500 EXC Issues

  • 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.

Parts

  • Fuel filter sock, put in tank cap area as a pre-filter.
  • Recluse: $900 retail, SBM? + about 90min to install. Do at an oil change.
  • GPR steering damper $495 (KTM EXC 13-14 Fat Bar: 9001-0078) $450@SBM.
  • Skid Plate
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Tires:
  • Wheels:
    • Warp9 around $1K for a full setup including rotors and caliper spacer.
  • Mousse/Bibs for going "airless", need to research pros/cons of this more. Sounds like they're heavier, do wear out, can generate heat...
