    Thats a wild build right there. I'll have to look up the cone forks and tracks shock, haven't read about them yet. They said he goes through 3 sets of brake pads for a race! Crazy all the things KTM factory did like the engine mods through factory services and the sxs 6 speed. He really has a factory bike with everything catered to him. Awesome, he'll be doing even better next year!

    Im still giggling at the OEM powerparts catalog as well as the build listing......"the factory MX and Enduro teams all use the cone valve fork kits"
    So I take that to mean that across the board from MXGP to World Enduro teams both your WP closed cartridge and 4CS forks....do not perform up to the standards of the kitted "cone valve" forks.

    I wonder how Marzocchi or Ohlins cartridge inserts work in the WP tubes?

    they also have one of my faves for the KTM/Husky 4T machines the 90deg fuel banjo outlet, that gets rid of the low hanging exposed OEM fuel line coming off the tank. (along with other unmentioned bullet proofing stuff). The swingarm chain guide tab brace is on my bullet proof parts list as well. Maurer uses lots of safety wire--race prep bullet proof tech, very well prepared!!

    also lots of heat insulation coverings (aircraft style)- rad hose near pipe, fuel line near cylinder for example
