Ok , it's not an Mt.....but it's pretty close.
1983 KTM 504 GS Enduro.
Same engine, same wheels, same Carb as the MT500 so i have turned to you guys for help in the problems section.
Nice forum BTW.

Hi,nice bike. Always wanted one of these in my youth but went for the two stroke as kickstarting big four stroke singles never seemed like my idea of fun.

640 huh!!.
What will i need for that ?. Just a "Top end ", barrel, piston,head etc ?.

O yes, and if it hasn't got elecric start, you'll also need a strong leg in full working order.
Hmmmm, I think about it , Cheers!.
Well thanks to Apophis the bike now starts 2nd/ 3rd kick.....WooooooHooooo.
