[QUOTE="jeb, post: 113012, member: 16219"] Weight difference between your WR400 and the electric start KTM 400EXC is negligible. My buddy has one and we weighed the bikes with empty tanks back to back. Within a pound of each other. I have more junk on my bike (enduro computer, etc) so I figure the KTM is really 4 or so pounds lighter. No big deal. In the woods, though, the feeling of weight is vastly different. The WR appears to carry it's weight high and it pushes the front end badly in sharp corners. The KTM feels 40 pounds lighter in the tight stuff. The power is brutally in the Yamaha's corner. The KTM has a wonderful powerband for the woods where the WR is just too much for 99% of us. The KTM feels a little soft down low until you install the OCEMN needle, though. I raced a 99 250EXC before I got the 400. Also a great bike which I loved to ride. 15 or so pounds lighter but I don't notice it in the woods. The 400, with 18mm clamps, turns better than the 250 did. [/QUOTE]
