Im looking at trading my 03 YZ450 for an 04 KTM 450SXF. Both have been setup for SM
my YZ is mostly stock with full Big Gun exhaust, a K&N and hi-comp piston. It has been the most reliable bike I have owned. I beat it up and it takes it.
the KTM has a slipper, 6 speed, barringer front brake, SM valved suspension, etc etc its a step up. the only reason Im interested in trading is because I rode a friends 450SX (but it was an 06) and absolutely loved the chassis/suspension to the point where I said F my YZ..make sense?
I have 2 close friends that have had nothing but heavy duty reliability problems with their KTMs. I do know of at least 2 more (local track reguars) who 'blow their sh*t up all the time'.
Im interested in getting an -honest- dialog going on continuing problems with KTM 'big' bikes (450+).
