Hi!

Has anyone ever tried to put a k5 engine into a KTM EXC Frame?

jonny500:
why not buy a ktm 380. i had 1 and they are beasts :evil:

tschisi:
Because that would be 120cc too few  :mrgreen:

Seriously, with a street legal frame i could make use of the k5?s power.
That would make it to something more than my "second bike".

PowerFiend:
I haven't seen a KX, but have seen it done with a CR500.

tschisi:
I read some CR500 into KTM threads and it seems that the honde engine nearly fits as it would be built for it.
The rear engine/swingarm/frame mounting bolt and the pipe fit without any modifications, just the two front and the upper engine mounting brackets need to be modified.
Also the head with the spark plug should have clearance.
So the question is if the dimension of the k5 engine are similar to the cr500.
Would be great, but i guess the chance is small?!
