KTM 85cc Motard build

[grnman]

ive only got mine to 9,700 rpm in the short time ive ridden it. so its got alot more left. i must have been shifting at about 8,500 when i first rode it.

i dont know if you've got it but you can get a magnetic pickup for the speedo on the Acewell. i put one on my big motard.

Something for you grnman ( same in vid) :

 

[ringo]

Yeah my acewell kit has the speedo pickup! Plus water temp, tacho, and records max speed, max revs and a few other things that you can check at the end of a session to help with gearing!!

Man!!! That bike above has some chunky forks Mr Mo!!! Got me thinking about a cheap set of 125gp forks but it will be a tarmac bike only after that!!!

 

[grnman]

Have you watched his youtube video yet Ringo?

 

[ringo]

No youtube at work an forgot last night, I have seen some of his earlier stuff.... LOLOLOL!!!!

my moriwaki revs to 14-15 and thats with stock igntion and flywheel u can get ignition kits for them that are like a inerrotor ps i just brought a moriwaki 250 they do the isact same times a superstock 600 at broadford

wow man, a 15yr old kid on a 250 is crazy. is it a single or twin 250 like the RGV 250? that is going to be so much fun. sounds like a whole new learning curve engine and riding wise going from a 80cc to 250cc.

 

[ringo]

Even if you could get the ktm to rev to 14-15 I would be even more worried about the fragile big end than I am now!!! I believe it though, I've built 50cc engines that rev to nearly 19,000 rpm so 15k should be easy......... Just before the big end goes pop!!!

Umh your phone must of went flat give dad a ring or he will ring u tomoz Umh Moriwaki 250 its a 2009 rs 125 with a crf250 motor they beat most super stock 600s there fast as **** I'll be racing that next year very expensive little bikes and 14 yr old 50kgs aha

 

[ringo]

MAAAAANNNN....... I just spent the whole day stalking a YZ250 2 stroker on the 85SX!!!! What an awesome machine.... Sooooo much fun!!! Front brake held up!!! Need harder front springs and a bit more bite in the front brakes but other than that she's sweeeeeet!!!!!

Action pics to come, knee dragin!!!!

 

[grnman]

that sounds amazing!!! i told you the big bikes would be in trouble. your face must be sore from smiling. how did you like the CST slicks. not a bad choice for $60 a pop hey. i think you run a 3.0Nm front spring as stock and the hardest i have sourced is a 4.0Nm plus a few more preload spacers. that will cost you $120 plus about $70 postage i think.

how much more room is there on them to move around compared to your other pitbike. big ****pit hey.

is it quicker that the Elites around the track?

 

[ringo]

Yeah will investigate springs???? Have you found any preload adjusters that fit in the top of the fork, I was so disappointed when I went looking for the preload adjustment only to find it didn't have any????

Wasn't anyone lap timing but it would be very close..... The 14/49 was pretty much perfect gearing for this track!!!! Just starting to peak 6th at 2 points around the track!!

 

[grnman]

i imagine the preload spacers would be something you'd just get from a KTM dealer.

Pics as promised:

Ringo's bike (at the moment......)

 

[ringo]

Next job on the list is shortening the front fender, the 12's make it look even bigger than it already is!!!!

 

[Mr Tarded Mo]

Yeah, front fender looks like a forelock on the bodybuilder. Everything else is sweet!

 

[grnman]

The front brakes are nearly there. still waiting on the KTM 125/200/250/300/450 caliper to arrive which should bolt straight onto the mounts. its going to be a killer setup when its done. you could not fit a bigger disc than this. not even 5mm bigger.

Then i think a YZ85 or CR85 brake line would be the correct length and have the right size bango bolt for it. i think the master cylinder only has to be 12mm piston or above.

check out the port difference between the KTM and my scooter barrel.....
