I just bought my son an 06 KTM Mini Adventure for $500 and need a few parts. This is our first KTM and I wanted to know if there was a good place that might have some of the parts I’m having trouble finding.

Thanks in advance!

Best luck I had was Chip Munn at Munn racing. Dude loves the sport and will help you any way he can!

I have a good bit of stuff leftover from the few we had, if you wind up needing something hard to find, I very well might have it.

Hey Matty, you've got a great little bike there. My son when he was 6, raced his mini for an entire season (42 races), on an 05, which is the same bike. To me, there will never be a better pee wee than that little machine. At the time, they offetrd a Sr size version as well, which we also used the following year. You could take one those as the air cooled version, add a couple pieces from the liquid cooled race versions of the 50 line, and have a very solid, reliable, affordable bike for your kid to compete with. With a pipe, bigger carb, and some talent sprinkled in, a kid could really piss off some rich Dads with top shelf 50's they have dropped thousands more on.
Chip at Munn racing helped me with parts, and I'm sure he could help you find what you would need. Those bikes used spring clutches, instead of the usual mess of washer stacks. My setup that NEVER failed my son was that instead of having to go to a high revving clutch, I just replaced his springs with stock every 30 days, regardless of riding time. I used the stock carb off the H20 version of that bike (4mm bigger), jetted of course, and used NOTHING but Type F auto trans fluid on the clutch. The F type was designed back in the days of cars weighing 4000 lbs plus, and not having overdrive either, so it can withstand tons of abuse and heat. The clutch shoes I would replace every 2 months, and they could have lasted far more to be honest. I used the stock pipe, after trying a bigger one, it just wasn't more anything more than noisy. Stock those bikes were around 7 or 8 hp, our version was probably 9 or so, which was more than a small child needs. These new 50's are producing numbers that are greater than some of the early H20 minis from the 1980's.......
Keep the carb clean, check the spokes, because if memory serves it should have steel rims. Mine never really loosened all so much, my fear was them getting stuck due to excessive baths! It's a tame, bulletproof bike, I would easily put up against a PW for durability. Perfect pee wee, I really regret selling his, When you go to sell it, call me. I would love to have a replica of his old one in my office.
BTW.... It loved 91 pump gas, and Motul injector oil. Ran its best with those 2 guys. Never fouled a plug, used stock everything, including sprockets. Top 3 bike thats been in my life, and was never mine.

My biggest issue right now is the front axle and spacers and rear brake pedal both of which are discontinued. I also need a chain guide, slide and throttle tube or full replacement assembly. I just picked the bike up from a buddy last night and my 5 year old son and I spent 3 hours getting it somewhat together before it was bed time haha. He’s stoked and wants to ride it so bad. I’ve spent close to 7 hours searching for an axle and brake pedal with no luck so far :/

I know how much those days with my dad meant to me growing up so I can’t even imagine what they meant to my dad and what they meant for you as well. My kids starting to ride more has been so awesome and I can’t wait to have those same times and memories with them that I had with my dad. Even being 30, I still very much enjoy those days riding with my pops.

Thank you for all the info on the bike! I swore up and down I’d never buy my a non PW 50cc, but here I am having just bought a KTM so now he’s got both Laughing

I am almost positive I have the front axle and spacers, but I thought the adventure came stock with no rear foot brake? I am almost positive I had to order a kit to convert ours to a foot controlled rear brake instead of a hand controlled. Chip got me that conversion if I'm remembering correctly. I'll look when I get home, but you're welcome to anything I have that you can use. I'm all about getting new riders in, I know how much riding has helped me though a ton of things and I hope it does the same for more kids!

I went and poked around in my spare parts room last night and I think I have almost everything for a complete bike except a front wheel. I did notice the rear foot brake pedal on this frame, so I should have dang near everything you need. 👍

Also need a pipe. Found out the pipe my buddy put on was from a 50sx and the shape it completely different and doesn’t fit properly. Scrapes the head and doesn’t sit against the cylinder properly.

Think PVK is closed after a quick search.

Check with Chip at Munn KTM.

I’ll check my parts box, I know there’s some stuff for that bike in there. I can’t remember exactly what but I can toss whatever’s there in the mail, unless your down this way anytime soon. He’s going to have a blast on that thing Cool
