I hope you guys enjoy the video! If you'd like to support the channel, I'd love to see you rocking some merch - every purchase gives you a chance to win the KLX 110 I'm building! kincadepavich.com/apparel

[@Feliciano_77]

Can’t wait!

[@mikecollins8241]

Now to spend all your evening watching Rich Larsen's (IRC Tire guy) videos :) Feet on pegs, driving rear wheel into the ground, key on those loose, steep climbs ;)

[@ronlawson5819]

Bike came out sweet,Morgan is definitely a great dude has lots of knowledge

[@joshellis6801]

It looks sick. Been nice seeing the bike come together

[@HooligansMx]

Definitely love the 2 stroke content !!! 2 smokers are what dirtbikes were meant to be

[@levispecht360]

The Pipestone hill climb makes me wish we had our GoPros on for the Corbly’s ride a couple years ago on the RM 😂.

[@wyaspence]

Its so satisfying to see the finished product after following along for what feels like such a long time

[@robh3267]

Shane Watts used to kick ass on a KTM 200, it will take some getting used to as it requires a little different riding style than your 350, Morgan is a good guy and a true dirt biker to the core.

[@JoelsWorkshop]

Always check the simple things first before assuming the worst. I have numerous times forgotten to turn the petcock to reserve instead of “on” when working on my bike (and it just had a small amount of gas in the tank) and I was wondering why it wasn’t starting.

[@TheMustardTiger420]

That 200 is awesome good job man I really enjoyed the build series and appreciated that the 200 has been literally brought back to life to modern specs

[@zachfarkash6430]

Bike looks great sounds pretty good too. Morgan is an awesome man. Does a lot for the dirt bike community glad? He was able to help you out. He is helping me out on the 29th of March to get my 89CR250 front suspension conversion done.

[@highlandcycles]

Nice man! That thing is going to kill it at Silver Kings

[@gradyshifley4255]

Great video man. Looking forward to seeing the bike shred in the future.

[@Josh-Silvia]

Awesome! I’m thinking of riding my 200 in our harescramble this weekend instead of my 300. Also, Morgan’s channel is awesome!

[@ryantrainor637]

Bro that bike looks awesome and that updated front end works so well

[@Unqualified2ride]

that thing is a sick bike! cant wait to see you race big dog!

[@patpaluch9842]

Bike came out super nice! Congrats! I did the same thing with the choke yesterday. It was right after I created a fresh batch of premix too, so naturally my first thought was that I added too much oil because the bike was chugging and smoking like crazy 😅

[@Danman1972]

What a great build! Yes, Morgan is awesome and have followed his channel for a long time.

[@SuperWiez]

Try lifting your clutch and brake lever to a more horizontal position on the bars. It will help you get your weight back to climb better while still having good control. Lekker build

[@noahfoufoulas4761]

Love the video! I still have my dad’s 08 200 and love riding that thing! They are such a blast.

[@ryanseipel4066]

Love seeing the 200 getting some love! I have had a 2013 200exc since brand new. They have more torque than you think. I never use first gear even in the tough stuff. Also my 200 was the first year with factory electric start. The engine looks very similar to your bike. Maybe you could retrofit electic start?

[@griffithracingteam2412]

we'll be at coker also. we'll try to find you around Jesse's pit this weekend! great bike brother

[@roberturmosi-dirtbike-atv]

That bike come out really good, Almost makes me to try to find a 200 😅

[@jordanbm33]

Sounds like your clutch is slipping on the steep climbs. Not sure if you’ve figured that out yet but worth checking on it. Sweet bike!

[@Enduroxoriates]

I look forward to see that!

[@chrisvozza6530]

Sweet climb. I wish KTM would bring this one back to compete with that beta 200rr

[@patamaalbo]

Awesome build there. Love to watch you build those bikes🔥

[@rickypreece]

Such a good looking bike. Looks even better in person. 🤘🏻

[@KincadePavich]

Nice meeting you man thanks for saying what’s up!

[@johnmurwin6963]

That Choke location has got me more than once!! Was about 15mins into the first lap when I realized that was the problem haha

[@SmartCarbFuelSystems]

It's the exact same place as stock tho? 🤔 The difference isn't the choke location, it's that this oversized tank blocks access to it. Out of sight, out of mind.

[@johnmurwin6963]

@@SmartCarbFuelSystems yeah I also have an oversized tank so it's just weird. On other bikes it's in different spots that are a bit easier to see.

