My honest 4 hours Ktm review

[@Rick40years]

Awesome bike. I love it. One small complaint, the oil drain nut is nestled against the frame and cant get a socket on it. However otherwise perfectly engineered. It is also outstanding on the track.

Yeah it's a pain in the butt, I just use a wrench. It's more of a pain with a skid plate

Thanks for the review. I recently bought the same bike. As you found out those openings under the seat are useless for lifting the bike. Do you find that rear strap distorts the fender when you use it? Does it seem like it will hold up, I assume it’s attached to the rear fender mount bolts underneath

I was worried about the bolts under the fender but they don't seem to rub or hit the tire. The rear strap doesn't seem to leave markings or distort fender. The front strap has rubber coating over the strap and seems to rub and leave black marks on the front fender. Other wise its a great bike. I came off a 2 stroke before this, this bike doesn't really like lugging around at low RPM It likes being rode hard at high RPM

@@Handguardsandhandlebars I was actually pleasantly surprised with the amount of bottom end power the bike has. For the first hour I’m not able to go above 7000 RPM. And then 70% for the first three hours of use. I only have 1.2 hours on it so I’m still restricted. seems less prone to stalling than my 350XCF though. I’m surprised you didn’t want to put in a new rear spring for your weight. I am the same weight and I went with the 4.8 from Slavens in 250 mm length. That got my free sag and rider sag perfect. Enjoy the bike. Keep with the updates.
