other outcomes....
I decided to buy a New Cdi.... so I Contacted Hpi in Belgium they were golden 3 days and it landed on my door step.....
Complete Oem replacement plug in and play...and yes we have a spark.....
Lol so I turned the fuel tap to ON...nothing
So I tried RESERVE....nothing.... on closer inspection after taking the fuel tap off it just disintegrated....like an Egyptian mummy's handbag... so that was fun had to rig a dummie tank up for the fire up while I awaiting a after market replacement....
The Shop
Not sure why there was no clutch but I popped the mastercylinder cap off and it was dry.... so I managed to locate a complete master cylinder ... and replaced that back bled the system and...Viola! We had clutch.....
My garage is a bomb site.....
More parts continue to turn up !( much to my wife's displeasure)
Not to much more to report problem wise I'm awaiting the wheels back from have some Fresh boots put on... then I will be diving into suspension service rebuild......
Strange to see DiD rims on this I thought Ktm used Excel
I may be wrong?

Pit Row
Finally looking a little bit more like a bike now....
Yes I've gone for the much loved Orange/Grey look.... 😀
Managed to pick up a New complete Ufo plastic set for £50 delivered...which I thought was a bloody bargain!
