No pictures yet. So I placed a ad looking for blown up KTM's (I was looking for winter project)
Within a couple of weeks I acquired a KTM 250 XCW rolling chassis, no engine.
2 days later I came across a 1990 CR500 engine.
Now the fun begins.
I decided that I want to build a newer looking KTM with a CR500 engine.
Items ordered within the last 2 days
-FMF fatty & silencer
-Boyesen rad valve
-41mm Keihin Carb
-2013 KTM Black plastic kit (Found a 2013 250 SX tank locally "cheap")
Tore down the topend tonight and it has a Gen 5 wiseco 89.5mm piston and looks like the ports have been cleaned up a little (nothing changed)
I will be sending the jug off for porting this week.
Question - what brand of piston is everyone using these days? I was thinking of using a Vertex (I have no issue with these pistons in my KTM's)
I'm getting Graphics built for this bike, not sure what to call this thing
KTM 500 R
KTM 500 SX
KTM 500 SX-R
Currently looking for a set of radiators.
Frame conversion wont start for a couple week.
Another KTM CR500 conversion
Another KTM CR500 conversion
2002 CR500 AFC
