ktm kx 500 conversion
« on: October 18, 2014, 03:42:42 PM »
So I just picked up another k5 motor and I have decided that I want to do the ktm conversion. If anyone knows of a good rolling frame for sale let me know. And any tips and trick for this build are appreciated

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

What year roller are you looking for and where are you located, I have a line on a 14 250sx roller a guy wants to trade me for my red afc roller. He is in West Virginia tho so not sure I can get to it. I will hook you two up if you are interested.

Quick update motor should be here by Saturday. Its going to my local performance shop FTZ. They are supposed to be pretty good and the prices they quoted me for motor work were very good.
Frame is on its way as well. It is a 2009 ktm 250 sx-f with a title :-D . Once I have it in front of me I will start buying more of the necessary parts .
If anybody has any spare parts that will fit what I'm doing let me know and I might buy them off of you

Thanks to Alex ward and his brother I got a fresh batch of goodies in the mail today. A complete kx500 engine exhaust and electical :-D . Happy thanksgiving to me. It is currently blown up but its not in terrible shape as far as I can tell and with as much power as I am going to try to produce I would be rebuilding the whole thing anyway. Next stop ftz performance

Don't think I'm doing the fuel injection anymore after finding out that apt is right down the road from me I'm prolly going with one of the smart carbs. I talked to them last week and the way they have the Carb setup it can handle a turbo just fine
