Speedo pick-up is on the front wheel near brake caliper. It has threaded adjustment. Are you sure you have the front wheel spacers on correctly? There is a short and a long one. That can cause the sensor to be too close or too far away. Also doublecheck the electrical plug to speedo.Good luck

What is a good replacement option for a kickstarter? Previous owner in all their wisdom decided to remove mine and the replacement I bought just smacks into the footpeg.

Also, does anyone know if a crf230 electric starter would work in these? I in all MY wisdom cranked the bike too much and think I have burnt out the starter.

A quick update since I have not been on in a while. Titan has been running well, brake caliper bolts vibrated out on the trail one day so I had to limp home with no brakes which was fun.
New development, KTM plastics 13-15 do not fit on the titan. not a single piece. if anyone has a link to a new set of plastics other than Orion please let me know.

Thanks

Also quick Header question, does anyone know if this header will work on the titan? i have seen both this header and the 223cc header links on this thread but Orion no longer makes the 223cc option.

I recently purchased a spare rear wheel for my Titan and ran into a problem I think everyone needs to be aware of. Upon disassembly I noticed the swingarm was deformed where it was tightened in the swingarm. On further investigation I noticed that the outside wheel bearing spacers were very sloppily made, too much ID clearance around the axle and IMO an insufficient amount of engagement on the swingarm itself, insufficient OD to rest/tighten to the swingarm itself. I think this is the issue that caused tkjn99's rear wheel to fall off. The combination of sloppily made spacers and a too large slot for the rear axle to go through creates an unsafe situation for ALL Titan owners and needs checking ASAP. My solution was to purchase 2 SS flat washers to install between the outside spacers and the inside of the swingarm. The dimensions for spacer are 15MM ID, 32mm minimum OD and .013mm or .005" thickness. Obviously you'll need to file/grind/cut the outside spacer .005 to match sprocket alignment on the chain side, I didn't do this on the brake side without ill effects. I hope ALL Titan owners take a look at your rear wheel/swingarm first chance you get as we've already seen 1 person in a serious accident because of this issue. When you pull the rear wheel and spacers you'll probably see the swingarm deformed where the spacers tightened against it and tried to "push through" it, because of beforementioned factory inaccuracies rendering your torquing of the wheel to swingarm irrelevant because you're actually tightening the wheel against itself. Good luck to all, ride safely.

Lee1991 · 05-11-2023, 02:37 PM

would you be able to post some photos of the problem and your fix? I have 400 miles on my titan and have had no issues but now I'm nervous and want to address the issue.

severely · 05-23-2023, 07:04 AM

Hey Lee1991, did you get an opportunity to check your swingarm for damage?

Lee1991 · 06-07-2023, 03:40 PM

I did. I wasn't seeing the scale of damage you were but I only have 400 miles on the bike. I am going to keep an eye on it going forward. thank you so much for the photo's and the help.

Also, what has everyone done about air filters for this thing? Mine does not fit as tight as I would like but I see no way of putting on a pod filter without destroying the airbox.

severely · 06-12-2023, 04:10 PM

I bought a replacement recommended earlier in this link and greased around the edge thoroughly. No issues so far. Good luck.

Lee1991 · 06-19-2023, 12:07 PM

Ok I have a few more questions for all current and past titan owners. let me know your thought;

1) What sprockets and chains did you buy to replace the OEM ones? I'm looking to gain low end power if possible since I'm using it as a trail bike. Links would be great.

2) when I perfectly align the rear tire based on the marks on the swing arm my tire hits my chain. I have to leave it a hair out of alignment for it to clear. Anyone else have this issue?

3) New rear shock and spring? Has anyone bought on and how do you like it?

4) Has anyone found graphics kits that fit the plastics?

Thanks for all the help,

Sprockets to use are posted earlier in this link, they are correct as I've used them.2 . No, I don't have this issue but I suggest using a straight edge or string to align front and rear wheels to make sure they are pointed in the same direction. 3 I've been looking for a rear shock also, measured length is 480 mm and I think 900 to 1000 lbs should be the spring rate needed for 220 to 250 lbs rider weight . Please let us know if you're able to get/share info. 4 no info to share.

Lee1991 · 06-22-2023, 11:45 AM

Awesome thanks for that info. ill give those a try. Ill continue to look for that rear shock, hopefully we can find a nice replacement

severely · 06-23-2023, 10:38 PM

BTW, I need to make a correction. I stated shock length at 480mm length, in fact it is 460mm in length. My bad, read my notes wrong.

Did you ever buy a new shock? I have been debating it for months but cant find much information on shocks for these bikes that would be a improvement over stock.

No, I haven't gotten a new shock yet. I kind of put it on the back burner, been busy adjusting the front and rear suspension and getting more acquainted with the bike handling wise. Thanks for asking.
