    Worst and best 2-stroke I ever owned was a 96 360exc. Terrible motor when I bought it new, it would run dead even out in Millican with 500cr's when I got done with it 2 years later. And that with a wide,smooth power band.New pipe & silencer was worth 7hp alone, followed by headwork, porting, reed spacer, v-force reed ( HUGE difference on the 360!!!)
    Did a twin-chamber fork kit, had Stig Petterson revalve/respring the shock and.........almost wish I wouldn't have sold it.

    I've ridden a few 360 KTMs. one ran awesome the others were all horrible running vibrating pigs. Set up seems to be everything on those bikes and getting them jetted right seems a chore.

    Kelly, sorry for the hijack! My 360 is smoooth, ride it like a trials bike or wick it on. It has the reed spacer, dont know about a reed change and jetting. I got it from my uncle who quit riding.

    Kelly do you need the pegs off of mine also?

    I've tried the IMS stainless pegs, (terrible, don't fit, don't fold up much when you get them to fit, can't use Husky springs) the Husky Junk aluminum pegs ( good fit, nice & wide, springs work,.....but they ARE Aluminum and will dull the edges quicker than anything else).

    The pegs I like best are the late Husky welded footpeg . Sharp teeth, STRONG springs, and you can weld wider platforms easily to them.

    Phillip has some that are the shizzzz. Husky Products repros. A little wider than stock, a much beefier material, bad as@@@ teeth and mount up as designed/ w/ stock springs. Just my $.02 worth.
    Oh yea, bike looks great.
