PSA: Summer is here y'all. If you're hot they're hot. Take care of your KTM Dual Sport and keep them cool.

Don't forget to drain them out after they cool down!

I parted ways with the KLR.  790 Adventure S with a high front fender, akropovik and Kenda Big Blocks. I was looking for an Adventure R, but you can't find one, but I am happy with this.

May have just picked up my next light weight dual sport. 2011 300 XC. She needs a little work. A few of you may recognize it.

Very cool and yet very sad. Is this the way Andy left it or has someone else had it?

[LawnmowerRG]

This is the way Andy left it, but someone else has had it. I did some horse trading to acquire it. I need to figure out why Andy took the motor apart. All I know is that it barely finished the last race he ran on it.
The plan is to Dual Sport it. Build your he motor for bottom end torque. I may swap in XC-W gears the transmission.

XC gears are terrible for the street. Maybe you'll get lucky and it just needs a new piston. How does the cylinder look?

Also, I don't think the XC has a proper stator for running lights. You can get a Trailtech stator with new regulator/rectifier and go full DC system instead of split AC/DC system. I have one on my Beta 300, it works great and it's plug and play.

So I have been looking. The only difference in the XC and XC-W according to the micro fish is one tooth in first and second gear. Then the final drive is different. I think I will just split the difference on the final drive ratios and leave it the same inside.
I havent found what was wrong with the motor yet but I have had time to really get into it.

Also the plan is to run a trail Tech stator and rectifier Or BaJa design. Haven't decided. Probably run a good LED head and tail light/blinkers. Maybe add a small rear rack. May go tubliss too.

it takes about five minutes to swap the front sprocket. i used to go 12/13/14/15 depending on what was coming up next and leave the rear alone. i think i used the 13 tooth the most with the kdx wide ratio trans, just got used to hitting the pipe around 50 mph and stayed below that if i could or got used to the smoke if i couldn't. the hard part were the vibrations. sweet my toes on fire from the vibes
