My '06 KTM 200 Silver Kings Hard Enduro Bike Finally Rips!

[@EgoGhostX]

Its 10:30 pm and a school night but dirt bikes call to me

[@jkmarshall3553]

Dude, respect your priorities! LOL!

It’s 1:20 pm and I’m at school but dirt bikes call to me

[@vdo987]

​@@Nick_M200lol in the Netherlands morning just begin!

[@JNorbury]

It’s 4:48am on a school night

[@krush6551]

I feel that😂

[@ljw316]

Hey man love the videos, i always watch ur channel during my lunch break, plz never stop making videos

[@dirtvolt0]

School is important but dirt scooter importanter

[@deaganblough1961]

Skool*

[@jaylee6936]

Youre going to have a hell of a time riding a 200 at silver kings, I respect it! Good luck to you man should be a good time!

[@robh3267]

Magic button time.

[@haydenauten285]

Hey Kincade another thing you can do to increase top end power and hit is adjusting the power valve to bit a bit more aggressive, I have a gnarly and a procircuit pipe and to me the gnarly has a very very marginal bottom end power gain over the procircuit however the procircuit was way more top end power

[@alexsquirrely3133]

Stoked to see you figuring those issues out! Those trails look too fun

[@NickSchoess]

Hell yeah dude, so hyped you got er figured out! Now you just get to log those hours before silver kings!

[@kenwolfe5697]

Been waiting for this resolution on this. Glad you got it figured out

[@coastxenduro6638]

Hey mate. I had an injured left hand for a while. The Clake one light clutch really helped me out. It’s expensive but allows easy one finger clutch work and allowed me to grip significantly easier.

[@Jblaylock777]

Fractured my wrist in a motorcycle accident years ago. Car pulled out in front of me and my handlebars rolled forward on impact. I had numbness in my pinky and third finger. Hook of hamate fracture was causing all the problems pinching a nerve. Had to have surgery to get it corrected. Doctor said my fingers would go completely numb eventually and fingers would fall off from no circulation getting to them if I didn’t get it fixed. Find a good hand surgeon if that’s your issue. Wrist was super stiff and needed physical therapy after surgery. Good luck with it man, hopefully that’s not your case.

[@JaquenHauf]

For your hand, try rice bucket training. I did it to help re strengthen my wrists, and it helps a lot with arm pump.

[@minnowlaketuning]

Been Watching all the videos on the 200 since the start, glad to see you got her running good now, it's hard to tell over video but it seems like it's still not hitting hard on the bottom end. Like I said hard to tell over video but, I just recently sold an 04 ktm 200, it had a stock pipe and the bottom end felt very healthy, almost hit as hard as a 250. At the same time I had a rm 125 as well and the 200 had way way more bottom end. Defiantly didn't need to use the clutch to get the front end up in first or second. I agree with what your saying on the gnarly pipe, I've recently just bought a 2012 ktm 300 and it had a gnarly, that pipe seems to rob all mid and top end. Anyways, good luck at silver kings brotha, hope ya have a blast and the content has been great!

[@KadeMcBain]

love the 2 stroke's. the old KTM 200 is a great bike and I have one myself.

[@Underdogenduro]

I have a 2004 Ktm 200 sx I just recently rebuilt.. I also tried a gnarly pipe but didn’t like it and went back to the stock pipe as it has more top end needed for long sand climbs. Your bike sounds good. The one comment I have after using your videos to rebuild my bike is your stator timing . I marked my timing in case before I removed so I could re align it easy my mark is in between the two marks on stator … I’d say about 11:50 on a one handed clock.. hope you that makes sense…

[@Sunspot-19]

Good stuff, Kincade!! Glad you are becoming one with this bike.

[@jaydelaney9313]

The Gnarlie is what is holding your too end back. I've spent hours trying to tune my carb and PV to work well at the too end with a Gnarlie. I always go back to the Pro Circuit.

[@Josh-Silvia]

Right on! Glad you got it sorted. They are very fun bikes

[@Jacob-kp1bu]

I have a 99 200 and the low to mid is amazing. As for wheelies I can get it to pull up in 4 of the 6 gears easily. Gear 5 and 6 need some clutch and more work to do it, however it will. I'm only a 140lb rider though. I hope this helps.

