[QUOTE="chillywillyt, post: 437686, member: 32240"] Just a little suggestion here. Buy a used 65, and then purchase an auto clutch for the bike.....if you can purchase a used autoclutch 65 than that would be even better. I trust KTM dad, he seems real knowledgable, but you know your son better than us and I dunno, xr50 to a ktm65 clutch...might be a real hard transition and too many things to think about. The autoclutch is expensive, but so is motocross. I bet in a 6 month span you can take it off and sell it without much loss to some other up and coming kid. The main thing here is to make sure that Junior is comfortable with the bike, he will learn better IN MY OPINION if he isnt scared of the bike or confused. I do agree with KTMDAD on the point of letting your kid outgrown a bike. My son started on kx65's when he was 5 and raced 80's when he was 6.....that was pushing it a little but i pretty much let him dictate the pace. He is just turned 9 and is 4-8 and 80 lbs but doesnt even race 65's anymore because he says they feal too small. I have seen a lot of kids that were too big on bikes get really hurt because their legs were tangled up in the handlebars when they crashed from being too big. anyways, as always this is just my opinion and good luck [/QUOTE]
