Difference between revisions of "KTM 500 EXC"

Revision as of 12:16, 22 January 2014

cold clutch doesn't fully disengage.
"shimmy" starting around 50mph which gets a little worse w/ more speed and settles into a cyclic on/off shimmy.
- Balance the wheels, 3oz in front and 3.75 in rear.

Fuel filter sock, put in tank cap area as a pre-filter.
Golan Fuel Filter $60 for filter and clamps. Use this to replace the small stock inline filters which tend to clog and stall the bike.
Woody's Wheels... ends up around $1900 for a "best" supermoto set of wheels.
LiteLock Rim Locks Cheap and lighter than stock, light enuf that you shouldn't need to balance the wheels according to some folks. 1.6 front and 2.15 rear.
Mousse/Bibs for going "airless", need to research pros/cons of this more. Sounds like they're heavier, do wear out, can generate heat...
DoubleTake Mirrors around $93 for a pair. I've also seen mirrors which fold into the hand guards, would like to compare the pros/cons of the Double Takes w/ those.
DirtTricks Cone Washer and rear sprockets and front sprockets $37: apparently these last long and are the way to go.
Acerbis Tanks
AP Racing PRF Brake Fluid: Apparently the best for not boiling.
MT21 50/50 tires: recommended by Chris at SBM.
