It said let’s party bud! Cool
Stoked how well this bike handles and performs out of the crate, why didn’t I buy one of these sooner?
Any suggestions?? Parts, setup, sag, clickers, ignition map switch worth investing?

*Shoutout to KTM of Pittsburgh for the deal!

How is Switchback? I haven't been there for two years.

Nice scoot, I love my 150sx.

Nice buy. Have you thought about a Lectron carb? Worth it IMO.

If was me the first thing I would check is the metering block gasket in the carb isn't torn.
They have been coming torn from mikuni and if it's torn it allows the pilot jet and main jet circuits to bleed into each other making jetting a real bitch. I'm starting to see reports this gasket is torn on newer yz125's both the motocross and the new 125x. Jd jetting sales a stronger replacement gasket.

I would also check the reed block petals are sealing properly that's another known ktm issue on brand new bikes.

Pc pipe and long silencer is a massive gain in power and spread. Combine that with a lectron or jd keihin and the engines nearly flawless.

I like the idea of a Lectron - installed and ridden a few smokers equipped with. But not geeked about the choke being on the wrong side, heard of slides prematurely wearing, and the cast body seems chincy for the price.. Perfect or not, still beats the hell outta chasing brass and needles.

Came across these cats on ig, curious how they’ll stack up

PM me your OTD price if you will. I’m in the market for one of these.
