WTF ??
« on: December 11, 2014, 08:10:02 pm »
.....just picked this up from a bloke, it appears to be an '84 KTM roller with an XL185 motor. It has a cable that runs from the rear brake, around in front of the motor, to a gear lever with a bolt through it, welded to the frame for a rear brake pedal  ???  The frame has been butchered beyond repair but the motor could prove quite interesting.....apparently it has a CR Elsinore internal rotor and stator fitted, the ignition side of the cam has been cut off and it runs a CR CDI.  :o
It also has what appears to be an oil feed line running from the top of the cases to the head........more info and pics when I pull it apart.............

Saw that on Facebook yesterday. He said he was keeping the motor and selling the roller. Must have changed his mind?

.......pretty right Simo, he wanted the motor for his daughters bike, but after I showed him that half the guts were missing from the motor, I swapped him a standard XL185 motor for what you see here.....this motor is only an XL185 not an XR200....and he only just got it from someone else and has never had it running  ::)

Just what you've got to do if you want a KTM that runs for more than ten minutes between rebuilds.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Sorry Brent, this ones an '84 with 185 motor.............and knowing your workmanship, this is no where near your standards.
  Whoever built this one had his striped apron on..........its well and truly butchered  :'(

Sorry I should have been a bit clearer in my reply.

I think Mick25 was referring to my "KTonda in his post. That was an XR200 motor in a KTM frame.


I've reformed now and own a genuine KTM
