Hi have now converted my 625 SC SM, year 02 to the new rear ( 06), but still left the original ESD and Krummer on it, because of $$$$$$$$$. (Noch Azubi). Now I have a KTM with a Akra double system and was the end of the song=== boah, which also needed. Now a few questions: 1. What can you recommend? Akra, Sebring or Leovince. 2. Is there ABE for the bags. (Hab ne 625 SC SM, but is entered in the note that it is ne 640) 3. Can I start with only one install ESD (from the double system), which fits on the crusher of the 625 SC year of construction 02, or I also have to buy the crusher of the 06. Thanks already in advance. Greeting Patrick

Hope here someone can help me with his experience.I want to buy my first motorcycle soon, just don’t know which is the better, or easiest for me. actually I wanted to have the duke 2 with 54 ps, but in the reports on the internet things like : jerks on it highway, or you have to sound too much in the city, and that it comes up at the front very quickly. have then looked further and found the 950 sm with 98 ps. the 950 is with 98 ps twice as sc hnell, but also twice as heavy.. hope someone can give me a good tip what a beginner might be the better….

Hey guys, I’m a hobby-happy enduro rider. My fun machine is a Ktm XC 525. On the last tour it’s then apparently I’m coming home wash the ktm off and discover that the oil glass is broken. That must have happened about 1 hour before the end of the tour. Then I opened all the drain screws and there was only about 100ml of oil in the engine. But I came home without having noticed anything. What would you miss me?

Hello together, after having discovered the fun of riding a motorcycle at my old age (>40<45), I bought a little DT 125 RE last year. Drive a little bit to work, that's all it should be. But now I have to realize that somehow too little power is sitting under the tank. So the decision is clear, something bigger has to happen. I agreed with my wife that (unfortunately only!) it can go off next year. By chance I am on an offer for a KTM LC 400 Military came up. Financially quite interesting, performance should be sufficient, color can be changed, but can one of you give me tips on what I should pay attention to when buying? After all, I am really not a specialist in motorcycle matters. Among other things, the height of the mesh appeals to me (I am more than 190 cm tall) and also brings an almost normal weight on the scales. In addition, I find Enduros from house already more interesting than "Rennziegen". Amit doesn't want to drive on the ground... maybe over dirt roads or dgl. but for everything else I'm probably already too old *grins* Or are there other interesting enduros that I haven't come across yet? already thanks for your tips! JJ

Hello guys! Have a question for you. According to KTM the Leovince SBK system or rear silencer should lose 12hp! Now I just wanted to know if someone with the Leovince already has experiences, because had thought of buying the part. It would be nice if someone would answer! Greetings Hiemer Power

Hello dear community, I’m new here in the forum and I haven’t found a solution for my problem so far, so I quickly explained my problem with my KTM LC4 400 bj. 96. My KTM didn’t kick on anymore, so I just wanted to adjust the valves and I noticed that the outlet valves don’t move. Then I wanted to take a look at the camshaft and I noticed that the tilting lever for the outlet valves is broken. E I have already found a replacement, but do I need to know why the tipping lever is just so broken? Are the valves hit on the piston? Thanks already in advance Miklas

Hello to everyone am new here and have a big problem, It is a KTM EXC 250 2T Mj 2006 To the background: I had the engine overhauled in winter (pistons, KW bearings etc.) it was only the engine gone, so without frame and attachments when I had assembled everything again it went naturally on test drive, ran also everything well, something strange was only that it needed significantly more fuel than before. During the 2 test ride the problems started: I am a bit u I then changed the candle at home and then it ran again. At the next exit the same problem, no gas acceptance and again nothing went on. I then checked the membrane and found that they did not close properly. So then new membrane came in and now nothing at all. Have the Zün dfunken controlled and had to find out that there is no one there anymore!!!!! Therefore I measured the ignition coil and this was defective. Secondary winding had a resistance in the M/ohm range, instead of in the K/ohm range. Ok other ignition coil in and it at least jumped on, ran about 20 sec and then went out with a misignition. After that I changed the ignition box (was from an SX 250 2003) and it did not jump on. Good still remained the ignition current and ignition coil. measured to resistance and the values were in the target areas Ignition current coil approx. 15 ohms Ignition source coil approx. 100 ohms. I also changed the complete carburetor to exclude it, but it still didn’t start. Now I slowly don’t know any more and ask myself the question how a secondary winding of the ignition coil can break? Had someone ever had such problems or do you have another tip what I can check. Thanks

Hello Together in the round, unfortunately again a troublesome problem with my newly acquired 625 Supercomp. Built 02. The Keihin FCR 41. I already had a LC4 in the past, but never so problems to bring the thing to life.I want to say that I don’t necessarily belong to the bloody kicker beginners. The problem is the car constantly sucks off me. I start as follows: – Kick to OT. – Kick with decoration slightly over OT. – Tap on. – Choke on. – And d ann with ladles purely long. Unfortunately, man only tried max. 2 and then she just doesn’t want to make any more mucks. Then I turn the candle out she is clinking. You could now quickly tip on too big LLD or too fat idle mix. BUT when she starts the first time I have to screw up the stand gas despite Choke because she otherwise dies me. If she then has run 5 minutes, she runs like a 1. From bottom to top complete passage. So guys where are the carburettork Is that what you’re up to?
