Lol, it's a pretty sweet bike. Surprised you can take a hard core dirt bike and plate it.

Just gotta lower it a bit more. It is not short people friendly.

Think I'm going to put the sport bike up for sale.

 

I hate you right now...

What year?

 

It's an 2008. First KTM dirt bike for me. Only have a super duke as my only KTM reference point. Curious how that rear shock takes bumps.

 

It's different, not bad, just different. Make sure you don't try to haul ass until you get a little bit of a feeling of it. They have a little more tendency to buck if your not careful.

Get a good suspension tunning and it will make a huge difference. It's even more important to have them tuned to the rider than link setups.

 

I had a Ktm 525 that was plated...looked like a straight up dirt bike...had Supermoto wheels for it too

 

Right. Have any good plans? I want to get out but we have also been traveling a lot so I want to stay home.

 

I'm going to get used to it as a reference point to see how I want the bike adjusted. Supposedly precision concepts did the shocks for the last owner. Feels very even between front and rear. Last owner was 200lbs and I'm only 175. Definitely sending these shocks out to have them dialed in for me.

If I miss doing street, I'll pick up some super moto wheels. It's cool because it feels like I shouldn't be on the road with this bike.

 

There is a small shop in my home town (Ramona) that specializes in KTM. They do all of our work and are good people. You could just bring the bike and have them dial it in for you.

Just another option if you're interested

 

Nice we can talk about that tonight.

 

If it's WP suspension it's a little weird at first, but you'll get used to it.

When you have the chance listen to Shane, get the bike re-sprung and revalved for your weight and riding style. But for now get a feel for the bike so you can get the suspension valved correctly.

I literally JUST saw this right before you posted it. Great minds.
Just need to figure out where to ship them to. Don't think my work or house is a good idea, they won't bring them up in an office building i don't think and i definitely don't want them chillin on my porch.

 

Hahaha. I think it's time to order my u built flip kit I've been putting off.

 

What are you going to get?

 

oh oh, can order together to save on shipping?

@desertjunkie760, Gonna get some leaf packs and ubolts

 

Set it up for delivery to your house, once you have tracking set it for "Hold at UPS" (if I remember they used UPS to ship my leafs) that way you pick them up at your convenience (within 5 days of being delivered to UPS)

 

Shipping is free

 

Gonna get some leaf packs

This is good to know.

 

Couldn't get that one by you

 

Yep. Anything I order that I don't want stolen I set for "hold at..." that way it won't sit outside while I'm at work.

Now that I think about it... Those shocks we just installed, what length are they? Are they for a 2-3" lift?

 

I like using that emoji, I had to seize the opportunity hahaha