[@bubba417]

give your hand some time. if its nerve damage its gonna take a while to get better. i've cut a finger or two off and it just takes time for the nerves to grow and heal. cant wait to see the bike hit siver kings again!

[@ponydown418]

On my 200 I took off the gnarly and put the stocker back on. Just a tiny loss on the bottom end but the increase in the top end pull was worth it.

[@hvieiraneto]

Your videos are incredible, I ride a 2022 KTM 150 TPI, the bike is extremely agile, but leaves something to be desired when it comes to strength. I hope the race has plenty of space to pack, as in hard Enduro they are more difficult to operate…

[@jonathoncatterson8901]

Open the power valve to flush withthe case and if u still want more buy a ro tek head. Or if money is no option go with the full tsp kit set up for that bike.

[@chasepatton8111]

I have close to the same issue on my right hand jammed my wrist and hand real bad riding one day and it has never really stopped hurting

[@dylanstrothers1000]

Urmosi bar clamps help a ton for vibration dampen and anti fatigue

[@galvidmar1247]

when you were riding on the road it still sounded like the clutch was slipping

[@StefanShift]

My thought exactly

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

A little late for my input.... But better late than never I had a FMF Gnarly pipe on my KTM SX 150.. and OMG it was the WORST for choking its top end.... Switched to a Pro Circuit pipe and silencer.... HUUUGE difference!!!! Such a difference, that it was easily noticeable, even on a bike as limited on power, as the 150cc....

[@user-pt4wp3zs5r]

Hand-finger problem. Check the position of the head while driving, because it could be a problem with the cervical vertebrae. (The weight of the helmet...) When this happens to me, I correct my posture/head position while driving and it's ok..

[@FLB2019]

That's so sick dude! I am super excited to see the silver kings video!

[@PNWRIPPA]

Hey man live the vids, I would extremely recommend picking up a set of Steg pegz for this bike, I know they sound and look gimmicky but me and my dad have used them, I have nerve damage in my left ring finger and my dad has tendinitis in both hands making it difficult to hold on but the Steg pegz is insane how much it take pressure off your hands while standing, so it may be worth it to look into a set, keep it up always look forward to these vids

[@johnkelly5778]

On the hand and nerve issue, I had it. Try stretch your arms every morning. Butterfly your arms against an open doorway.

[@johnkelly5778]

Also try go back to the original clutch leaver and cylinder

[@jordanbm33]

I'm on the other side of the world and can only comment on what I see in the videos but I still think you've got a problem with power output, I hate to say! The few seconds following 10:30 really highlight that, It should have thrown you off the back! Having owned 125s, a 200 and a 250 from this era, the 200 puts out impressive top end, even compared to the 250. I'm no mechanic but Id be double checking you're not losing final drive, possibly even throw it on a dyno? That would make an interesting video. I hope you get it sorted man!

[@Underdogenduro]

I agree I have a 200 and it’s pulling me off the bike and more than happy to lift the tire.. I understand I have sx and different gear ratios but I think your missing some power still ether with the pipe or the timing possible. Or both.. not sure but my bike sounds more popcorn than yours ..

[@JamesBurr-vk7kh]

My left pinky finger goes numb after a long ride, stretches and strength training tool for the hand, like some guitar players use really helped, hope you can get it figured out

[@JohanGustavson]

You really should verify that the squish is set correct. Insert a bit of solder wire in the spark plug hole of the head and carefully crank it over from the flywheel and measure the squish. To little of squish should make the bike behave like what you are experiencing now. Make sure that you do it on the both sides simultaneously so the play from side to side of the piston wont give false results.

[@oxfon419]

Hey man just in case you should check the wire that is inside your spark plug cover and that it’s not burnt back ,had a similar problem on my w0p

[@BrockBaker-fd6gi]

I knew the electric start was on the way after the last ride that’s going to be nice

[@brodyromano]

Love to see a local Montanan gettin after it

[@matthewheberlie1694]

For your hand, when you went to PT did they try to do scraping? Had a similar issue as you with random swelling and doing that fixed it for me

[@DavidGogginsmoto]

Bike sounds like it is running very lean I would check the bike over again or richen the carb up some more

[@Zack-sp7tw]

love your content keep it up from Australia

[@jessebarry3868]

love your vids keep em goin

[@ilmangiamandragole7857]

Dang your videos are so interesting, they keep you on the screen for all the time. And the content and quality is really good, hope you keep your "style" of videos like now, maybe in the future I hope to see some Motard too maybe, would be cool for the next giveaway

[@Lezsi2]

Maybe 2 teeth higher rear sporcket for easier front end pops? (Ín case you if you still didn't figured the wheelies till the end of the ride, -it seems you got those wheelies as well already : )

[@jacksonstanfill1003]

Regarding the hand issues you may have a slipped disc in your shoulder, my dad had the same issue in both !

