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

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

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! |
