    Not seen many bikes recently with this kit. Has the engine changed or something?

    They announced a new 150 bolt on top end kit for 2016 Huskys at the dealer show this week so we will be building them again.

    Robert it was the ktm huskies I was referring to. It did not make sense that somehow the ktm 144 kits did not end up on the new huskies.

    BILLF so there was an engine change that makes the old ktm144 kit redundant on recent KTMs and huskies?

    150 was longer stroke so no direct top end swap over. i think.

    144 big bore was not a good fit for '98 up KTM 125, do to thin exhaust port bridge. In '08 they went to bigger bore and stroke for 150 (144). New for '16 125/150 engine, 150 is a simple big bore. KTM has 125 and 150 SX models. Husky has TC125 and option to buy 150 kit. This won't make it to enduro models, until next year.

    Ordered a 16 KTM then checked Huskys site just to see if I got the same changes.
    Husky say's the bike is set for electric start . I found that interesting.
