I have just got my 02 520 home and am in the process of getting it ready for the Rusty Demons annual adventure to Southern Utah at the start of May.
We had riding around here (warm temps/no snow) until the day I picked the new bike up. I got it home after dark and took it for a ride because I knew that it could be my only chance for a while. Then it snowed for 2 days straight!
So now I have a shiny bike in the shop and I'm fitting some of the upgrades off the KDX onto the KTM. The bar clamps are adjustable and I'm trying to fit the Ohlins (identical to Scotts) steering damper on. The pivot point of the damper has to line up with the center of the steering head. With bars in the far forward position it just won't happen.
Any ideas? I know the Honda Baja guys mount the damper backwards so the fixed tower is in the front instead of at the back. Is there a product to adapt it?
Just sitting on the bike tells me that the 4th position would be right for me. I am 6'+ and long limbed and like a forward bar position - in fact I don't think I have ever heard anybody say that their handle bars were too far forward.
