Building My KTM 200 to Race Silver Kings Hard Enduro

Welcome to episode 2 of my KTM 200 build series! I made the decision to register for Silver Kings Hard Enduro in the A class with the intention of riding this KTM 200. In this episode we take care of the frame, tear down the suspension, install a seat cover, and give the engine some love.

Always a good day when Kincade posts!

[@KincadePavich]

Appreciate your support!

[@brettlaage9687]

I’ve been waiting for too long for an update! Worth the wait. Your videos are always fun to watch. I really like that seat cover.

[@KincadePavich]

Awesome man, always appreciate your support!

[@djantix1200]

Wow, that power-valve is super interesting like you said! I too have become intrigued by all the different designs of the power-valve on different makes and years. The motor looks good! Nice work. And yes, Cam at PrymeMX is a great dude!

[@masonmiller9507]

Love

[@f5tornadeau]

Love this channel. I ride a 200 myself. Underrated bike for off road. My dad used to say it was the best balance for power/weight. I need to get some of those cleaning/polishing pads. Such a great design.

[@theking1458]

Always makes my dad watching your vids!!

[@smward1126]

Felt like we were waiting forever ! Excited to watch

[@awesomeproducts1582]

Finally 😂 I’ve been waiting for your next post!!

[@kenwolfe5697]

Great progress man. Keep it going

[@noahh6032]

Awesome! I own a 2016 ktm 200 myself and its absolutely beautiful. A racer myself I must admit that an old ktm250 or 300 will always be a little more capable but man this 200 is so much fun. Basically feels like a mx125 but with lots more torque and i wouldnt trade it for anything

[@deancooper5513]

100% I'm not selling my 200 mate, they are great bikes that make great company with a 250 and 300 2t. Anyone who has owned a 200 usually regrets selling it!

[@Josh-Silvia]

I have an 05. It’s completely resto’d and I have no plans to ever get rid of it.

[@jonathandeem9270]

Fricking great videos! Keep it up man!!

[@ronlawson5819]

Another stellar video kid keep them coming

[@user-fb7vd6nu7e]

Cant wait till its finished watching from wales seen all your videos even helped with a bike i recently done keep up the good work kin

[@Josh-Silvia]

I think you’ll love that thing in an enduro ride. It feels so light that it’s easy to ride all day. It should have enough low end, hard to say as I’ve never ridden up there

[@Dirt_Devotion]

Can relate to the cold weather being in QC🥶 all i want to do is wrench and ride lmao. Always very excited when i see you have a new video up!

[@jonathanthompson3657]

Looking at getting my first bike and these videos just give me more of an itch for one! The build looks like it’s going to be awesome!

[@joshcullen8472]

A little torching, tooth brush, and grinding can work magic on crusty old parts. Man +1. Metal 0. Nice job on that 200! My favorite KTM model for sure. Wish they still made one.

[@Unclej1mmy_]

Sick bike bro 🤘

[@k.n.v.b1113]

great vid

[@user-wt7uk6vx1n]

You are the best youtuber❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tjschuyler01]

That gen KTM 200 is hard to beat. I’m an average (155lb) rider and I enter the woods top 5 on dead engine starts against modern bikes in the 250 class. No E-start, but it kickstarts so reliably and quick and the torque is incredible. Mtn bike feel through the woods..lock in and flow. It’s a very competitive bike. You just don’t get tired.

[@CraigHenry-zq8jz]

I remember looking at the ktm,200 at one time 👏👍

[@coltonmccoy863]

Bro I’ve been waiting for a build upload for so long !!!!!!!!

[@coltonmccoy863]

Love the vids man keep it up

[@jonhanna6384]

Great video as always. The only problem with subscribing is that I’ll watch a new video right away and then have to wait for the next one! No binge watching a build.

[@ottokirk2325]

As far as the PV setting. Look up the 'Langston setting', Running near it offers more torque earlier in the rpm's. Linear PB. I've also found the STIC Super X carb is the only thing that makes substantial Tq right off idle, as in unstoppable lug factor. My 200SX doesn't require wheel spin to make great trail power. Each gear also pulls harder and farther by a significant amount.

[@isaiahmelodyansley9884]

man he makes such good vids!

[@KincadePavich]

My guy!!

[@Yoda-em5mt]

The 200 is the best i have the best one 07 last of the good ones . One tip is run atf in the gear box shifts way nicer and change it every 100km or 60m look forward to seeing it finished .

