sweet. hard to tell but it might be a timesert. glad i only have 1 stripped hole because these things are a pain in the ballz. some brands have a special thread pitch so you have to buy their tap, fukin gay . i made the mistake of getting a metric one, gotta have a 14m x 1.5 tap which has to be special ordered , probly gotta have a special metric drill bit too . the dude that stripped it id like to kick him in the face

ktm cases dont crack like hondas . interesting thing about ktm back in the day is the
cases were individually matched to each other at the time of production.
they have a matching number scribed into both case halves from the the person at the factory.
im thinking they were alittle more hand built than the hondas.

some of that statement could be true. ktm struggled for years just to keep their head above water.
the bikes were probly built in barns compared to hondas big factories with high tech machinery.
still ktm got some good reviews from the magazines depending on the year. their main drawback for years was
notchy trannys and clutch, by '95 i think they had "most" of the tranny issues worked out.
clutch action still wasnt quite on par with honda but it wasnt far off, thats part of the reason why i went with jap plates.
ktm seems to be doing much better today . not sure when the 350 is coming out but from what ive read its going to be a hot bike.
you can bet alot of dudes trade in thier honda for one . the 300 2stroke got alot peoples attention, not my cup of tea but sounds like they sold a bunch.

Wouldnt cutting fluid have been a better choice than anti-sieze?100hp honda wrote:insert, sleeve, bearings retainer whutchu talkin bout homie ? i used antiseize/lubricant on the tap when i cut the new threads . then cleaned everything up with brake cleaner afterwards. guess i should of explained the procedure alittle more in detail, seems a few folks are confused
heck, back in high school, we used motor oil for thread cutting, and it works titties.

i would have used bearing retainer or sleeve retainer because they are anaerobic and will keep the oil from creeping thru the threads and leaving a damp, dust holding mess
