2016 KTM 500 EXC Six Days Supermoto full walk around

This is a repost of the full walk around i posted yesterday. i clicked the wrong button on my phone and video got deleted. I dont feel like re writing the entire list of mods to the bike. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[@jacobstromburg5803]

There's so many good "thats what she said" moments in this video.

[@Bike-Breakers]

Badass bike! Really love that Very detailed walk around. thank you so much!

[@mazzeo321]

BikeBreakers very glad you and so many others enjoyed it!

[@PeterDad60]

The "Cush Drive" in the rear is to protect the main bearings of your crankshaft from hard impact when you change gears up and down. The cush drive has large rubber pieces that cushion the shock when your chain goes super tight under load and grabs the rear sprocket, and that "cushioning" protects your engine's main bearings. They are hard against the transmission which is hard against the primary chaincase chain and then front sprocket, to drive chain, to rear sprocket. All metal on metal. So I say it was a good choice to make the purchase. It's an early 1950's late 1940's invention. They called it "Cush Drive".

[@Racer57]

One of the few walk arounds I've seen where you stay quiet and just let the video do some of the talking for a portion. Sweet ride man!

[@HaPea117]

fucking sick looking bike dude thing is a beast

[@mazzeo321]

thanks man much appreciated!

[@HaPea117]

taz mazz no worries bro

[@PeterDad60]

Just a word of advice. The chain guard is not to protect the chain so much (from dirt). Rather it is to protect you. You see if every you should snap that chain it can cut your leg off. Hence the Chain Guard is a guard against the chain severing your leg! This has happened many many years ago. Before you were born. It's the same with any motorcycle, I am not singling out KTM. BTW full disclosure. I street raced my 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville 750 with the chain guard off (someone stole it). The chain never snapped. In fact one time the left rear passenger foot peg came off and got caught between the rear sprocket and the chain. It broke a tooth and also it yanked the engine so hard to the left because the footpeg caught between the sprocket and chain momentarily and that stopped -locked up the rear wheel. Anyway this snapped a frame plate holding the motor to the frame. I stopped riding the bike after that. It was a case of poor sportsman sabotage. I had won a cafe race against a new 1992 Kawasaki KZ1100 and the owner and a few of his bar bud's were caught red handed by me with their hands on the bottom of my motorcycle. I could not find anything wrong (it was dark and I am Naive) so I rode off. Very soon after, the nut that "they" had indeed removed allowed the cross frame bolt to loosen up and that contributed/caused to the engine yanking to the left. I'm on your side and I never had my leg severed by a chain. But I am 67 and when I was young - 20 something I heard horror stories and I am just passing on that knowledge to you. So you can keep the chain guard off and probably nothing will ever happen. But God forbid if your chain snapped and let loose it would possibly fly up and cause you a rather bad injury. At the very minimum I say keep an eye on the links and also keep that chain oiled and properly adjusted. Remember when you sit on the bike you compress the shocks and that makes the chain tighter. So always have the correct looseness of the chain as per the Owner's manual. Example 1-3/4" freeplay in the center-up and down for total free play with a 10 pound force. (That's not a KTM spec that is my Triumph spec). Peter

[@PeterDad60]

Your Monoshock is mounted near the swing arm bushing so nevermind what I said about sitting on the bike and compressing the shock and making the chain draw tight. That only applies to the conventional twin shock designs located far from the swing arm pivot.

[@mazzeo321]

Olivier yes it cost around 12,000 usd

[@SchmisterTyler]

Hey dude if you want to fix your header buy some masking tape and tape it off where the seem is. Use stainless steel wool or scotch brite pad to freshen it up. Be sure to rub it all in one direction as it will have a grain to it. It wont match the rest of the exhaust but will look better! If you really want it to shine you could do the same thing using a harbor freight air dremel a small buffing pad and buffing grease.

