Its funny you mention the gear, as I don't take care of my riding gear nearly well enough...  I guess I send too much time cleaning and polishing my bike...   :o  Maybe I need to pay a little more attention to my gear...

Shoot, I'll have to clean the spiders out of my boots, and use an airhose to clean off my helmet. My bike has taken a little while to get up and going (if you know what I mean).

I've had no problems with my 09 250sx. I'm no A rider though.
  The 09 250sx,s head explodes into pieces, the new models have a thicker head. I know of a Florida rider that this happened to, his dealership got him a new cylinder,head,powervalve, but it took along time to get the parts, and a answer from KTM.

I keep my bikes clean, but probably not as clean as some of you guys. I pressure wash all the big stuff off, spray it with Simple Green, let it sit 5-10 minutes and hit it with the pressure again. Then I dry and lube the chain and inspect the bike so it can be ready for the next ride. I'm done in 15 minutes usually. That 15 minutes obviously doesn't include tranny oil changes or air filter maintenance.

Mine is great as well, no problems at all.....once the jetting is sorted.
I do hate the fact they fit 3 different types of heads on their bolts. Why do they need a Hex, Allen and Torx fittings and sometimes a combo of 2 ?

KTM over engineers their stuff.  You should see the design of my 1984 KTM 495 engine, overly complicated with lots of tiny parts.
Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.

It would be good to see a long term test of the 09 KTM SXs

The proportions on that Husqvarna are all kinds of weird.  It's like they took the radiator shrouds and gas tank from a full-size bike and just dropped them onto the minibike.  And the angle on that shock!  That's really something else to behold!


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?
