Hey mate,

I cant remember about the CI on them, i do have some manuals around. Will post what i find. The ci did change from the 91 up. Up to 548 from memory. Sadly I no longer have one.

All of them differ to ride. The 92 had a mad motor that was like a light switch and pulled 4th gear racing starts. The 96 was more torque and better ergo's. This one had a flywheel weight. Both were unmodified, just good carbs pwk 38.

The 93 went ok at first, then we put a new ignition on. WOW.

The cases are pretty much the same however the 550 barrel will not bolt straight on without mods. There is some relief work needed to get it right.

Also the 500 isnt a straight swap either from what my very good sources tell me.

The 540 is the same bore and stroke as the 550=548cc from memory. There is a freakish run ktm did with a slighty smaller cc around 538cc, these rev faster but are rare.

ktm needs to make a 500 cc 2 stroke in the near future

Wheelying down a steep hill like that proves how fucking fast these bikes are. I had a 500 MX and that shit had some scoot to it, too.

This is the first video I've seen where the guy actually gives it some gas

I just picked up a 93 that needs some work. Cant wait to get it back to its former glory. Cheap parts are hard as hell to find though!
