This thing came on my race bike. It's stupid and I plan on getting rid of it. It makes regular brake bleeding a pain.

The forks themselves are fine. The internals from the factory are not that great but solutions are not terribly expensive. The rear shock is a point of contention for most track riders and racers. The problems with the stock shock is it's progressive, not linear. It's just not as predictable...

The KTM provides the best package out of the box for track fun. As you get more experience, you'll want to modify your bike but that's true with almost all motorcycles. With the little bikes, you'll never get that screaming, arm socket ripping power. It's just not a real thing. You will...

Sorry bud, all the fairings are sold.

I made the same mistake on my '18. I found a used harness and made it work. Take pictures of the old harness as you take it out to help you route the new harness. It can be frustrating otherwise.

That dude is such a typical bean counter. There were a number of racers who had success on the RC8 but the bike never really had enough time to develop. KTM doesn't need to try and compete with a 250mph hyper-bike, but they can at least give us something in the middle-weight category that's...

Good for you, enjoy the bike. They are a bunch of fun to play with.

So average retail on a 2018 is $4700. If you are getting the bike alone for roughly that price, then you are ahead of the game. If your out the door price is tax, tags, title and whatever, then you should be just about right. Some people on here got crazy cheap deals on their bikes, some...

Yes, 140/70/17 in SC2. 140/70 SC2 Diablo Supercorsa V2 [2561700] - $190.00 : South Central Race Center, Track Side Service Reid, if you want race rubber, this is also my supplier.

We played with a few different combos, but my favorite for technical stuff is the 110/140 combo. You can get away with the 110/150 combo for a mixed style track also. We've stopped using the 120 up front for a couple of different reasons and our lap times are always faster with the 110.

No, you won't get a code or warning light. Just unplug em.

I ran Pirellis slicks in practice last round and really liked them. There's so much feedback from the front end and they are very predictable in terms of limits. I didn't get to race with them as the last round was pouring rain. I was riding in pretty hot weather and a semi rough track and...

Does the smoke/steam/mist every go away or is it constant as long as the bike is running? How thick are we talking smoke wise? I've only ever known white smoke when coolant is burning. If it's a light mist or vapor, it's nothing to worry about. I know you can get a little smoke/vapor and a...
