Oh, you might need a new chain with 14:52, but 14:50 will work. At least that's the way it was with my '07 EXC. When I wore mine out, I got a new chain with 2 extra links and then 14:52 would fit.

 

Thanks NB. I know the rear is a 45, but just kinda made a guess on the front. I don't think the front is stock, it's a fancy "KTM" one as you can see in the picture. I have never noticed, but I don't think I have seen them on them regurlarly. The bike is an 05'.
It's absolutely MINT! Not a scratch anywhere, never dropped. He also put that scotts stearing damper on there.
I know what you mean about 1st feeling like the KLX 3rd. It's strange starting off it kinda chuggs a bit where I'm used to the green machine be around the 5000 rpm mark, then it hits probably about 15kms and just picks up and the front tire begins to rise off the pavement.
Don't know if it'll keepup to a DRZ or not, but meh, I'll settle with it. tee hee

 

Wow, Update:
Took it out for the first testdrive tonight....
What a beast. I can say it's slightly more powerful then the KLX.. Much smaller and lighter feeling too.
1st and 2nd gear wheelies are absolutely rediculously effortless. 3rd gear, it can be power wheelied while sitting on the gas tank if you find the right sweet spot in the rpm's. The front tire will come up in 6th gear. I'm definetly not a pro at wheelies, I just wanted to basically take it out to get the long awaited itch to drive it, and figure this is a decent way to test it's power for a beginner..
But if someone really knew what they were doing, they could get this thing up doing 60mph. It pulls HAARD through every gear. No speedo, but 6th gear was so faaast. I would have guessed near idling doing 60mph. Never thought to put my gps on it.
Here's one vid short vid.

Too bad it's so high maintenance, it would be absolutely ideal as a DS bike if it could be long distance driven. ... And a more comfy seat.

Here's one would have been better had she got it from the beginning, but it's a 4th or 5th gear wheelie. If I wasn't so scarred, and maby dressed a little better, I might have tried to actually get that wheel in the air. Did em with no clutchwork, just rolled the throttle, and a little bump on the suspension and boink, up she went.

 

Yep. Cop magnet.

 

I street titled my 300, would have been fun this summer I'm sure someone is having fun with it.

I know............ I'm thinking of keeping it dirt only when I get it gear'd for that reason.. It's so faast and light.. This street legal = mostly bad outcome.
But COOOL it would be legal.

 

Deceiving(sp?) Huh!

 

we had a guy that had a 525 ds... thing was a beast...



he was missing something after a bad get off on a hill climb...

 

Beast or not, I gotta have my 'magic button.'
