latest addition the the garage | KTM 450 Supermoto

[tea2jay]

just got my bike back from Rick at RMC moto. he added Beringer front brake setup, 17" wheels and tires, + a whole lot of maintenance

just in time for gloomy season :ride

btw, I now know why no one has white wheels, one ride around the block and they were already dirty... and I didn't even get off the pavement.

You have a steering damper on that thing? Might need it if you go beyond the neighborhood. I bet it steers quick.

Ooh! Nice! Makes me want to do that to my 450 EXC! The orange hubs and bits on the spokes look great :thumbup

And, yeah, no more white wheels for me. I have them on my GSXR and they made me never want to lube the chain :mad

no steering damper yet. going to ride it around for a few months to get a feel for the bike and start doing some suspension mods next spring probably.

this bikes is tons of fun so far but the seat on this bike makes the seat on my zx6r feel like a lazy boy sofa. it's like riding a plank of wood haha.

When Your ready for picking a damper... Get a Scotts or Ohlins rotory..
(both are identical, just different logo's).

They work better than the straight line cylinder jobbies.

:laughing Sounds about right. I put a Guts Comfort seat on my 450 EXC.
Best mod I ever did on that bike.

this is going to be the next purchase for this bike. anything past 10 min and I'm starting to rotate which butt check gets the seat

There should be a class action lawsuit against ktm for the agony they've caused with those f$#kn seats.

 

[strictlyJDM]

They put on the horrible seats cause if you ride it any more than a hour it will break down..

Its to keep the mileage low on the bikes. Hahah

KTM seat design > KTM kickstand design

before the conversion, the kickstand was way to short and the bike felt like it was going to tip over overtime i climbed on. now, it's to long....
