    Well of course they changed the starter, one of the only complaints about them. Already the lightest in the class and now it's going to lose another 10 pounds. Good stuff, wonder if the pv set yp is any different

    Word is that KTM/Husky were renegotiating with Keihin on the carb supply contract and were testing the Mikuni carb for leverage.

    The new 125/150 has adopted the present 250/300 PV set up, so I'd say PV most likely has stayed the same for new 250/300 motor.

    This is a nice logical power plant evolution by the looks of it. One of our extended crew is already on the deposit list to get one (KTM300XC-W) and is slated to ride one in June at a dealer function (former ISDE competitor).

    note this is preliminary---another word is - direct from our local dealer rider/crew member-----Robert/Veys has already asked (his personal bike is Trax shock and Cone Valve fork equipped)
    The 2017 chassis is dimensionally different and that our (2k value) current model Trax Shocks will not fit onto the 2017 chassis, maybe with enough interest WP Factory services or one of the WP official dealers or someone will if possible build a retrofit kit......well I hope they keep the DDS clutch so I can plug in my (800 buck) Rekluse!!!

    Robert you should get a few more years out of your current bike so no worries there.
