Re: New to me '06 KTM250XC

This old bike is running so well I busted the shock. Anyone have a local resource for rebuilding WP shocks? Columbia area. Rebuild kits are $100, but I don't think I have the skills for shock rebuilds.

Re: New to me '06 KTM250XC

Using a different spring, and turning in or out the power valve screw really transforms the bike. At least it does on my 2015 300. Adjusting the screw is a matter of seconds, and changing the spring is a matter of minutes. You may want to start there. Yesterday I wanted to know which spring it has ...

Re: New to me '06 KTM250XC

Suspension. set sag. set clickers to midddle and test. adjust as needed. Maybe fww for slower technical stuff? Can you adjust the "hit" with the springs on that model? Soften the hit a little. Luckily, the guy I got it from was only 5lbs lighter than me. He recently had the suspension don...

Re: New to me '06 KTM250XC

The XC's are a closer ratio but they work fine in the trees. The only downside IMO (I had a 200XC) is when you are out in the open and you want to run WFO etc. the bike will be screaming at about 50ish MPH in 6th gear. If you are going to use it as a dirtbike, it will be great, XC's as Dual Sports,...

Re: New to me '06 KTM250XC

I just picked up an '06 KTM250XC. Previous owner said it has 8 hours on the top end, new clutch plates, recently rebuilt front forks, with receipts. Runs and shifts fine. I paid $2500. It came with about $250 worth of filters, plugs, parts, dirt bike stand, set of spool stands for street bikes..etc...

Re: Sur Ron Tuning. aka geek speak.

I think on the more well traveled trails like Patapsco you'll get yelled at. I could probably ride the the trail local to me (Fairland) and get away with it if I wasn't being a butt head as when I'm riding a mtb there, rarely run into other riders that aren't in my group. [/quote smdub, I'm in Laur...

Re: Sur Ron Tuning. aka geek speak.

Anyone have experience riding there Sur Ron, Talaria, etc. on local mountain bike trails like Patapsco? Riding mountain bike trails is the only way I can justify buying an ebike right now. But I don't want to fight a cry baby mountain biker screaming "you're ruining our trails". Last I che...