[@TheMustardTiger420]

That is literally the coolest 200 about man

[@Thathondakid09]

The graphics on the bike are so clean

[@andrecontois8510]

Get a tm designworks chain guide. The metal one will bend permanently and mess up your chain or push it off. An all plastic one might flex temporarily and keep going.

[@brettlaage9687]

Wow, that looks nice!

[@EgoGhostX]

I have the same issue with leaving the choke on its Invisible behind the large gas tank. Also do your top fork bolts hit the larger gas tank bc mine do

[@stevenbarber925]

Sick bro. Love it!

[@jesseubermuth]

Im interested to see how you like those soft bar clamps for hard enduro, in thinking of making the switch to them, sick bike!

[@KincadePavich]

I will say I didn't think about vibration at all. I believe they do they're job well. Excited for more time on the bike!

[@Ridefastorgetpassed]

My kids got one of those its a woods weapon for sure !!!

[@JoaoOliveira-ds7ph]

Hello from Portugal, I have an original 200' currently using 13/47 for more technical climbs, trying to use more low rpms 👍👍

[@rond4212]

Great video, love my 200. What size tires did you end running? Getting ready for a set and debating bumping up or staying stock size.

[@lbeck119]

Morgan is the best.... Super good dude.... You really really need to look up Chris at motominded... He eats, sleeps. Breaths everything electrical on dirt bikes.... Plus he makes super trick 3D printed parts🤘🤘

[@Mockle07]

Awesome build series for sure and I understand that the build and doing something a bit different is entirely the point, but how do you think your creation would stack up against a Beta 200?

[@TheTownTechnician8993]

Hey absolutely love the videos! This Ktm is sick. You inspired me to make my own videos what kind of equipment do you use? the camera?and editing software thank you!

[@alexfeatherstone6676]

For those hills try 2nd gear and alot if revs and clutch. Easier to control wheel spin.

[@Regan_Tatham]

I have a 2013 ktm 200, even though it has the stock keihin carb it starts first kick and runs super crisp. I wonder if they changed the engine from 06 to 13 because you seemed to be having to rev it heaps to get power out of it whereas my bike has heaps of low end grunt like a 250/300. It doesn't like to rev heaps like a 125 though as the engine vibrates due to the piston being very heavy.

[@nevadahardenduro]

He likely needs to just re jet

[@ChaseBuiltBikes]

The 200 is a ripper!

[@victorneamtu7485]

It’s the first time that I haven’t watched your new video in the exact day when you uploaded because I was busy and I was really looking forward toseeing it, great video as always, by far my favourite channel on youtube🫡

[@thecosmicowl928]

Lookkkinn clean🎉

[@iguanatron]

You’re gonna feel like you were beat to death after an afternoon gncc race on a 450. Good luck!

[@xstijger]

Man i love you video so mats

[@AjackLee4]

You really have to ride those 200s like a 125, pinned for power. Super cool though!

[@jean-pierregertenbach3370]

I have a 125 and ktm 200 2016 Its nothing like eachother 200 is so much more torque but maybe the older ones dont have alot of torque

[@TheKarelKramer]

The old one have great torque as well.

[@YoJoe-s4b]

No you don’t.

[@AjackLee4]

@@jean-pierregertenbach3370 From what I gather they have torque like a 250 4t but the powerband is way up there compared to a 300 or 250 2t enduro.

[@Josh-Silvia]

@@jean-pierregertenbach3370same. I have an 05 200. It’s really fun and definitely has some torque.

[@joelbroad1865]

Yo you need to get an rk tek head for that thing

[@carlosmurgelcddr.1418]

I have a 204 200 and love it. I am curious about the fan, did you install a battery on it?

[@mikecollins8241]

He did, also mentioned he still needs to add a charging system :)

[@KincadePavich]

Yes, check out the previous episode!

[@th1npower]

Try 13/51 or 52 gearing. 2nd gear WOT for hill climbs, clutch like hell. 1st becomes bail-out gear for the super tight, technical stuff.

