TE/TC 17 TE 150

You will love it!

Least Husky's run in the family!

Ha, I was gonna ask if it was still muddy in geneseo but the picture answered my question. I'm running a ve33 rear and a 216aa fatty front on the 300. Fall in the Midwest is sloppy indeed

Blue plastics look great on that other bike, now I wont feel to bad when the white gets thrashed.

Is there tubliss system, mousse in these or just the standard tube? I ride alot of gnarly rocks & roots and like running a lower pressure so I need something other than the tube. Ive read that the stock tires suck, no biggie ill wear em out while I break her in. Im pretty light, about 135-140 naked, about 5'10", I was suprised to sit on it felt like the seat height was higher than the 250 im on now. I just need to ride it and see where im at sag wise and what not, i do enjoy a plusher ride but it seems the stock suspension is perfect for someone a little heavier (more average) weight.

It's tubes.

With your weight! You better work on a good grip!

No biggie & ahaha thats what I wanted to hear! First bike was a YZ450, then the 250 2t, im slowly realizing bigger isnt always better. Coming from a mountain bike background I was looking for something lighter & more nimble, originally the 125 caught my eye then i stumbled upon this. I think it is exactly what im looking for.

I got squeeky brakes!

Thats funny you say that because I noticed my front is a bit squeaky too! I dont mind, actually I kinda like to hear it for some reason.

haha...welcome to the world of KTM

Gettin old so might be my legs Squeakin!

Nary a squeak out of my Brembos

No squeak here either. Maybe 2017 has a different compound?

I always thought brake squeal is from uneven pad pressure, causing uneven rotor wear and glazing. Here's a quote from somewhere: "Most squealing is caused by harmonic vibration. The vibration can be caused by something as bad as a warped rotor or simple as greasy fingerprints on the rotor or pads. Even soap residue from washing will cause this. What happens is as the brake pads make contact the warp, hot spot, dirt, grease,soap etc- quickly grabs or shifts the pads in the caliper and the rub (much like drawing a bow across a violin string) creates a squeal."

Since I spray so much silicone and armor all I regularly spray the rotorss down with electronics cleaner and wipe with a pair of my ex's fav panties. I'm not sure if it helps, but i sure enjoy it ::
At least every tire change I clean brakes thoroughly, 600g wet or dry on the rotor and pad, waterproof grease on the pins I like EBC sintered on the rear and carbonX on the front, they're MXS sintered kit comes with new pins too.

I do wipe my rotors off after bike is clean and shot with WD 40, in case some got on them.

Surely you jest.

Mine squealed, so I roughed up the pads with some 80 grit and it went away. Back (many years ago) doing my automotive apprenticeship, that's what we would do when we had a set of squealy brakes in the shop. If they were really bad we'd rough up the rotor as well.

Right, brake pads and shoes get glazed from hi temps. 400 or 600 grit works fine on bikes and doesn't remove too much material. Used to do it before every race on the old drum brakes

The only squealer I had was my 2012 TE310. She squealed like a pig...
