I just read on TT that there will be definitely no 2020 GG models made & that GG NA are clearing out all the remaining bikes - even the Sprinter vans! Could be bs? It certainly is the end.

KTM Head Office just took over the remaining small percentage of the Australian importer, AHG, they didn?t own. Vertical integration = increased margin at every stage from production to after-sales service. Not saying this will occur in North America, but if it does, the first thing that will...

Not sure what the noise is, but the pv arm lock nut was backed out all the way on my ?18 EC250 after about 10 hrs. Whip the pipe off & have a gander behind the rhs pv cover to be sure.

Hi guys, Has anybody had their ?18/?19 KYB?s apart & if so, could you share the shim stacks please? Gibbo.

Had the pleasure of riding my brother?s ?13 EC300 - Nate had trued the crank & rebuilt it previously. Smooth as butter and very, very strong motor, bottom to top. Crucially, less vibes, too..

Go ride an ?18 Beta 2-t & tell me it?s ?garbage?. The OC fork is greatly improved over previous models & will work fine for trail riding for the majority of riders. I?ve had a KYB SSS fork on a previous Beta & my ?18 RR300 with a Sachs OC fork doesn?t make me miss that set up one little bit...

TM USA have taken delivery of the 2019 2-t?s..

Well, not recently - the last big flip was ghosting the TM up Devil?s Gorge about 4 years ago! A-ha-ha! Actually, your RR250 kinda went upside down up Jonathan?s Hill, so, technically, yeah..

Keg, thanks for the pep talk at the creek - you helped me push on & finish. I am still totally exhausted. What a track - it was brutal.

Mine went down to TSP twice as well. Also, after you rip the 5mm thick gasket, check the retainer nut on the PV actuator rod thingy - mine had backed out all the way down the thread.

Sweet as.

Before & after, squish 2.25mm stock, 1.35mm now. Jake, your compression will be in the mid-high 15?s if you shave a mm off and do nothing else. Ping & run-on almost guaranteed.

Perhaps there could be a GG app created that interfaces owners, dealers & the factory so upgrades, recalls & other technical info can be shared in a timely & efficient manner?

Leelee, I had shit jetting for 6 months - until I got my head cut. Lowered squish (1.35mm) & reshaped the bowl to keep comp at 13.5/1. Now, 42p/175m, NEDW #2, a/s 1.5, Motul 710 in 98RON. Tech s/t & rocks, 17c today. Bike is smooth, quiet & super-tractable. More low/mid power. Same bonkers...

Ha ha, classic! My Freeride 250 2-t hated starting from brand new. No kicker. I sold it at 5hrs, utter shitbox - $52AUD for a shock mount bolt. Sorry, rant over :)
