KTM 525 SMR Supermoto description
To see video of the bike running, please see https://youtu.be/0G90sdeFjIs I will be adding more pictures to the listing. I purchased this bike in late 2005 on eBay with hopes of adding lights etc and getting it titled and registered, but this never worked out, first because the wiring harness I bought never would fit, and second I had some life events that ended my riding shortly afterwards. The bike has been in storage ever since. It's more than time to sell now. It would not start at first. I found the ohm measurements for the ignition coil to be out of spec and installed new coil. It still is hard to start when cold. Once running it runs great, and starts back up with one kick. I have only ridden a few times in neighborhood due to no plates. Pulls powerfully and running well. Because of hard cold starting, probably some tune up or adjustment is needed. If I were going to be riding it I'd replace all fluids and might replace chain, there are some rust spots but doesn't appear to affect function. Tires looked great to me with no weight on the bike even though I didn't add air all this time, but in video I can see the air looks low. Having held as much air as they did all this time, I'm sure they'll hold further air when added now, I just didn't see the issue without my weight on bike. I don't know how many hours or tanks of gas the previous owner ran the bike, I didn't ask as it was a 2005 bike when I bought later that same year. Engine sounds fine, valve clearance was good (checked it when it was not wanting to start.) Comes with both black and orange gas tanks, rear fenders, and number plates if you want both, or whichever colors you want. Buyer responsible for arranging and paying for shipping, or can pick up locally. As is. Thank you for your interest in the bike. |

KTM RC8R: The first month
Thu, 24 May 2012First impressions are everything so the gearbox niggles on the first RC8s meant I didn’t become an instant fan. There was never a problem for normal road riding but when the pace was increased on track days false neutrals were found and gears were missed. Ironically I might have been able to help here as KTM signed me up for pre-production shakedown testing before I got sidelined with appendicitis.
