[QUOTE="magneto, post: 1272367, member: 26124"] This is the first KTM I have owned. I bought it several months ago and it seems to be in really good shape. I rebuilt the top end with the SX modification mainly because I wasn't sure how many hours the bike had on it. The SX conversion costs only around $100 more than a normal top end service since the only thing extra you have to buy is the head. As far as I can tell my machine is completely stock except for the suspension which has been revalved by Bruce Suspension and slightly leaner jetting on everything except the main jet. I run Mobil 1 Synthetic 2 Stroke oil at 32:1. I also added a pair of Moose brush guards to the handlebars. You need to spend a lot of time setting your suspension up. The KTM suspension is MUCH more finicky about setup than the japanese stuff. The correct shock spring rate and preload is CRITICAL on KTMs with the linkless suspension. Do a search for "GOLDEN RULE" on [url]www.ktmtalk.com[/url]. Note that sag changed on the 03-04 KTMs and static should be in the 45-50mm range and rider sag should be in the 115-120mm range. If you are outside this range, you need different spring. My KTM suspension was horrible when I got the bike. One problem I found was that the triple clamp bolts that retain the forks were too tight and were binding the fork movement. Get a KTM manual (available on CD) for your bike. Good places to buy KTM parts are [url]www.motosport.com[/url] and [url]www.munnracing.com[/url]. [/QUOTE]