[@cbr600f4i2]

dooode, sick bike! I love this thing. Great video as well. You managed to cover everything. Its the bike I wanted to covert to sumo but the dealer rep was being a pain in the ass. Great choices on color and options. I like the upgraded triple clamp but the bike looks stable when you ride on the streets. The 5" Rear tire is always a debate and mystery like you pointed out. All said and done it's worth it if you can get it on and working with no rub. Great job.

[@mazzeo321]

thanks glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!

[@Pineapple-Express_MX]

After you installed the EE rear fender did the blinkers flash fast ? Want to keep the stock front just like your bike. Or did you get the LED relay ?

[@mazzeo321]

the rear fender is from sicass racing and i did not need to add a relay it blinked at normal speed, i found once i disconnected the front turn signals from the circuit that the rears blinked faster. its possible the blinking speed increased from something else though

[@MZ-sq6im]

Hey dude, would you please be able to tell me where you got the fender eliminator with rear turn signals from? Thank you!

[@aesquer85]

i just bought the super moto kit but it was from a 2006, mine is a 2016 as yours. do you know is theyre compatible? i mean, the super moto kit, cause i feel the front wheel a little loose. Did you install new wheel spacers or used the stock ones? sick bike!!

[@bradleycathey2939]

Had the same rubbing problem on my front wheel once. Get some lower unit paint for Mercury outboard motors & it's the same gloss black as the warp 9's or damn close at least. Sick bike!

[@mazzeo321]

thanks i will try that out, only thing that sucks is they scraped right where the wheel says warp 9 and i lost half the letters!

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

Pretty nice. I bought my 1290 r from Hanover. Good people.

[@acesmotorsports8645]

you're getting some aluminum corrosion too bud. Looks like you're riding close to salt water. I would suggest using some sort of neutralizer with your wash. And think about an oil wipe down after wet rides, especially on your pipe

[@tjlovesrachel]

Aces Motorsports glad someone said it

[@claytonmoorman]

How do you change the spedometer to recognize sumo wheels raher than dirt? I tried disconnecting the 3 pin red brown black and selected 1882 but no luck

oh those KTMs .. such beauty and the blue cush drive hub is so sweeeet looking :) nice vid

[@Lesfous79]

why do you have keys ? is it an option or something ? never saw any keys in europe on exc models , can you explain ? does it just lock the fork or is it kill switch too (like cars keys)?

[@mazzeo321]

antoine1998 USA Exc models are all street legal so they all come with a key that does both ignition and steering lock, if it didn’t have a key anyone could just walk up and ride away with your bike on the street

[@MrSnap-uv3qz]

omfg that bike looks sick, great job!

[@waynejenkins1788]

What size wheels are the motards 5 inch rear rim and front??

[@farmer3242]

Do you know if the 16 came corked up stock with reeds in intake boot and restrictive exhaust or are they pretty unrestricted, is stock tune good, any annoying lean spots or stalling/flaming out? Thanks

[@mazzeo321]

The 16 didn’t come with reeds in the intake so you don’t have to worry about removing that, but it does come pretty smogged up elsewhere. You can find a cheap Des mpg kit online for like 20 bucks with a few tuner sod bolts and maybe washers that let you pull off some hoses and a charcoal canister to free that up. You also will deal with flameout pretty bad stock, and even worse if adding an aftermarket exhaust. Back in 2016 the best fix was adjusting the TPS but over the years I’ve found with the Ktm’s the best route is to leave the tps stock and get a fuel tuner, jd , bday, multiple brands sell them but they are all the same unit and work great at eliminating flameout stalling, and smooth out power everywhere

[@farmer3242]

@@mazzeo321 thanks for that. Good info

[@Rayraymai]

Beautiful bike and very nice video brother! 2 questions how often do u need to change the oil on this bike? And where do u ride off road around nuc if you can recommend a spot thx in advance!

[@chico11432]

Crazy....best dirtbike

[@mazzeo321]

thanks its definitely one of the best enduros for sure

[@farmer3242]

Are these 500s suitable for longer distance road riding where youre doing 60-70 mph for long periods?

