Guys are constantly parting out bikes on ktmtalk.com. That would be a good place to look.

Haven't seen anyone part out a new 300 e-start yet. Good idea though, would be a sweet ride.

I might not need the e start but it would be nice for the expert trails around here.

Due to Engine Numbers No (Motorcycle) Manufacturer sells complete engines.

KTM is testing an aluminum frame now, but they are also testing a new CM steel frame.

Honda does.. We bought a brand new complete engine for a TRX450 quad last year to race the Baj500. It was cheaper than rebuilding the whole thing. Well not cheaper, but pretty close. They give you a CRT of origin for the engine, and you just update your registration.

They don't sell motors but if they did they would cost as much as the complete bike. His suggestion was to buy a clapped out 300 or 250 and rebuild. The 300 cylinder slips on the 250 cases.
