General Two Stroke Talk / 500 thoughts

« on: June 12, 2013, 03:05:11 AM »

I have a 96 Kx500 it is a unstoppable beast. I just got back from a trip in the mountains, 41 bikes most of them Honda 450's, my KX and a Ktm 300 were the only smokers. The 500 laid a beating on every 450 up there! Your friends will hate you cause their 8k bikes can't hang with "a old heavy tank".
We looked up weight at lunch after a morning of the monster stomping them, 96kx500 weighs 220 dry not any heavier then their new 450's!
I am leaning towards a KTM for my conversion only because the two 500Afs I have ridden both vibrated so bad. I have heard the Ktm frames are lighter then the Af frames and steel is the safer bet for the average fabricator. Get one you won't regret it!

General Two Stroke Talk / KTM Fuel Injection.

Wow that's disappointing to read. All KTM reps should know better then to allow this kind of crap to be spewed out. He needs to be let go. Maintenance harder? I would like a explanation on how replacing a top end would be any different? I have a FI 2t happy to report my top end is as easy as ever to replace! Tuning with FI = a laptop, much easier and would only need to be tweaked for people with mods. Anyone who picks a 2t over a 4t now knows most motor issue's are caused by people's inability to jet for temp and elevation changes, FI fixes this. More expensive? Yeah maybe but not a bunch. These parts needed are readily available and mass produced. FI has been around for a long time. It seems weird to me that the 2T dirtbike market is left in the dark ages on this. Conspiracy, agenda, traverstry, maybe a gross injustice.....sarcasm aside, that explanation by a KTM rep is an insult to every 2T fan.