[@mazzeo321]

They can be, if it’s all you ever do is highway riding maybe a 701 would be a better choice for sustained high speed/ higher rpms, but I did plenty of highway riding on my 500. It’s important to have the proper gearing for the type of riding your going to do. Sprockets are cheap and quick to swap out and I had multiple chains set at different lengths, I had 13-15t fronts and 42-50 tooth rears. I might run 13-48, 15,42, all depends on the type od riding but obviously the bigger the rear the lower your top end is and more torque you have on bottom end, smaller rear sprocket for highway riding

[@ericwinner3587]

Nice setup, thanks for the detailed information.

[@mazzeo321]

thankyou im glad you found it useful

[@Febien]

Im from Slovakia!!!!

[@lxrgrandom]

Another question 😂 does ur chain rub the end of the chainguard?

[@flyingzebra311]

road salt will fuck up your bike look at your motor oxidation

[@michaelhafke4742]

"I've yet to run from the cops.." LOL. Phenomenal bike and I love the upgrades you put on the bike. seriously, that bike would be my ultimate dream bike. Nice and informative video. I'm from Hunterdon country and grew up in Morris. I'm guessing that you're close by?

[@mazzeo321]

Michael Hafke thanks im in bergen county not far from the gwb

[@michaelhafke4742]

Be safe out there buddy! Again, awesome upgrades.

[@BugOutMoto]

Cool bike! I wish I could come up with a reason to go supermoto but street tires just suck arse off-road, all the fun is off-road.

[@cw127cw]

stunning bike bud. Love the switch idea. Do you know if the 2017 Six Days Exc needs this mod? If so any recommendations of where online to find it? Thanks for the great revjew.

[@BeezerWashingbeard]

What is the "Six Days" line that KTM is making? Whats the difference?

[@mazzeo321]

Sebastian Lund Nielsen Every year ktm releases some of their bikes in a limited six days edition to commemorate the ISDE International six days enduro. Every year the enduro is in a different country and ktm uses a custom graphic to represent the country in which the enduro is being held that year. The bike basically comes with 2-3k in performance ktm power parts and is "supposed" to be able to tackle any terrain out of the box. This is the list of upgrades for the 2016 ktm 500exc six days. Six Days Equipment 4CS closed-cartridge fork from WP Suspension Camel seat for improved long-distance comfort Orange-anodized CNC machined triple clamps Supersprox Stealth 2-Piece rear sprocket features an aluminum inner ring for reduced weight with steel teeth for durability Solid rear brake disc without holes or slots for improved heat resistance and reduced pad wear Floating front brake disc for consistent braking Front brake disc guard Front Axle Puller to simplify front wheel removal Brake pedal wire for extra protection Orange radiator grills Orange chain guide Six Days logo on black wheels Exclusive Six Days graphics Radiator fans on the 350 XCF-W Six Days and 500 EXC Six Days for temperature management in extreme conditions Carbon fiber pipe guard on the 300 XC-W Six Days two-stroke to protect the expansion chamber along with a special charcoal grey silencer with anthracite anodized Six Days logo

[@StillSNEAKERfreaker]

hey man, have you had any problems with your rear indicators? how do they handle the heat from the exhaust? Beautiful bike!

[@mazzeo321]

thankyou, zero issues with the turn signals getting too hot in the position i have them mounted

[@sambibby9188]

hey man awesome bike, where did you get the rear turn signals and licence plate holder from?

[@mazzeo321]

sam bibby sicass racing, Google or local dealership carries them here in jersey

[@chico11432]

Opinion what u think is the best dirtbike

[@johnslaughter7110]

Where did you get the white plastic? It really looks good.

[@ethanbennett1208]

Hey man I'm looking to get a new bike like a 2013 ktm 450 or a 500 and I'm wondering how u payed for the bike when u first got it ?

