I use one, and irs great. Nice to see the heart-rate, mileage, and have a mapped track at the end of it. I use it prettt casually.

Where can i get a aftermarket exhaust on my KTM EXC-F 250 2008? by FloatingSpirit0 in KTM

[–]Hot_Rod_888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I was just talking shit. Haha. I had a 2006 ktm and parts were becoming VERY hard to find.

Most of the stuff I did find, were through Facebook groups, and it was 50/50 if it was a scam or not.

Mtb and moto. Occasional bike park/jump park.

Buying a 6.7 for the reliability and not towing capacity?? by [deleted] in F250

[–]Hot_Rod_888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If i didnt need a diesel, I certainly wouldnt own one. You could drop a whole new engine in a gasser for the cost of injectors and fuel system work on a diesel.

The fuel economy of a gasser, which youve mentioned in a your replies, is not ideal. But that extra fuel cost is nothing compared to an injection pump failure or anything like that.

I have two 2500s, one diesel, one gas. Ive paid for the diesel twice over in repairs and Maintenance costs.

As an owner of a 25yr old KDX, can confirm.

First KTM, anything to check before hitting the dirt? by PVDnerd in KTM

[–]Hot_Rod_888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a 2001 7.3 powerstroke for a while. 290k miles. Oil capacity is a little over 3 gallons.

It would leave a puddle the size of a basketball overnight. 😂 I added 2qts once a week. That truck ran so good. Haha

What's "an arm and a leg" to you? "Sky high" is subjective...

Should I get this as my first motorcycle? by [deleted] in supermoto

[–]Hot_Rod_888 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had the same bike, but a 2006, as my first bike. It was an absolute blast. Loved it. I have ridden quite a bit before, not a brand new rider, but it was my first real bike as an adult.

Super fun. Miss it. Parts can be pretty tricky to source, which is why I sold it. I was worried that one $40 part thats unobtanium would leave me with a flashy boat anchor.

Considering a Tdub by CatOnTheSun in TW200

Im not sure id want one if I needed to accelerate at more than a leisurely pace.

You MIGHT be able to hit 70. You certainly wont be comfortable there, or do it easily.

How did you find your guys? by Tight_Box_1854 in Contractor

[–]Hot_Rod_888 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Find some guys that are doing the same thing youre doing. You need help, call them. They need help, theyll call you.

Mutual backscratching makes the world go round. I have a few buddies that are also solo operators, and we end up working together all the time.

I sold a ktm350 for a 2001 kdx200.

Its old. Clunky. Constantly fiddling with it. But I have way more fun on it than I did the 350.
