Default Hi

Hey everyone. I'm Dave. I'm from Atlanta, and just became the owner of a 125 SX.

I'm an avid rider -- well over 10k miles a year, most recently on scooters for economy (trip from here to DC on $30 of gas? Hell, yes). I haven't ridden on dirt in years though.

I used to ride dirt bikes as a kid (Yamaha TTR, a couple of Hondas), but never did any of my own maintenance, since I was always riding friends' bikes. I decided now was a good time to start dirt riding again, so I waited for the right deal and pounced. Now I'm the proud owner of a 2000 KTM 125SX.

The bike had a top-end rebuild last year, and had sat for several months before I bought it. It runs well now, but the clutch cover gasket is probably bad, I've got a bit of fluid leaking from there... Anyways, see you guys around the site.

Edit: What's the best place to order a replacement clutch cover gasket? Should I go with an OEM or aftermarket part?

Hi and welcome Dave.

I'd go with an OEM gasket (at least I do on my bikes).

Ktmworld is in Georgia too.