[@mazzeo321]

KhAoTiiC Bennett this bike in particular I traded in my 2012 yz450f to the dealership for 4500, payed 4500 cash and financed 2000 through the dealership . normally I try to buy bikes outright cash but I didn't mind paying like 60 bucks a month for a little while I wanted the bike for Christmas last year so I grabbed it

[@rnekmoto7844]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jacobjanuary3850]

I dont know if you have fixed the header or not but some backing soda and water mix with steal wool will get most of the rust off then rub down with WD-40 after you wash.

[@mazzeo321]

Jacob January thanks for the tip I will try that

[@lucasdill8718]

How hard is it to swap back and forth between supermoto tires to dirt tires?

[@mazzeo321]

once you get it down about 30 minutes, if you dont care abouy scratching the wheels then 25 minutes, if you keep stock size rotor for front and dont need to change the caliper bracket then its a 10-15 minute swap

[@Drunken_Hamster]

What if you just put bigger rotors on the dirt tires? Better stopping power to boot with the easier swap times. Also, how wide are each of the tires? Also, also. I swear I thought this video said *300* EXC and that it'd be the two stroke bike until I saw the exhaust pipe and realized there was no expansion chamber. Sh*t had me checking the title like "Waaaahhht?"

[@mazzeo321]

+Hazardous-Nebula wheels are 17x3.5 and 17x5 tires 120 and 160. and that would make swaps faster, but havnt felt like spending the money on another rotor, plus if i put a bigger rotor on the dirt tires then the stock six days rotor guard wony fit and i would have to try and find a bigger one to fit. that plus the added potential for damage with a bigger surface area it just hasnt been at the top of my list

[@grosblyth]

where did you get the black swingarm cover and the handle above the muffler?

[@mazzeo321]

the swingarm cover i ordered from rockymountainatvmc website, and the handle i got from my local ktm dealer they stock all the powerparts. im having a hard time finding the KTM handle online, most sites like rockymountain sell the moose tacibg grab handle, same exact thing but aftermarket. if you dont want the moose i would call your local dealer

[@grosblyth]

taz mazz How do you install the swingarm guard? Slide from the back?

[@mazzeo321]

+grosblyth yes it slides on from the rear and has channels in it to run zip ties through the cover and around the back of the swingarm. and yes thats the official mounting hardware included from KTM, 4 black zipties lol

[@mazzeo321]

+grosblyth i do alot of offroad and street and absolutely zero issues with the swingarm cover it does its job perfectly and is super secure

[@grosblyth]

Thanks. Gonna have to order one!

[@elmerluzero3puertastechito501]

Check out my 540SXC... still needs some stuff.... but WOW! Would love to get Warp 9s for her. Looks good!

[@Gameljc]

Would you recommend building a exc into a supermoto or just buy 690 smc?

[@mazzeo321]

Theres nothing to build its just wheels and a caliper bracket so it comes down to what are you going to do with the bike? If its strictly supermoto you might want the smc, i like the exc because i ride alot of offroad and enduro type riding so if i had the smc i wouod be stuck with road only. If i wanted a full on supermoto and didnt want go ride dirt i would probably just choose the 690

[@Gameljc]

@@mazzeo321 i would be riding only on the road. I kinda dislike thr smc because of the weight difference.

[@treydipszn6527]

Where can I get a bike like that and is it street legal . Would love to have a bike like that and ride it everyday . Help me out

[@mazzeo321]

TooMuchTv200 these come from the factory street legal you can find them at any ktm dealership or on local Craigslist type site for sale . The KTM EXC series bikes are street legal from factory

[@Zadist66]

Hi taz maz i have questions for you :D 1.Would you tell me how much a bike like this costs in a month ?(Oil,Oilfilter,...) And how often you need to maintain/service the bike with parts ? 2.Would you recommend to use a Bike like this to drive on the streets ? I have been thinking about buying a EXC and use it in traffic.Because i want something special :D and the bike is an eyegasm itself but i am aware that it is still a competition bike and it needs love. I hope you can answer my questions and sorry for my bad grammar ^_^ Greetings from Germany :)

