My buddy has a 1998 KTM 620 he brings along on most ridding trips. Its a nice powerful bike but seems a little stiff compared to a stock cr or yzf. I've worked on the bike many times, maintenece and what not. But every time I go to start the 620 I'm reaching to the left side. Now I'm not saying thats bad, its more like throwing a baseball with your left hand if you're right handed. But I am wondering why? The original owner said it is because it was made to be sold in Europe. But he is a truck driver and the facts are the facts. Hopefully you KTM guys will help me out.