[@modellstuart62]

That’s a sweet bike, I’d love to be able to build them up as good as you can.

[@djtex6817]

Have you had a PT check in your forearm and your neck for nerve entrapments? I have issues with my thumb pads in both hand and after a lot of searching a PT did some work on my C6 in my neck poof issue gone. It has come back but we are working on fixing issues with my upper back and neck (bump helmets w nods and pletors over the years have finally come back to bite me). Could be even a muscle in your forearm pinching the nerve off to your hand or something as well

[@nivero5038]

HGS still makes new exhausts for that bike.

[@diyjeff1838]

Great video and build.

[@kameronleitzel8109]

If your hand is a messed up nerve it will take around 8 months to feel fully better I just try to ignore mine then let it heal over winter

[@chrisSA-pf7yn]

A supercharger!!! Nice

[@chrismansker8870]

you need a nerve conductivity test most likely a pinched ulnar nerve in your elbow i had same thing

[@phatheadracingmx]

Well done!

[@ovidiumuncu9168]

The sprockets also very important . What's the size front and rear ?

[@MMKnight_1]

E start baby!

[@LiamEvans-dq2pt]

Also a thing with the 2006 model ktm200exc or xcw is that in that yr the engine got less powerfull compared to the 2005 previous models. So from 2006 on the engine wasn't as powerful as the early models. Compared to my friends 1999 ktm200exc my 2006 kmt200exc has a lot less power and doesn't hit as hard. Also I have tried both stock and Fmf gnarly pipes and there is almost no difference, maybe the stock pipe revs out a little more but thats it.

[@schotzfired]

My buddy’s 200 has a gnarly and has plenty of top end power, shouldn’t be that big of a deal

[@lucasandulescu4210]

yes dude!!

[@nicholasphillips8189]

I have a problem with my 2022 crf125f 4 stroke. where I can only lift the front tire up only in first. No matter how much I give her the beans or my timing with the clutch I just can’t bring her up. If you have any tips I will be grateful but I also think I might need to just get more riding time in

[@ronlawson5819]

Is the power valve opening all the way sometimes they are in the wrong spot on the arm

[@JSV_BKLF]

YOu🎉should🎉try to wear a brace that holds your pink against your ringfinger. Thats helps

[@richardehair-kz9np]

Hey Kincade, sounds like your getting it dialed in. I have my original pipe for my 08 xcw200 (currently running pro circuit) I'm in the twin falls idaho area. My bike runs really good so I doubt I ever put the stock one back on. Just need to figure out how to get it to you.

[@KincadePavich]

Hey Richard, I'd love to try that pipe out! Let me know how much you'd like for it. If you want to send me an email ([e-mail]), I could get you a shipping label as well. Let me know, thanks!!

[@Idk56373]

Would you say it’s better to build an older bike or get a newer one? Since I’m debating if it’s worth it to build my sx250 07 this winter.

[@eamh2002]

2:34 looks like my dt125r acceleration tbh, weird how its so gutless :)

[@JerJauvin]

Estart incoming!!!

[@keithmason5584]

250 header fits the 200 👍

[@Dirt_Serpent]

Do you have recommendations for increasing bottom end power on my 2003 yz125? I really want to get an old ktm like yours as that was my dream bike that got away when I was kid (let’s just say I made bad choices) but to get one I have to sell my 125 but it’s my only bike so I need to get everything I can get out of it in the meantime.

[@Dirt_Serpent]

Btw I do think you are losing out on some torque. When I had mine i could hardly ever keep both wheels on the ground.

[@JBNRYT]

4:32 WHAT IS THAT PICTURE ON THE WALL

[@EgoGhostX]

Does anybody know why your 2 stroke would change like power wise every so often Btw for the bike lifting up i feel the same it seems to have a point where it wants to lift up And i have the same problem with the pipe being crooked i dont know why it is or if its builg like that

[@Kurosaki990Ichigo]

I'm gonna be honest, this thing still sounds super lean. Make sure you check and measure the power valve inside the cylinder.