[@mazzeo321]

It seems like you already know the answer to your question, the 500 exc does not make a great road bike and the hours on the engine rack up extremely quick. I work in NYC and often ride it into work, its the absolute most fun way to commute but like i said adds hours to the engine very fast so you will be doing alot of oil changes. I do changes every 15 hours which can easily be every other week, i use Motul 300v which is probably the most expensive but in my opinion the best performance oil and it costs me about 40 dollars per oil change. Its actually pretty good on gas even when doing a bunch of wheelies and constantly revving the engine and insurance is very cheap even with full coverage

[@Zadist66]

+taz mazz Thank you for the fast answer i have one last question :) You dont have to answer it if you dont want to. How much money do you spend in a month for this Bike and will there be some Expenisve Maintains in riding like Engine and Piston service soon ? Thank You again for your answers its nice to hear some talking about competition Bikes build into Supermotos since there arent that much Videos about it.

[@StillSNEAKERfreaker]

Unfortunately you won't be able to get it street legal with its full power in Germany...

[@mazzeo321]

+Zadist66 i dont spend much, regular maintenance is 50-75 USD a month depending on how much you ride. the manual calls for valves to be checked very early on and piston replacement but i have seen many people going 100+ hours and still being perfectly fine. i have about 40 hours on the engine and havent replaced anything yet, will check valves soon and if they are good i will probably go until around 75 hours before i check again

[@Zadist66]

Okay thank you ! :D

[@waydemorris1451]

try using some metal polish on the exhaust, bit of elbow grease and it should come up real nice. might have to be a every couple week thing if you ride in the snow often.

im getting this same bike in a 350 and want to convert it like this you think you can help me out

what can I do to help?

[@velocityraptor7226]

It's not that difficult on the 2-stroke models, my friend converted his 2016 125 EXC Sixdays to a supermoto trim. All you need is a pair of supermoto wheels, a new front brake disc, probably an adapter for your rear sprocket and or just buy a new sprocket and if you're planning on using the original speedometer you'll have to buy a magnet for the sensor and istall it to your front brake disk and you'll probably have to trim your front fork guards as well

[@DavidVanmeterDutch]

Can you explain more about what you meant about the triple clamp being changed out to better fit the sumo setup? I have the same bike and want to sumo it. Thanks! Love your setup!

[@mazzeo321]

David Vanmeter the triples hold the forks in a certain geometry, effecting the way the bike handles and the rake of the front end. they are designed for proper geometry with a 21 inch wheel in the front. now imagine replacing that 21 inch wheel with a 17 inch wheels, the front axle is now 2 1/2 inches closer to the ground, yet the forks are at the same angle they were before, the geometry is no longer correct and can be fixed by changing the triples clamps

Hey dude, Nice bike ! im going to buy a ktm exc 450 2017 and i want to put street wheel on it. I was wondering what is the size of your tires front and back and the size of the rims. Thx

17" warp 9 wheels with pirelli rosso II tires, 120 front 160 rear

[@mazzeo321]

[@pigroodv2994]

thank you mzn for all this information. In your opinion should i go for a smaller tire size to avoid friction with chain and fender ?

[@mazzeo321]

+kazer anto it is the safer option and most people go that way, i only went for the bigger rear because i thought it looked better but its probably nkt worth the trouble.

[@mazzeo321]

yes I offroad check out some of my other videos I just posted one from riding south Jersey last weekend, I plan on going again this weekend

[@pedrosebastia2337]

Does the EXC really make a good supermoto?

