Ahh KTM and electrics... Someone recently used the old brand name Lucas when referring to a KTM he owned here. I feel for you mate.
Can you still buy a brand new loom for it I wonder?
(Im not a hater, I bloody love KTMs...)

The looms are available and reasonably priced, they also didn’t really change from 2000 until fuel injection

Ive owned a bunch of the 90s and 2000s KTMs and they were great, never let me down etc.
I do hear the newer ones are less good from guys I know who were mechanics at a dealer here. I was a bit gutted as Id love another, I was a huge fan of the brand back in 2000s.

As another 450EXC owner, I've always throught the KTM prices were very reasonable - Oil filters, decompressor lever, rear light, plastics, etc. (Green laning, these things get busted easily.)
I've also heard the same about the post RFS engines. The RFS are pretty indestructable.

I owned a 83 125 and it was possibly the most unreliable bike i ever owned even though it was only 1 season old. i went back to ktm in 2009 and they were good so i stayed with them until 2016 when i jumped ship to beta and never looked back. i did buy one of the first tpi huskies in 2018 but didnt keep it long and swapped in for a beta. |

- worth it though.
