KTM 300 Dented pipe?

Post by WRocks »

I'm set up with equipment to repair pipes for KTM 300's (may be others? not sure yet). I can pressure the pipes up with high pressure water, which will take out the big dents and straighten the neck. I then drain the water and use heat to remove the smaller dents. Sometimes the pipe bursts when using the water, but I’m able to weld it. I charge $80 no matter how badly damaged it is, Compared to $300 for a new pipe is not a bad deal...
For 2009 RMDRA members, I will discount the cost to $60.

If you have a pipe you'd like repaired PM me or call my cell 710-5988

Would you be willing to try a pipe for a 200? I could end up being a regular. :applause: It has a couple of small dents and the neck is bent.

Cheers, :cheers:

Cal,
can you measure the outside diameter (mm) of the necks on both ends? I can then tell you if I can do it.
I have had a caps machined that fit over the ends of a 300 pipe, so the OD's have to match.

OD's on both ends are the same for the 200 and 300 pipes.

The KTM 300, 250 and 200 have the same port sizes, so I can repair them all. If I can't fix it, there's no charge.
I trying to see how badly smashed they have to be before I can't fix it, so there's a challenge...lol

Challenge accepted dirtyboy, see attached pictures (and yes it is the same pipe before and after)...

As noted previously, I charge $60 for RMDRA members and $80 for non-members.
However, bring your pipe in clean (free of grease and mud). I'm going to charge an extra $20 if I have to clean the pipe.
