even if its just surface rust, and doesnt really get any worse, i would still be unhappy.... awaiting bg's response

 

I can see it being dipped... I guess that's what they mean by "internal external". Wow - I just glossed right over that.
Maybe EMS' pipe was dirty when it was dipped...

 

now is the whole exhaust 'dipped"/coated, or just the header? the header is in alot better shape than the slip on piece... either way it shouldnt look like that.... just another stupid little thing thats wrong with my bike that pisses me off... along with the ticking..... among other issues....

 

Man, I thought my luck sucked... lol sorry, I shouldn't laugh at your mis-fortune.
That sucks dude, sometimes it feels like the cards are stacked against you.

 

i think im the only one on here who has had this many "issues" [:'(][:'(] its really starting to disgust me.

 

we will wait and see i used thier site to contact them, and i also had the salesmans email still. so i emailed him.

if i could buy a better bike i probably would. but with 5400 miles on mine i wont get even close to what i paid..... [>:]

 

Well, I have a confession to make. While I really like my KLX after all the big bore and carb upgrades, I made a big mistake last weekend and that was to sit on a KTM 525EXC. Man that bike is sweet and I can't stop thinking about it. But afer much research, I think the KTM 450EXC is the one for me. I've considered the TE's, but upon close examination of the transmission ratios, I think the KTM EXC suits me a bit better. Also, the EXC has a lower compression engine than the TE, which I would consider as a factor in maintenance - higher compression generally means higher mainenance. And another factor is that there are several KTM dealers close by whereas the nearest Husky dealer is about 3 hours away.

So I'm seriously considering ... not because I'm unhappy with the KLX, it's very nice. But because I kind'a just fell in love with the KTM EXC. And most of you have figured out that I'm kind've spontaneous. But if I cannot sell my KLX, I will still be very happy to keep it. I actually finally have some fork springs to put in but I'm holding off until I see how this might turn out.

Pricing a bike like this is hard. Basically I just took the $3660 kelly blue book retail price and discounted all the add-on / upgraded part costs by the same amount as the kelly blue book did from the new bike price and added the two together. I figure that is a reasonable starting point, then let the haggling ensue. I'll take a helluva loss, but it'll be a bigger loss next year after everything depreciates even more.

So if you know anyone who is looking for a loaded KLX with all the most sought after upgrades, let me know.

 

Mothers polish........hmmmmmm thanks for the idea.

 

only you deej, only you..... i think its good your in WA, never having a chance to see my bike.... would need an EMT there to bring you back.....