[@fagarasvladut3343]

I would suggest the same. I go with 12/48 and it's amazing for hard Enduro

[@jaimieboy999]

Defo must be something with that clutch my 200 looked like it had way more power than that. Nice build though

[@nikolaiborisov7751]

bro i love your content keep up the good work

[@Huntingontop961]

Clean bike dang ❤️❤️🔥

[@jackcampbell6779]

The air forks are nice in Rocky sections, until hour 2 of the hard ride, because the oil in the air forks heats up very quickly and they begin to lose performance. That being said, they still perform alright, but the small bump sensitivity is drastically reduced. At least in my experience

[@Fassfilmz]

You may want to put a brake snake on it cause the rear brake pedal gets bought easy in the rocks

[@rogerkk4znuraywwf396]

What size rear tire are you running?

[@richardlennon4148]

Do you have a clutch weight?

[@jasonstout5086]

What shinko tire do you recommend for intermediate to rocky terrain Pennsylvania woods Thanks! Keep up the great content!

[@KincadePavich]

Cheater 505 and Cheater 525 are both great in rocks. 525 is a bit better all around with a little sacrifice in the rocks compared to the 505 in my opinion. Non-cheater 525 is my go to for fast, not really rocky terrain

[@nt3523]

I remember you said the flywheel was already weighted. I would try more, maybe. And start experimenting with gearing. The way you struggled up that hill was concerning.

[@KincadePavich]

Bike does not currently have a flywheel weight on it. Will experiment with putting it back on. Also not sure if GoPro does that hill justice, but that's a tricky hill even on my 350. It's very steep and very loose.

[@nt3523]

@@KincadePavichThat should help a bit and play with the gearing, too. I'm in Belgrade. I ride Pipestone quite a bit.

[@minegun3]

Do they have any of the skid plates for a 01 300 exc?

[@MR_HIGH_CONTENT_710]

Awesome😊

[@StandlyRichards25]

Back tires flat ! All American classic

[@AneroFilms]

Sounds like your burning the hell out of the clutch im not gonna lie

[@KincadePavich]

It is possible. I did feel like I was revving really high in a few situations for how much the bike was moving, along with the fact that engine temp was getting hotter than expected. Going to install some stiffer springs and see if it helps.

[@johnharding2912]

Get the oberon clutch slave man, seriously

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

It's definitely 2nd gear but your issue isn't 1st or.2nd it's 200cc when you need 300cc .

[@desert-timber-outdoors6577]

Brother when it comes to small bore two strokes in the enduro you gotta learn how to hit everything with all the momentum and keep it! I bought a 23 ktm 125 to go with my 300 and ride it in the sawtooth mountains. You will be amazed after a bunch of rides on a small bore in the steep and nasty then jump back on a big bore and you will be leagues ahead of where you were…… they are great trainers….. and nothing is more satisfying then cleaning the steep and ugly on a 125 while all your buddies struggle on their 250/300s 🤣🤣😂

[@gizi321]

It seems that it’s need to be short shifted

[@stonedeadoutdoors189]

Since you dont have electric start yoi should put a rekluse on it

[@velocityyy7710]

What’s your GoPro setup?

[@KincadePavich]

I've got a Hero 10 Black and I use a simple chin mount from Amazon. Was shooting 4K/30 Superview in this video.

[@tivancloete6960]

Hey dude. Awesome build. If you are reading this. Quick tip. Youre handguards are too high. Your levers should be aligned with the bars on the guards. Or else the plastic flexes and your levers bend anyways. I ride a lot and have bend my levers with these guards. Cheerz

[@andrewwilson9130]

I'm not 100% sure, but it kinda sounds like your clutch is slipping

[@enduro_j]

For a “dipshit” Ur bikes are so cool. It’s crazy u can make something so old look brand new. Sounds nice too.

[@merunaki2883]

Rip

[@TomThompson-d9m]

I'll teach you how to climb

[@HooligansMx]

I just dont get your bike choice lmao dont get me wrong the bike turned out dope but like that yz325 build you did soemthing along those lines would have been so much better the 200 is to much like a 125

[@KincadePavich]

Kind of the point. I want to see if I can finish Silver Kings on a bike considered underpowered for the event.

[@tassu3983]

clutch is slipping

[@KincadePavich]

I think you're right. Ordered heavier springs, we'll see if that solves it

[@aaronnortje3474]

Just some advice from a hard enduro rider that just came off a 200 LESS RPM PLEASEEEE that’s not how you ride hard enduro. I do know the smart card takes low end away( it’s a fact Ik people you’ve tried ) but less rpm please

[@Andy-co6pn]

I never thought 2 strokes needed an e start until i did hard enduro..uphill, off camber kickstarts were a total pain..
