Dirt Bike Magazine Editor Ron Lawson built a KTM 500EXC to his liking with the help of leading industry brands like Taco Moto, FMF, Hinson, UFO, ODI, and more. "As far as performance goes, everyone should be aware that the bike is tuned to meet sound and emissions standards and that it’s no longer legal if you tamper with that stuff. I tampered with all that stuff. Come and take me away. I installed a GET ECU with a map that Mike developed for the FMF RCT 4.1 slip-on muffler and the stock headpipe-which was polished by the guys at MX Refurb.It goes without saying that I had to switch the tires. At the suggestion of Jay Clark, I gave the Dunlop 950 DOT trials tire a try in the rear. This is a fully legal tire on the road and is said to get excellent traction on hard-packed dirt and rocks, which is mostly what I ride. It isn’t very good in mud or sand, which I try to avoid. The wheels are from Nacstar, simply because I believe in having two sets of wheels for any dual-sport bike, You don’t want to burn your good rubber on the pavement. When you install real off-road tires on the KTM, you have to install rim locks and balance the wheel, in case you don’t already know. I used Tacomoto’s wheel weight kit with one rim lock in each tire.’ve only ridden the bike once since completion, but I already know that it’s incredible. It’s smooth, fast and the EFI mapping is flawless. There’s a full story coming in the print version of Dirt Bike Magazine."
