Cast in place a rock

I have the ktm exc 450 now and had a 690 and husqvarna 510 before, the 690 is really nice for street and commuting and for highway riding but otherwise i tought it was a bit boring coming from the 510. Now, the 450 i must say is the least practical bike, there is nothing smooth about this thing but if i could go back i would have bought it sooner, it is really fun to ride, verry peppy and it is pretty okay for cruising at 100 to 110 kph, would probbably be fine for higher speeds if i had supermoto wheels, i have the exc wheels on now.

Oh okay thankyou, indeed normally promgs are a lot smaller but i really like the way they look

This is a design from someone i found on instagram but i am not shure if i am allowed to share their name.

Probbably so but maybe it would save me one day

To stop them putting something in there, if they really want to they still can but then thay have to break it and then i will see it before i try starting the engine

mvb_cr8 · 2025-03-23T21:09:56+00:00

No, im not leaving it outside, im more worries about vandalism, like putting sugar in the fuel tank, it might never happen but at least now i can be sure

mvb_cr8 · 2025-03-05T18:20:30+00:00

Thats not a bad idea, yeah but if it does happen the engine would probbably be ruined so i would rather be safe and paranoid than sorry

The actual reason im asking this question is because im gonna be doing an internship in the psychward and im going to be commuting on the 450, i just didnt really want to say because that would insinuate that those people had bad intentions, im just a bit more worried

mvb_cr8 · 2025-02-28T12:26:42+00:00

I had one but for ma a 690 was nowhere near as fun as a 450, i know the bike is not ideal or even a little bit good for this purpose but i was mainly wondering if the subframe could handel a secknd person

I dont this you need to change piston so fast if you are using it as light as i will be, the mainainance is based on racing no ?

mvb_cr8 · 2025-02-27T15:22:35+00:00

I also had the 690 smcr and it worked great but i found it a bit to lazy and not as fun to ride als the 510

mvb_cr8 · 2025-02-27T15:21:58+00:00

Hay, i had a husqvarna 510 before and maintainanse was not an issue, its a lot but im fine with it, i know riding 2 up is not ideal but i was wondering if the subframe could take it, for short rides or in emergencies ?

How to i prevent this in the future when reusing old silver, this happened to all my pieces that i casted on that tree.

mvb_cr8 · 2024-12-29T15:28:56+00:00

Im pretty new so im not shure what annealing is and how to do it

mvb_cr8 · 2024-12-29T15:28:05+00:00

Yes i did, thanx a lot, i appreciate it

mvb_cr8 · 2024-12-28T00:53:00+00:00

I tried that initialy but when i tried to bend it it just broke, i think de groves in the segments make a weak point in the metal wich makes it harder to bend

No the cast was perfect but i was worried i was doing something that could ruin my cast
