So I finally got my 2012 Raga and was able to take it out for 1 day before the rain then winter mix hit. Great bike. Amazing handling. I can't imagine a trials bike being any better, except for the little kid sized kick start. I know saving weight is key but they could have made the thing a...

Word is that the 38 will be fine for that as well. I run a PWK 39 on a KTM 200 with no problems when it's tight. But I'm sure the 36 will be good too if you want to wait.

Is that an EStart and linkage bike? If so then yes it is in the ball park. But then what park is the 270lb 300 in?

I was curious to compare apples to apples rather then light weight MX KTM to and Enduro GasGas and asked if anyone had weighted their KTM 300XC or XC-W on another forum. I got this. No Linkage so you an add at least 5 lbs. >>Just weighed my 2006 300 XCW. gassed up, head and tail light...

A few years ago I road a modified '99 BMW 1100GS on trails for a while. It weighed about 500lbs. I could pick it up when I fell, which was fairly often. Didn't have a choice you know. I wouldn't have added "fine" to it but.. So if that is the indication of acceptable weight then there is...

Maybe so many people are obsessed with weight because GasGas publishes 224 pounds as dry weight for all their 300s whether they have an Estart or not, and if you add your 23lb number that's 247lbs which is a long way from 270lbs. A few little add-ons like a Reklus are not going to add up to to...

Are the frames different on the GasGas 125/200s and the 250/300s ? My 200KTM in an 07SX frame is quite a bit lighter than my 2013 250SX. They beef up the frame on the 250/300s. Plus my 250 has linkage which weighs at least 5 lbs more and maybe 8. 2013 250Sx 215 or 216 dry. KTM published and...

Having never been married how exactly did that work? I mean what did you do, say "Here Honey spend a few hours reading through this thread and I'm sure it will become clear to you too that this SC thing is worth checking out" ? Or did you explain the possible mechanical innovation of the...

The engine has to be built for higher octane to get results from higher octane. Otherwise is will actually run worse. Then once you get the head milled for high octane you are stuck running super expensive fuel. On the MX track it might be nice but in the woods it's probably not worth it...

He did head work on my KTM 200SX. It runs great. I have never heard anyone complain about his work. I'll use him again. Head work is usually the best bang for the buck you can get.

Hmm? Don't know what to say about that. When I spoke with him and on several posts at Ktmtalk a month ago he said they didn't have a solution yet. I suggested trying some kind of vacuum activated valve and he said that was along the lines they were thinking. All that was way into the two...

I called the owner today and talked to him about what I was thinking. He said the quick throttle comes with a #25 cam. He also said that my KTMs will fit all the other cams without modification. I guess KTM uses Domino throttles. Does Gas Gas too? In the end I'm getting 4 cams so I can play...

Which cam are you using?

Maybe that is their solution at this point. When I wrote the summary, about a month and a half ago, there was no mention of check valves. Glad they figured something out. On the 38 vs 36mm, I was just repeating what they told me at SC. But they also said that a 38 should work fine. KTM...

Thanks for the info. Even after 2 emails from them last night I still didn't understand. Now it is clear. Not sure why they can't explain it that simply. I was going to get extra cams but now that I think about it I'm not not really sure why I would want a less responsive throttle. I was...