[@DavidGogginsmoto]

Agree

[@rztrzt]

Yeah, that bike isn't right, you can tell just by listening to it.

[@ovidiumuncu9168]

I had 200 fir 5 years ,and for sure that bike runing lean Suzuki needle 162 mj and 42 pj is the way

[@rztrzt]

@@ovidiumuncu9168 He's using a smartcarb. I used to to run CEK#3, 180main, 45 pilot, a/s 1.5turns out for linear power. Got those specs from JD Jetting before he started the company.

[@visavissuck3446]

Carpal Tunnel?

[@johndimeo1821]

How bout a shorter muffler. Might add top

[@jonb-h2z]

Where are you riding? Looks exactly like a spot we ride in colorado.

[@KincadePavich]

This is in Montana!

[@jonb-h2z]

@@KincadePavich I know I was wondering where in montana

[@Articqt]

Where in Colorado? Looking for more riding spots

[@jonb-h2z]

@@Articqt rampart range, theres alot open there, grand junction (skinny ridge area), Buena Vista, woodland park, Pueblo motorsports park. Ramparts by far my favorite but they closed down this trail called powerlines but there's tons of riding in there still (get a trail map). Those are my top areas besides tracks. If you want a challenging track thundervalley is a pretty fun but difficult track, theres also a track called Watkins which has 3 separate tracks beginner, intermediate and advanced. Theres tons of places to ride but these are my top. Also the puteur, red feathers area is fun if you don't like crowds and trail riding, montazuma is good for trail riding. If you want a challenging hill climb theres a climb called radical hill which is puckering lol

[@KeepAmericagreat2024]

How does the low end compare to the KDX 200?

[@KincadePavich]

I'd love to have the KDX back to compare again now. The KDX has a more aggressive "hit". My 200 now feels strong, but the linearity in the power makes it feels like a smooth transition even when you need a hit.

[@malachigarratt2250]

Definitely try some chiropractics for that hand

[@golfie1v]

Nice👊

[@orangelemon9786]

Finals ongoing, gotta watch a dirt bike video first.

[@gcb633]

Nice bike. I had a 125EXC. Same motor, different crank cylinder etc, you could loft the front wheel from 1st to 5th gear at almost any rpm.

[@benferguson1191]

Hey man, have you looked into cubital tunnel syndrome regarding your hand? Could be a possibility considering it seems to affect your pinky finger.

[@FloatingValves]

The kegger was a good time. Definitely going to come back next year.

[@mikeyhaney2557]

Tunnel of guyon syndrome could be what you are experiencing in your hand.

[@KincadePavich]

Interesting - just started reading up on that. Certainly sounds like that's a realistic possibility. Thanks for the tip.

[@DavidGogginsmoto]

Sounds very lean! And especially you saying the power isn’t there, is one major symptom

[@gcbjydc]

Yo nice bike (first)

[@theonlydriver]

Find yourself a good Physio therapist man. Will defs help a lot. Daily hand exercises

[@aaronnortje3474]

It still doesn’t sound right

I am so excited to see him at Silver kings with the 200😅

[@chamelarrogante351]

I love you bro❤

[@mutt2jeff]

Honestly, it still looks like a turd power wise. I will let you test ride my Beta 200 at silver kings, see if there is a major difference 😝

[@AarondaveCselngaSelnga-go2nc]

Can you gave me a bike please 🥺🙏

[@SilasTangAndreasen]

nah💀

[@alexj6408]

There's a nerve called the ulnar nerve that runs through the elbow and innervates the hand where you described. You may have cubital tunnel syndrome. I'd look it up and ask your family doctor first. Could speak to a orthopaedic or sports physician

[@rztrzt]

2:34 That bike still doesn't sound right. Front wheel should easily lift with a bit of clutch.

[@ovidiumuncu9168]

Your 200 is lean The keihin carburetor is amazing if you have patience to set it right 😊

[@lophophorawilliamsii9740]

lose the smart carb and get a keihin

[@SmartCarbFuelSystems]

Nah, he needs to lose the Gnarly.

[@tylerbirge9217]

Just sent a dm on Instagram, I may have a header. Not sure.