[@hunterduppong1410]

man i love the channel ! i ride a 2012 ktm 200xcw and i will never sell it , funnest bike i have ever riddin / owned. NOT the fastest! ...but always a smile on that little smoker.

[@KincadePavich]

Hell yeah man that's awesome! It would be nice if this one were a few years newer haha

[@Danman1972]

Now you know why the stock KTM tool kit contained the "beer opener" It actually a torque wrench adapter. Came in stock tool kits. Most wondered what it was, but just used it as a bottle opener. Just put it at a 90 degree to the wrench. It just happens to work for opening beer. The closed wrench part goes on the cylinder bolts. Also Motion pro makes an adapter. I have one in the tool box. Also, for the power valve stuff before prime a scotch brite pad or easy off for a while... then scotch brite pad. defiantly an easier thing with prime.

[@lukedandy7426]

I love you kincade

I actually just did one of those old ktm covers, you'd be amazed but paint stripper will loosen that coating up just fine. Then sandblast and cerakote like normal

[@th1npower]

K, great choice on mini split. If you need a vacuum pump, flare tool, etc let me know..I installed a mini split at my place last summer and have them. M

[@dominocweber9763]

Come on man! Not yet subbed?? I was subbed midst your first video I ever watched. Haha but in all seriousness this is such a sick bike/ build and I am stoked to follow along with your progress!

Let's gooo appreciate you man!

[@user-wt7uk6vx1n]

Nice video

[@ChaseBuiltBikes]

I agree with you on the Pryme wheels, I have no idea how I managed to do this before getting them. Makes a build so much easier!

[@KincadePavich]

Hell yeah man glad they're working out for ya!

[@ChaseBuiltBikes]

@@KincadePavichThank you again for them!

[@Prisonmike89]

I used to have a 200, they are great bikes! I've got a 150 and 350 now but I still miss my 200 occasionally. Tune them right and they are impossible to stall

[@blancosilverado9795]

I really want to see this come together.

[@kevinlanglois5701]

the forks that came on those older KTMs (pre 4cs) are commonly regarded as some of WP's best forks that came stock. might be worth getting valved and sprung and doing a comparison to the air fork!

[@KrickeCroce]

Nice

[@BrendonW]

Definitely need to do something with the frame!

[@KincadePavich]

Not planning to coat the frame! This is a performance build - not a perfection build. I'm not looking to make everything look 100% perfect. That would just make me sad when I start trashing it. Don't worry - she's still gonna be sexy.

[@huntertrammell3310]

Idk if this will find you but good job on all these bike builds they are very relaxing to watch and I just wanted to purpose and idea, instead of giving away a built bike give away you fixing up someone’s bike and making it new, run again, or looks better. I know that’s something I would enter in being that I have an old 07 kx450, just worth the try seeing if you read this and if you do thanks for the thought.

[@layneford4262]

Best engine improvements for this bike are hands down going to be putting vforce reeds and intake boot from an sx 150/125 (stock boyesan reeds are very restrictive in comparison) That alone really wakes the 200 up, if you want even more torque and power overall they really respond well to shaving the head (I took .30 thousandths off my head and had some porting done, with all the mods listed it is noticeably more powerful in all areas) They shouldn't have discontinued the 200, one of my favorite displacements!

[@layneford4262]

Also, a rekluse torquedrive clutch pack will really help to put the power to the ground better and you will love the softer lever pull and consistent feel especially when you're beating on it in that race!

[@Youhaverights6]

Just found you today and subscribed.

[@dannycockburn7351]

i dont know if its the same over the pond but in the uk you get a type C breaker used in garages that doesnt trip on initial start up of machines, might be why yours tripped on start up.

[@chrisleeds6294]

Get a rk tek head on that rig. Change your life. We run them on the 150s. Good luck

[@riverbilly1976]

What's your favorite manual for these projects? Love your content. Been following awhile on my TV which I thought was linked to my phone but apparently not. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@Blitz_4K]

[@jaylee6936]

Sick you're coming to north Idaho! I'll be at silver kings as well 👍

[@KincadePavich]

Love to hear it, stoked to meet ya!

[@jaylee6936]

​@@KincadePavich if you want to train on some local terrain I'm pretty familiar with the area let me know 👍

[@ottokirk2325]

200's have a really bad cylinder/case matching at the transfer ports. There's always a knarly ledge. A little epoxy and dremel action is the ticket for response and more power throughout the powerband.

