I had that bike ruin too many pants by kicking back and tearing my jeans leg right in two - that's why my pant leg is tucked in.

was the updated suspension and swing arm and plastic and airbox easy?? did you have to change anything?

I wouldn't call it easy, but it was definitely doable. I used the stock airbox, but I changed the plastics and tank. It did require welding a few new tabs onto the frame where the mounts lined up. If you're motivated, it can be done!

have you ridden a kx500? if so how does it compare?

Hi leanuue - yes, I have ridden a KX, but it's been a while. The KTM is quite a bit more powerful. The KX is a nice bike for sure though, and parts for the KTM are starting to get scarce (they quit building them in 96). I ended up selling this bike. I miss it though, it was a MONSTER!
Ride safe!

Yes, stock silencer and pipe. I was using an FMF pipe, but it was much larger and I didn't notice any more power, so I went back to stock. It's actually louder in person than the video captures. It's loudest at idle though. Once under load it's actually pretty quiet through the woods, which is nice because the 4 stroke riders never know what just streaked past them!
