Sorry but thats a BLUE pill bike, a red pill is a real SM race bike bwaaaaaaaaahahahahaaaaaaa. Sorry, I just could not resist hehe. Welcome!

Do suspension and get it set up for you first as that the best mod anyone can do on any bike. Then slap on a full exhaust (MRD), do the 3x3 airbox mod and rejet the carb and it will be a different bike. Oh and shit can the oem front rubber brakeline and swap it for a stainless steel brake line, that will help the front brake big time. No need to do anything else a these bikes are heavy and on the slow side but fun bikes for sure.

To be honest this is not my 1st sm 04 ktm smc625 was my intro to the dark side.
Can't wait to get it in Jim's hands at Catalyst.
3x3 air box , jetted the carb and full system installed.
