Duh.............

:p Hmmmm ok well let me see, Michelins are not trick, nor are the GRIPs, CROSSBAR PAD, HAND GUARDS or BRAKE PADS.........:moon:

If you wanna really make your bike stand out tear it down completely and have the main frame (steel portion) powder coated another color. Or better yet have it dipped in chrome and put a set of CHOLO-STYLE chain link bars on it woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p :moon:

Whow - that sounds like lots of work. I'm not interested in making my bike stand out - in fact I took off all the graphics and replaced all the orange plastic with black. Just inteseted in trick parts that have a function.
I would like to do the frame in black though.

If it was me tricking out the KTM I would revalve the suspenion and put bib mousse tubes in the tires first. If you really want the best, then get the KTM WP SXS suspension components with the hard surfacing for maximaum small bump absorption (~$3000).

EE = Enduro engineering

the clutch lever he is refering to has a needle bearing instead of the stockers ****ing. also the leverage ratio is changed to ease clutch pull. have you thought of doing your suspension (different valving, ect.) I ordered a shim kit for my forks and really liked the result. much plusher on the small square edged stuff. But still offered good bottoming resistance (after raising the oil height)

Dump the Renthals; replace with TAG tapered bars (no cross bar). Add some Applied triple clamps (upper and lower), and get some Summers Racing handguard mounts that bolt to the triple clamps. While you're at it, get an Excel/Talon wheel set with the gold wheels and hubs, because they're shiny and cool. This will only set you back a couple thousand, which should leave room for a W.E.R. shock bladder, some EBC brake rotors to replace those weak stock rotors, and some eRider billet aluminum levers.

Enjoy!

Applied Triple clamps.
Carbon-fiber skid plate, disk guards, fork guards, hand guards, and front fender brace.
Baja designs lighting kit
re-valved suspension
and how about some high-octane only engine mods.

Thanks to all for the replies.
What is the best way to improve the front end without spending $3000.
I have an 02 125 exc (same forks as 200).
Could you give me some detail on what improvements will do and where to purchase. I'm happy with the rear shocks but the front forks seem a little harsh on a square edge hit.

Yea, those HID systems are really trick. You can get one that mounts on your helmet too. It's smaller but everytime you turn your head the light is pointing where you look. If you hav'nt seen one it will blow you away with how bright they are.

Scotts had a deal with a stabilizer, pro-tapers, & top triple clamp for $600. I was satisfied with the forks but had EE re-valve the shock for more plushness. Works great and was only $100. Mud riders will benefit from a solid rear rotor. Instead of wasting a new set of pads in a single mud race/ride, I can now go 5-10 rides.

Slap the FMF AOF ignition on that puppy and hold on. Even though there's not much of a difference between the Torque and Boost settings, they make for quick throttle response/pull harder/pull farther.:scream:

As far as suspension tuning goes, you might ask riders in your area who they've had do their suspension work. I've had good luck with Factory Connection in the past. When you have the work done, be as complete as you can about your iding terrain and riding ability (BE HONEST!!!), that way they can do the best job possible. Take the time and get the best settings for you. Set the sag front and rear, and keep a log book of your clicker settings. The front forks are the most important performance part on your bike. Remember it is better to set your suspension to fast over 50 small bumps in one mile than it is to be set up for that one big bump in a mile. I have heard that Enduro Engineering also does good work on KTM, but have no first hand experience.
