4 gears on 525 supermoto on street?

[clayton33]

Im considering buying a ktm 525 converted to supermoto. Is the 4 speed geared high enough to ride on the highway?

no,



but depending on what SX you are looking at there might already be a primary 5th & 6th gear already in the trans, bust the cases and install a couple of gears and remove the shift mechanism lock pin and WOLLA 6sp.

thanks. How much will that cost me?

I have a ktm 520 sx with 4 gears, and it does just fine running 70. Although my sprocket is a little smaller in the back. If your running high rpm's on the highway you may want to get a smaller back sprocket.
