That gen of lc4 should go the distance, no problem. 2 guys on adv have done basically RTW on them, 37k miles on them with no major issues. Check their thread on adv.

Dammit, that is not what I wanted to hear.

Could you squeeze the DR650 lump into a DRZ400?

Exactly. BUT, a DRZ 780 would be sweet if for no other reason than to see how it is.

Gets it.

Good Huskys are out there, they just tend to be 450/510s instead of 610s, which are really rare. And while the 510s like to blow up regularly, the 450s seem to hold together pretty well (mine will self-destruct now that I typed that).

How maintainence heavy are the Husky 450s? Oil changes/valve checks in miles or hours? Due to their learner-legal status (yes, I'm aware how :stare: that is) they're pretty popular in my state, unlike the 610s.

Are the street models sold with a restrictor or softer engine maps or similar? Or are the "full power engines" modified from the street version?

Those are basically just stock forks with an Ohlins sticker on them. They don't have the high end Ohlins valving/etc, it's the same as the "Ohlins" forks that are on the Daytona 675R or whatever, the OEM spec Ohlins are budget versions of their stuff, which basically makes it the same as every other suspension company out there.

That's why he's having a hell of a time selling them at half the price of what a typical set of aftermarket Ohlins forks would go for.

Small sidenote: The 675R has proper NIX30 forks, not the usual R&T garbage.

Opinions: 2004 KTM 640, as a daily rider. Bad idea, good idea? Compared to everyone's favourite DRZ400SM?