[@1187titanium]

Fill the lower frame rails with liquid jb weld so they are impossible to dent

[@bgarcia0108]

Hope you shoot some footage at the Enduro! Would love to see you ride!

[@KincadePavich]

Definitely will! It's a super long race so I'll have to figure out how best to do so, but definitely plan to make a video!

[@MattSpears]

siiiiick

[@lucasmaiden238]

I would love to see you do a full drz400s rebuild I can’t find one on KZbin that’s as good as your videos

[@KincadePavich]

A DRZ could be sweet for sure! Unfortunately probably won't be this year, but I'll keep it in mind!

[@brianmcclintock1194]

@kincade - could you please let me know where you got the vice jaws for fork legs please buddy . great work , Keep it up !! 😀😀😀

[@JohnHowerton137]

Killer bikes. Just blew mine up 😞 I think one of the head o-rings leaked coolant into the bottom end after sitting untouched for 18 months. Crank grenaded, which is extremely uncommon on these engines with low hours.

[@elkku2934]

What air pressure are u running on ur air forks and what clickers? Mine feel a bit harsh when riding enduro. I rebuilt them by myself recently and it made a huge difference but still they feel a bit harsh over small stuff. Bike is 2021 ktm 125 sx

[@AneroFilms]

i had to do the exact same thing with the wrench to get the cylinder off my 2005 ktm 125 sx lmao

[@jedidan045]

SMOOTH OPERATOR haha

[@johnclayton6158]

If you find that flywheel weight to be too heavy, Steahly can turn it down for you. Nice company that takes care of their customers.

[@williamcrotts7054]

I'd recommend 8/54 gearing for Silver king especially on a 200. There is a reason Tristen rides a 300.

[@KincadePavich]

Haha I've at least got a 12T front coming from Dirt Tricks! I realize this is likely to be the most difficult thing I've ever put myself through. Doing it on an underpowered bike is frankly kind of silly, but I want to see how capable I can make this thing as well as my own riding and fitness.

[@joshuamiller3388]

Do you use the abrasive or fine prune wheels to polish frame engine case etc.

[@KincadePavich]

Some of both! I'm always careful with the coarse wheel though - it will eat metal if you're not cautious.

[@joshuamiller3388]

@@KincadePavich 👍 thank you!!!

[@klausmuller2607]

I habe an EXC200 too

[@Owen-eg7gp]

I've been working on a rebuild of a 1983 RM125 and was wondering where you get silencers and header pipes from, or if you know of any websites that offer those for the older bikes because i cannot find any. (if anyone reading this knows of any please lmk!!)

[@Ridefastorgetpassed]

Hey dude make sure you get more mini split capacity then your space requires. Trust me on this your going to want it to be overkill. Especially in Montana.

[@Ridefastorgetpassed]

Btw those are fantastic bikes. My son rides an 09 and its been rock solid and an absolute blast to ride. Talk about a single trac weapon !!

[@outfitr9703]

Just curious, had you changed the fork oil sometime in that 90 hours?

[@KincadePavich]

I had done each fork pretty early on - somewhere around the 20 hour mark. One due to a leaky seal, and one due to a damaged stanchion. I really shouldn't let forks go any more than 50 hours with how I ride.

[@grudzien9784]

Dude -13F is pretty nuts. Quit farting around and build some nice bikes already. Gosh 😂 Kidding obviously, 🤘🏼

[@eltesprite2969]

is there website i can go to 3d print that spanner wrench i have a 3d printer and want to print that

[@ryansanford13]

What gear oil do you use for these 2 strokes?

[@KincadePavich]

In this one I ran the same stuff I use in my KTM 350; Motorex 10w-50. For most of the older Jap 2 strokes I just run Honda 10w-40.

[@Horton32KTM]

would a flywheel weight help slow down the power on a 250 2 stroke? because man my one is quite fast XD

[@KincadePavich]

It makes the power a bit less explosive and more tractable. If you feel like the bike is "too much" for you, it could be a good option.

[@Horton32KTM]

@@KincadePavich oh that sounds like it would be really good for me. my 250 is super fast for me but i like the bottom end power, thank you for the help 👍

[@FredFulton53]

Silver Kings isn't on the calendar yet. What's up with that ?

[@KincadePavich]

[@easyhardenduro9847]

What class did you sign up for?

[@KincadePavich]

Silver!

[@corbinschleicher7742]

What does the flywheel weight even do?

[@KincadePavich]

Makes the motor a little more tractable and a smoother transition into the powerband. Harder to stall as well.
