[@deancooper5513]

Been waiting for this build, looking forward to see how you customise this bike. Ktm were crazy to stop making the 200 they’re such sweet bikes.

[@dominikrojan1101]

As an owner of freshly rebuilt 06 EXC 200 I am really stoked on this project!

[@mariussantha3029]

I had a KTM 200sx, best bike ever. Regret selling it..... Can't wait to see the build 😊😊😊👍

[@Declan_Walter06]

Stoked on this build. Always love seeing the older xc Ktms brought back to life!!!

[@NizeDirt]

I have a 07 200 xc that I've raced for a couple years now and I am very impressed how it can hold its own with newer bikes. Very tough bike, sad ktm stopped making it though

[@mikeschlup5279]

I am fascinated by your aftermarket products and usage. .

[@mikehudge78x]

I owned an 04 EXC and SX 200 years ago and loved both of them currently I have a 23 sx 250 smoker and a 21 factory edition 450 - in the process of buying a 24 beta rx 300 as well - I have been racing mx since 1977 and still going strong but for 24 I am going to play with hardscrabble on the 300 - I have raced a couple over the years but your channel and my getting older lol 😆 has me wanting to do something different etc - thank you for you great videos and all you share with us 🇺🇸

[@KincadePavich]

That's awesome! Great to hear you're going strong! I get to ride with some pretty impressive older guys every year and it's so great to see! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Keep rippin!

[@Josh-Silvia]

Very cool. I have an 05 200 xcw. I bought it last year are redid it over the winter from the frame powder coating on up. I love the dam thing. 200’s are awesome. There’s a few swaps out there that have put more modern plastic , tanks, seats and subframe on the older bikes to update the look. It’s cool although the old look doesn’t bother me. From my experience:I have newer style triple clamps and the older stock forks. I wish the Kreft AER 48’s on my 300xc were as plush. At lower speeds. I also wish the Lectron on my 300xc was as crisp as the old Keihin pwk38 on my 200.

[@MrBalzzz]

So stoked for this! currently building a 2004 ktm 200. Love your videos!

[@KincadePavich]

Might have to get the 200s out together next season!

[@th1npower]

.. what gearing are you going to choose? I find 13:50-52 help these small bores climb well ...

[@mrhura2830]

pretty cool your doing this im rebuilding a 2002 mxc200 right now and you just happened to come out with this video

[@Danman1972]

Can't wait to see the finished bike. Love the 200s. My wife has a 13. For injury reasons she may not continue to ride. I might have to let it go. I have a early 06 KTM450. The early models were horrible for the quarter turn. First year of that. Once I had it replaced (KTM had a recall) it didn't leak. Maybe I was lucky, but you might try a newer replacement cap if you don't want to run a different tank or a 07 tank (same, but different material and cap).

[@mw4518]

Hey Kincade! I have a newer 200 (2013) that I’ve had forever, and here is some things I have learned with mine. 1.Front end upgrade. Your 2006 will have 18-20 adjustable clamps, whereas the newer stuff is mostly 22mm. The old clamps will work with those new forks, if that is what you want to do. The 22mm newer clamps may make the bike feel more stable, if that’s what you are looking for. My 200 came with 22s, and I swapped them with 20s to give it better front end traction; however I do ride in very tight singletrack where I rarely get out of 4th gear. 2. Clutch: I currently run a Brembo Slave cylinder with a Magura Master cylinder, so I wouldn’t worry too much about your scenario. The only thing I would be worried about is that the Brembo clutches usually take brake fluid, whereas the Maguras use mineral oil. My bike originally had all Brembo (clutch and master), so it has all the proper seals to handle the much nastier brake fluid. My concern with your setup is that it doesn’t have the correct seals to handle brake fluid, so if a seal goes in the slave cylinder, your engine gets completely trashed. You may be able to find a substitute that both of the components like. (I run a mineral oil based ATF in mine) 3. Motor: The 200 motor is crazy versatile, and extremely customizable. A lot of parts from different years and models (SX, XC, XCW) interchange to give you any sort of power you like. The best mod I did was put an SX CDI (from a 2010 150sx) in my 200, as it livened it up a ton without sacrificing bottom end. Yours, being a 2006, you may be able to only use 2003-2007 125-200 CDIs, but don’t quote me on that.

[@KincadePavich]

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. Someone else commented about the brake fluid vs. mineral oil too - I haven't researched to see if there is a Brembo slave that will fit my engine. If there is, I may swap to Brembo all around. If there isn't, even a newer Magura master would be a great upgrade. I also wonder if the Brembo master + Magura slave combo would function properly with mineral oil, or if the Brembo master somehow requires brake fluid. Seems there is a danger in using brake fluid in place of mineral oil, but I'm not sure there is a danger in trying mineral oil in place of brake fluid? Though I don't fully know the properties of each of them. Interesting note on the CDI swap; I'll do some research in that area!

[@mw4518]

@@KincadePavich No problem man, your vids are awesome!! The worry with brake fluid is now corrosive it is. Say, for example, the slave seal went, it would basically pump an extremely corrosive fluid into your motor, basically destroying it. Good luck with everything, hope the build turns out awesome… they usually do!

[@jappiemoto]

Ah let’s go very excited for this build!!

[@ottokirk2325]

I got my 200SX/06 chassis/17 YZ front end handling as good as my 22 YZ250F...pretty much. Actually I put the YZ stuff onto my 24 300SX and the 300SX front end onto the 200, fork uses the Coppersmith Ohlin's spring cartridge in one leg. Both bikes are sweet.

[@knobbysidedown4258]

I was just looking at an '04 on marketplace. Thinking about picking that up and doing KYB conversion up front. Great video. Excited to see how your build turns out.

