RFS rake angle

[HGaither]

Has KTM made any changes to the steering head angle in the last 2 years or would you still need the offset triple clamps to make them turn?

 

[overbore]

yes in my opinion as my sons dont turn worth a hoot.

00-03 all have the same 20mm offset angle except the 03 450SX and 125SX which have 14mm. 03 525SX I thought was suppose to have those too but it doesn't. Since the 03 EXC/MXC got the 5mm wider forks and 6mm wider axle, it SEEMS that the front wheel was pushed out another 5.5mm (half the total change). So does that mean they're really the same as a 25.5mm offset compared to last year? No one knows yet, or at least they're not saying. That would kind of make sense given the dramatic difference on some of the 03 SX models to 14mm as it would pull them back to 19.5mm.

I had 18's on my 01 400E and I was going to get 18's for my 03 450E but I'm on the fence now. I'll probably wait a bit and see what Applied, etc comes up with.

I talked with Applied yesterday and they said they have already got the new bikes all measured and have products coming but they wouldn't say anything specific yet.
