After I started using this Sicass plastic plate holder I ceased bending up and destroying plates. It even worked for nearly a year on my 300 XC-W and survived racing crashes as well. Plate still looks new. And it was mounted in the horizontal position as well. Stu
Geek, yes, the man can be a pain. I use the copy on my 200 for hare scramble/dual sport. Usually the local fuzz are just glad your bringing some disposable income to the area & don't bother anyone unless being a total arse Stu, I will have to check sicass as I want to get my crf250x street legal so my nephew can come play w/ me.
The stock bolt is shouldered for those jokes KTM includes as hand guards. When you remove the shield, that's the shouldered bolt that remains.
The bike comes without the gaurds in place and they have the regular bolts in place. Ask your dealer for the stock bolts. They might have put them in your tool kit.
That's my normal riding area and mine runs like a champ up there. I've just done the de-smog and regeared to 14/48. No JD tuner and the stock map installed. The decel popping went away with the removal of the SAS and it just pulls strong from down here in the valley all the way up to the peak. Sorry to hear that you're having issues and I hope you get it sorted.
Yeah.. mine did too.. I just haven't changed it. My reply was to the statement "your clutch bolt is loose".
Tall seat options? has anyone found a taller seat for the 500? I want to change the ratio of bars to seat to pegs by sitting higher.
Geek, I have an enduro engineering tall soft seat...much more comfortable than stock. I've a 34-35" inseam, 6'2" Makes the sitting/ standing transition much better imo.
I have the hard parts xtra tall seat. It is very firm but does not have much mileage on it so i am reserving judgment for now. It does create an absolutely flat and level line from the top of the seat to the tank.
I had them do mine and they do great work plus there turn tiem is 2 weeks. I dont want to hurt Renazco's feeling but I cant wait months for a upolstry job at ths point. He did a full suede seat for me and it as good as renazco. they can make it just how you like it. If you need his # Geek PM me and I ll get it for you
Zuber, just been speaking with local KTM dealer. The only unrestricted map they have is '0601', they can't find '0701' on their KTM system. Can you confirm it was definitely '0701' that you had installed? Otherwise I'll need to see where I can get the '0701' from if the local dealership can't find it. Thanks.
0601 is what I have as well to install. I expect mileage to drop since the "idle" circuit will be richer. With my 525 I had to go richer on the pilot and get an entirely different needle from Sudco so it would start, hot or cold (20 degrees, for the most cold) with one or two kicks without choke. Tradeoffs. I'll take performance and easy starting any day, thank you. Stu
