is ktm a smoother ride than an rm?

turtlemann14 · 07-03-2008, 03:31 PM

are you looking for something to just put around on comfortably?

if your just going to go trail riding. that ktm would be best. that 125 would not like to be trail ridden, in the since of you would probably not be in the upper rpm range. but that RM sounds like a good trade. the Ktm would be best choicr to trail ride though unless you would be screaming through the woods lol

if you use a 125 to trail ride, you will need some practice on it first. when i first got mine, i would bog it on the trail, but learn to ride it just right and you can keep it screaming

you might want to check into the stator thing, ask him if he has any reason on why it would be the stator, that is a really generic excuse on why something doesnt run, look into it, the 250 would be good though, not my style of bike but you should like it

asked him about the stator, he says he knows it is the stator because he ran some conductor test on some other shit i forgot wut he said. Sound legible, or a lie? he would do a straight up trade for my quad, which is perfect for me, but the ktm guy wants my quad + money omg i just dont know lol

The EXC is missing the head light, that is the bike I have, Hope you are tall!!!!
Did he set it up for not running a head light?
exc coil is 128.00 and sx is 68.00
exc stator is apx 300.00

to set a bike up for not running a head light(unless it has a tail light) you simply unplug the wires lol
