So did you grab any pictures?

Corvairkid · 06-29-2013, 11:04 AM

not yet but its a white and purple 620 R XC E model dyno-ed at 55hp last night, before i left a deposit i wanted to get a compression test and a dyno on it to look for issues i was shocked to see 55hp from a 620cc bike thats almost 20 years old

That's a handful of power for a dirt bike. Do you plan to deal with the teletubby colours?

Corvairkid · 06-29-2013, 10:28 PM

no i kind of like the tel-tubby colors i thought of doing some LED lights on it to match the colors, make it flashy, i work in lighting and can get wire that glows like neon tube and led strip in any color i need

We eagerly await photographs.

Every bike shop in my area closes on Monday. They need to be open on Saturday, so they take Sunday and Monday off.

Corvairkid · 07-02-2013, 04:49 PM

The bike looks good, Kid!

What year is it?

Congratulations, very nice bike!
A few years ago i had a '93 model of the KTM 600 LC4, and in terms of concept and workmanship this was by far the best bike i ever owned. You will notice the racing background that KTM come from on every bolt and every screw. The Japanese learned a lot from these bikes.

55hp is a very good achievement for a 600cc engine, even if it is called a 620. Giving the cylinder head a little tlc you can earn about 60hp, and believe me, this is a lot! Of course you can double the power by installing a turbo charger

, but if it would be my bike, i would leave the engine untouched and stay with the 55hp. Don't forget to change the oil about every 1000mls, the engine will be grateful.

Have fun with your KTM!