[@ottokirk2325]

'17 YZ front end on my 200SX was easy peasy. A Drier wall vent from Ace Hardware had the right gauge for shimming the lower KTM triple clamps.

[@zack3241]

Nice bike man. You’ve inspired me to grab my highschool 02 ktm 200 from my dads shed and bring her back to her former glory. Gonna rebuild it this winter. Beyond stoked

[@KincadePavich]

Love to hear it man! Long live the 200s!

[@thecosmicowl928]

Thanks for another awesome video I've recently bought my first dirt bike but unfortunately the clutch side case has a huge crack in it. Either way i am really glad that it is here and im going to save up to buy a new case.

[@KincadePavich]

Is it the actual case half or the outer clutch cover? Depending how bad it is and where it is, JB Weld can actually work pretty well.

[@thecosmicowl928]

@@KincadePavich the actual case half and the crack is extremely bad. But atleast is that the only problem tho the rest of the bike is is grate condition 😁

Jessey Ansley good rider

[@johnharding2912]

Nice, man. Im rebuilding a 2005 250 exc, very similar bike (nearly done) have a look at oberon clutch upgrade, im pairing that new slave cylinder with a new brembo master that allows better performance and you can move to using dot 4 instead of mineral oil. Should look it up. The magura masters are weak and prone to corrosion internally and the oberon slave upgrade is much stronger than the magura and better sealed (its billet too, so looks nice). Its been a while since i loooked at it but i am notnsure the brembo will work with the magura slave because the magira has to run mineral oil and the brembo is designed for dot4/5. Hence my reasoning

[@johnharding2912]

The slave for 200 is model CLU 1600 i believe. I can check the master if you want but im sure you probs know already.

[@onem26]

I LOVE jour builds

[@IsaacStein-k1c]

best KZbinr to be alive 🙌

[@samsportelli3889]

What year are the clamps your getting and what are they originally off?

[@GabeCarr-q5i]

Love the build! Ive got an 02' 125sx im currently rebuilding and wanting to do this same front end swap. Is it possible for me to use the OEM 02' tripple clamps and just fabricate an adapter plate like the ones sold for the new generations? or do the 2020 front fenders not fit correctly between the tripple clamps?

[@KincadePavich]

Problem is the new gen fenders bolt onto the front of the clamp - it might be able to be done, but you'd need to make a pretty robust adapter with threads on the front I believe. Issue you might run into is fender sitting too low or too far forward. Not sure though, have not tried. Fenders are cheap - if that's the route you want to go, I'd buy one and see if you can modify it to work! That's what I did for the CR250 build and it turned out solid.

[@owend_8]

i got oem radiator gaurds for my bike that look like those and they dont fit. they feel like they are going to break. any tips?

[@HTAracing558]

old magura uses mineral oil. if you put the brembo clutch (dot 4/5.1) the magura sleeve cylinder gaskets will get leaky en crack and so on (tried it once on a trip and i broke the clutch purse... didn't last long). maybe if you change the o-rings etc. aswell it will work.... otherwise a 2018 husqy magura clutch setup?

[@ThePetros67]

Love the channel , one of the best!!!! Question ?? How will the newer brembo clutch pump swap with magura clutch pump ?? Because the brembo uses brake fluid when the magura mineral oil ?? Would this be workable ?? to operate with magura clutch slave ?

[@KincadePavich]

Great question! Definitely need to figure out what’s possible - if maybe it’s possible to switch the brembo master to mineral oil, or if there is a brembo slave that will fit this engine. Still in early stages of planning all this!

[@TomThompson-d9m]

I'll be putting my cr500 engine in my 08 ktm 450 chassis this next week.

[@tomebojkov2083]

Hey man you are the beset. I learned so much from you!! You could do a Yamaha DT125R restoration the legend of enduro

[@KincadePavich]

Love to hear it! Might have to do something vintage eventually, but it's always hard to pick what's next! Infinite choices!

[@vegardberve]

Just a heads up - Magura uses mineral oil and Brembo uses brake fluid, you cannot mix and match there. Awesome video! The 200 looks like the perfect enduro/single track bike.

[@KincadePavich]

I wonder what the effects of a switch would be? If that fluid requirement is a result of something in the master, or some seal in the slave? I'll do some digging - I suppose the only concern is fluid somehow leaking past the slave. Thanks for the comment!

[@vegardberve]

@@KincadePavich I think usually the seals will swell and you get a stiff clutch or it just straight up leaks everywhere. Maybe the bolt patterns on the slave is the same so you can just swap the whole thing to a Brembo?

[@michaelschlup-c5o]

any plans for the rear shock in terms of upgrades ?

[@KincadePavich]

It’s being revalved by DSC Motorsports!

[@Crazylumberjack]

Kincade I was just curious what is the engine stand you use for your builds? I wanna rebuild my 2013 RMZ 250 so i was curious.

[@KincadePavich]

I believe it’s the fly racing engine stand. It’s the cheapest one I could fine years ago. The ones that rotate are a little more useful, but this one gets the job done!

[@justingardner3569]

Kind of a cool idea, but the problem with that generation of KTM wasn’t the front end, it was the rear end. You’ll have nice forks with a linkageless rear end that’s stiff and bouncy, super easy to swap out especially in high speed enduro. Wouldn’t go too crazy on this one’s budget, you’ll be right back on your 350 when it’s done

[@KincadePavich]

I don't think I'll push it on this bike in terms of speed the way I do on my 350, but I still think the front end will help a lot with my level of comfort on it. The rear end hasn't bitten me yet, but I have been warned of it. That said, I'm really aiming to see how capable I can make this thing for hard enduro type riding. I know the front end won't have that much impact on that, but other items will - SmartCarb, gearing, tire selection, etc. Stil lots of planning to do for this, but overall I'm looking forward to the project itself as well.