[@mazzeo321]

it depends what you consider a good supermoto. It is sexy as hell. turns heads everywhere. can switch to supermoto very quickly and easily, handles great, great on gas, fun as shit to rip around and do wheelies absolutely everywhere. Decent amount of maintenance, it is abusive on the motor, tops out around 100 and you will probably hurt the motor constantly riding that fast. its not meant to be a supermoto and cant be ridden crazy fast but from 0-80 this thing is absolutely nuts and i abused it for 55hours before checking the valves for the first time and they were just about to be out of spec. unless you have a bike build from the factory for street i suppose its as good as any other dirtbike switched over to supermoto setup

[@pedrosebastia2337]

[@MrKdr500]

you definitely needed that cush drive on the rear, it will save your gearbox from damage than can happen with a direct drive setup.

[@mazzeo321]

yea i wasnt sure but i read that it can really help the gearbox on bikes that arent meant for road riding like this so i went with it, only like an extra 100 bucks or so

[@mazzeo321]

+Dark Warp 9 street wheels do not always ome with cush drive hub you have to pay extra its 100-150 extra i believe. i have the cush hub and havn't had any issues so far, dont know if its necesarry but cant hurt

[@mazzeo321]

+Dark vush drive hub is 2 seperate pieces when you have the back wheel off the sprocket and front half of hub will come off and inside are a bunch of rubber triangles that act like dampeners for the torque, if you have a cush drive hub you will know because everytime you put the wheel on it keeps falling apart on you.

+Dark Oh really? Then tell me why the fuck i had to order my WMX supermotos with a cush drive hub separately?

[@VoltronProdigyVP]

[@mazzeo321]

[@VoltronProdigyVP]

[@lxrgrandom]

sick bike! where is that kill switch from?

[@mazzeo321]

the kill switch on the right side is the stock kill switch that comes on EXC model bikes, the headlight switches on the left side are made by Sicass Racing and can be bought online

[@lxrgrandom]

@@mazzeo321 thanks bro, then the onces in EU prolly comes different.

These new ktm headlights have 35W H4 bulbs in them (older version have ba20d which sucks btw) Now I wonder did anyone change theirs to 55/60W H4? I've ordered this new headlight for my bike and plan to upgrade existing H4 bulb but I am afraid stronger bulb might melt the reflector :/ Have also searched internet forums about it, couldn't find any info. Anyone? :) Very nice bike btw, taz mazz! :)

Can i travel long with ktm 500 supermoto ??? 24/7

[@mazzeo321]

Eedacx it is an enduro by design so it isn't meant for being ridden at high speeds for long periods of time but it can be done. obviously a lot of people use these bikes as supermoto but you need to always keep in mind that it is an enduro and has to be maintained like one . gear the bike with sprockets that will allow the speeds you are looking to do the most often, I suggest a cush drive hub on your supermoto rear wheel to reduce stress on the transmission, and you must keep up with oil changes and cleaning the air filter. You can go longer with the oil changes depending on mileage and type of riding if I am only riding street I will go longer I between changes than if I was riding dirt. I have 5000 miles on my engine now and plan on rebuilding the top end this winter which I will have at least 6000 miles by then. I would probably push it closer to 10k miles if they were all street but majority of my miles are off-road abuse.

[@TheKelvin065]

Nice bike bro!*****

[@TheKelvin065]

Does the tail light that you have it come with the signal included ??

[@mazzeo321]

The taillight and turn signals are separate, and are both made by Sicass Racing. sicassracing.com/store/products/tail_lights/sicass_easy_fit/2011_sx_xc_2012-14_all_ktm_easy_fit_under_fender?cPath=105_41_43_81& That is the taillight, the taillight comes attached to a new rear fender piece as you can see in the link. sicassracing.com/store/turn_signals/led/orange_lens_led_flat_mount_ktm?cPath=105_46_2222& Those are the turn signals. You can drill a hole and mount them where ever you like, you can see in the video where i mounted mine. They plug directly into the factory ktm harness.

[@mazzeo321]

thankyou!

[@TheKelvin065]

+taz mazz would I be able to put those turn signal on the factory 2012 ktm tail.. I will guess since you said I can mount it anywhere
