Had a few questions to ask all you KTM folks. Recently purchased a KTM 450 SXF last year and I had multiple questions on it.
1. I took it to the track and after riding I realized that I was bottoming out pretty hard and it was hitting my exhaust starting to rub the sticker off and get tire marks on it.
2. After hitting the track I got home and washed it up and realized that it is leaking on the bottom of my fork and was wondering what I would need to purchase to fix this? A revalve and seals?
3. My bike has been in the winter in the garage staying cold and the battery has been sitting on the tuner charging and I went to start it up today and it was giving enough juice for about two full turns (3-4 seconds) and then after that the electricity started turning very very slowly. Could this be any cause to a carburetor or is this all battery? Curious if it needed to be cleaned.
4. My clutch lever is leaking fluid on it lately from unknown reasons, I haven't wrecked it or anything but was wondering why it was causing this. Do I need to buy a new clutch lever to make it stop or how do I fix this problem?
5. My most important question is if I am to purchase a revalve/seals, how much is this going to cost me to revalve my shock and forks? Does it make a huge difference, and the guy before me weighed 195 lbs with gear and I weigh 196 lbs without gear and 213 lbs with, I was planning on losing 5-10 lbs but I was curious if I should still get a stiffer shock if I am going to hit the local MX track a few times a year? What size of spring should I get for the front and back and how much would those cost as well. Thank you.
