NEW to me TOY!!!

Post by BigBird »

I JUST drove in the driveway with a nice looking (that won't last long with me ridding it :lol2: ) 2007 KTM 525 EXC on my trailer :jack:

This is to be my replacement for the stolen WR250R and MAYBE??? now I'll be able to keep up with some of the FAST guys on the Dual Sport rides? :loveit:

I plan to take it on the WATR Adventure Tour next Thursday so need to get key farkles on order ASAP! So would appreciate advice from people that know more about this machine than me for things like Big Tank, Stator, etc. so please post suggestions or email me at samgailjones@comcast.net or even better call me at 301-788-8848 so I can get stuff ON ORDER! It already has a fan and good lights.

THANKS

WHat you'll need most is a couple of spare rear tires. That thing is a tractor! Should say "John Deere" on the side.

definitely get a bigger stator and a 4-gallon tank. an oil cooler wouldn't hurt either.

my buddies 525 would always boil the gas in teh tank in the summer. Get some of that stick-on reflective insulation for the tank. Definitely.
