Bought this KTM SX 150 off of craigs list about 2.5 months ago and ended up with a lot of headaches, rust, and many long stories but the end result I couldn't be happier with. Ill keep it short, I know the attention span in here is short lived for words so heres some pictures.

Going to finally ride it this Sunday at LACR
The Shop
Like others I'm usually not a fan of black swingarms, but the swingarm and the subframe in-black works really well. KTMs kick a lot of ass.
Pit Row
I pretty much touched every part of this bike in some way, bearings, rebuild kits, carb kit, jets, reeds, pipe, hose kit, radiators, a lot of oem stuff.... the list goes on and on
And labor wise wasn't to bad I had it tore down in one night.
Stripping the frame about 2 hours with a wire brush and thinner, and 1 hour in the blast cabinet
Putting it back together took two nights, first night from 630-2am second night 630-1230 or 1?
40 pilot
for now at least ill ride it Sunday to see what happens Im running motorex 2T/ straight C12 32:1
Was the only hassle with the flywheel?
everything in sano with ryno (for you guys that been around awhile)
Plus the flywheel threads were jacked so bad after an hour and a half I just took a mallet to the puller jammed it in then she popped right out
Chipped reed
Jetting way to rich
Seized swing arm bearings
Seized swing arm yes swingarm
Cracked radiator
Bent brake rotors both
Oval stock wheels
Leaking brakes and clutch
Cracked clutch cover
Cracked ignition cover
Steel Clutch plates had burrs
It goes on and on
