TE/TC Not husky but close snowbike

Just wondering if anybody have advice on a 2stroke snowbike. I just setup this 250sx with lectron.

I know if you went over to KTM Talk, the first thing they would say is..... put a 300 kit on it!

Very cool indeed! I have no input, but keep us posted.

those things look rad!

In all reality a KTM 250 puts out 50 plus HP which will be plenty to have a blast. Enjoy man, it looks sick!

Oh ya, don't forget grip warmers...LOL

I bought bike off a ktm rep in South Dakota that race it in Vet natinals in 2012. The bike was setup by a ktm factory mechanic not sure all the terms he told me like ported, squished, polished trans, fmf exhaust has 210psi compression and runs on 1/2 c12 half preuim. It rips so hard I had to put a 11 ounce flywheel weight on it which helped a lot with smoothing power out and kreff powervalve adjuster which works great to adjust to how much traction is available. Bike never bogs even in wrong gear not sure of hp numbers but after riding buddy 2014 yz450 my bike feels lighter and not any less power and he say same thing. Biggest problem are front forks are really harsh which might work out great for snowbike. I love the way bike runs now as a mx bike so going to give it a try and it's very light just have not heard of many guys running them on snowbikes. I forgot to add I just put a 38mm lectron on bike. Jetting was very good before but now with 38 mm it has a crazy amount of overev on top and pulls even harder only rode couple times so not sure if mpg will get better but hope so bike really sucks gas hard before if rode hard.

doesn't a 250 2T make more peak power than the 300?(300 just has more torque/linear power). same as the 450 4T vs 500 4T. rev slightly higher hence more outright HP just less grunt? stick a maico 700 2T in it & stop being girls!

Wow that's a improvement over the old powered skis or what ever they were called.
We just installed ice screws and rode the snow and ice covered trails with the snowmobiles. Never, ever fell with the ice screws.

That husky looks like fun. You can shift gears too? No variable belt?

I was advised years ago about keeping the cc's smaller so it uses less gas on a trip on a snow machine or get a bigger gas tank. The rear frame on the husky has a gas can.

I've been looking at conversion kits for my te570... Alas, I don't have $4000 waiting to be dropped into a new toy. I'll just stud the tires on my old 2smoke and if she gets beat up it won't hurt as much as wrecking my 570.

My old not so perfect 77 250cr husky was my ice screw bike. I was using knobby tires my next plan was to go with trails tires. More screws per knob. Riding during the ice storms was a hoot.

What people don't realize is riding on ice with the hardened ice screws you are more stable than riding on dirt, gravel, asphalt etc. It's impossible to fall.

this is ice screw bike and does work great on anything frozen and as long as snow does not get to high. Just started started studding tires this year and not sure why we did not do it years ago lots fun.
