2011 KTM 250 XC-W
Selling my 2011 250 XC-W. One owner since new, so I can vouch for all 224 hours on this one. New top end at 150 hours and a bunch of upgrades. Also comes with a second set of tires (nearly new Kenda Ibex) and a bunch of spares (levers, misc. parts, fluids.) Asking $5,500. Link to kijiji ad here: htt...

Re: need some minor aluminum welding
Also might want to try A-Q Auto Mechanic on Edmonton Trail up by Cycle Works. It was a while ago, but they fixed up a pinhole leak on my 690E's radiator. They did a decent job, and it was quick and pretty cheap IIRC.

Re: Early season bike trip ideas?
The weather in Moab is usually fine the last two weeks of March. We go down every year at that time, and it's usually mid teens to low twenties - perfect riding weather. Also went to St. George once in mid March and it was great. I believe it's generally a few degrees warmer there than in Moab. No i...

Re: Best Woods Bike for Shorter Women
Yep, her first bike was actually a dual-sport KLX250 with a Kouba link and the forks raised in the triple clamps. With the KLX's reasonable seat height, that got it low enough and didn't cost much. It also didn't seem to affect the KLX's suspension much. Overall, it was a good solution for that bike...

Re: Best Woods Bike for Shorter Women
Still, even when she rode it, she for sure never called it plush. Did you spring it softer for her weight? I am a firm believer in springs first, valving second. It was 6-7 years ago, and we sold the bike a few years after, so I don't remember all the details. I know we bought the bike from Cycle W...

Re: Best Woods Bike for Shorter Women
Where is there an OSSA dealer in Calgary? That is an interesting idea. With lights and an e-start that would be a great solution! I think we may have settled on a lowered 150XCW. Don at pro action says he can take 2-2.5" out of it which should get us close to her Honda 150R in terms of seat height....

Re: Best Woods Bike for Shorter Women
My wife is a little bit shorter (5'5") and it took us a while to find the perfect bike. KX-100 was too peaky, too cramped, and the smaller wheels/tires aren't great on the trail. Lowered 200 XC-W was much better, but seemed a little big/heavy for her, and I think we lost a lot of suspension performa...

Re: 2 Stroke Pipe Repair
Try Blackfoot Direct. It was a couple of seasons ago, but they did a few pipes for me. Can't remember if they did it there or just sent them out to a guy.

Re: Bauer Mapping Switch
I've had one on my 2011 250 XC-W since new. I don't use it all that often, but the difference is definitely noticeable. Mostly, I hit it by accident and then spend the next 2 kms wondering why my bike is running like cr@p. :bonk: For the 20 or 30 bucks it cost, I'm glad I have it. It does make a not...

Re: Headlight Questions
Thanks guys. I did get the speedo/hour counter sorted out with a new battery from Staples. I had no idea there was a battery in there. FYI it was a CR2430. Do the quick connect terminals come stock on the 2010 200 XCW or were they added in after the fact? Oops, sorry for the bum reference on the ba...

Re: Headlight Questions
1) Yes. I also believe that even bicycle lights or a flashlight is acceptable, although in seven years of riding here I've never been checked, so can't say for sure. 2) No, they don't need to be turned on all the time. 3) Yes, there are plug and play light kits for that bike. Both head and tail ligh...

Re: 2016 KTM's
Just looking on the KTM Canada website and see both a 200 XC-W and a 200 EXC for 2016. So what's up with that? Surely the 200 EXC can't be street legal like the four stroke EXCs? Only differences I can see on the spec page are a smaller fuel tank and taller 14:45 gearing for the EXC. Both bikes app...

Re: 2013 Ossa Explorer
Sad to say that bike has SOLD. I was hoping my wife would change her mind and keep riding, but I guess it's not to be. (Or maybe we'll be bike shopping again in a year. I can always hope...) Anyway, sold to nice people who I'm sure will love it. It's really a fantastic trail bike for smaller/shorter...
