Just got done talking to my co-worker/buddy who got home from the RM Emig ride this weekend. He was talking about a guy up there who has a AWD Christini KX500 in a KTM frame and I have to assume it is you? How was the ride? I did it last year on my KLR an it was most definitly a bucket list ride.

I dont think the 250f frame works, the stator cover interferes with the frame rail.  :roll:

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic.

hahaha,,, I'm sure I want to post, been waiting for this day a long time.  :-D

OK, I apologize for the ridiculous amount of time this project took but some priorities got in the way. So I decided not to post till the build was complete. I have some photos and a bit of video. the bike started right up but the SmartCarb needs some tinkering to get it adjusted right.



more pictures to follow.

Man, that dude turned out nice!  Do you have any video of it in action?
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Alward helped me with the MZB and it fired right up. Problem was the SmartCarb was way too rich, I won't get back to it for a while.  I do plan to get some video.

That indeed I would be, he actually showed me your update off a Facebook post before I had seen the update on here. How is the five hunnit treating you? Thing looks epic fun.
