I am considering moving my son to a KTM 65SX, can anyone tell me the differences on the bike in the years 2002 - 2006 ??

Thanks

well 2002 had an entirely different motor. 2003 had the reeds in the case and a new ignition from 02. Also inverted forks from marzocchi. starting in 2004 you get the really small rear brake that eats pads. 2006 has a new ignition If you can afford it the 2006 is what I'd get and then buy the 03 rear brake system if your rules allow. All you need is the caliper and bracket and your pads will last much longer. The 04-06 rear brake system is the same as a mountain bike. If it came down to a 03,04,05 that were all fairly clean I'd buy the 03, save the few extra dollars and buy some goodies or redo the motor.

That's good. I just got a clean 03 for my son.
