Hey ,
Got this bike last year with less then 10 hours on it. It was a dealer demo and was in great shape. Just wondering what are some good upgrades to have more power out of the turns and corners ? gearing ,exhaust etc..... Also does anybody have any info on this bike about common problems or stuff to look out for ?? and even personal opinions would go along way.

Cheers and welcome to the forum.

With my KTM experience I would say, first thing
lube the steering head bearing, and all the swing arm
pivot components.

Unless the previous owner did that, they come with a
woeful amount of grease from the factory.

What is your gearing now?

Awesome !!! Thanks. The gearbox is stock and the eng sprocket has 12 teeth and the rear sprocket has 52 teeth. All was on the bike when I got it. I am pondering getting a header and a muffler and putting a smaller sprocket on the front. Other then that I'm not quite sure what I should do unless i start getting into the main gearbox.

You need go richer on the jetting for sure.

Is that bike fuel injected?

No it's isn't fuel injected. Yea I know I have to go richer just wondering how much richer. I know on the fmf web site they give all the jet part numbers and needle position. But they don't give any info from my bike lol. Go fig. So I guess I'm just wondering where should b a good starting point.
