#1: Twed's KTM 640 project/track slag. Author: twed207, Location: borders, near carlisle.Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 6:48 pm ---- i know, it's a car forum... but there's some bike lovers on here! lol.
this thread's for my 2005/54 KTM LC4 640 enduro which was converted to supermoto by the last owner.
it's a 625cc single cylinder and it's fair quick and will show a sports bike up in the twisty corners and pulling out of them! it has 47HP on the rear wheel (55ish at the crank) and 43ft/lb torque at the wheel and it's leathal! only weighs about 150KG so, it's power to weight ratio is about 350HP!! lol.
this it what it used to look like from new... big and gay! lol
day after i passed my test on my lakes ride out. this was at workington...
i joined the UK KTM forum and as you do, i wanted to start modding it and make it my own... so changed the front mud gaurd from a enduro one to a supermoto one...
put some rim tape on the wheels and got a orange rear sprocket...
then i done a few trackdays... kinsham raceway.
and rowrah in the lakes.
and that's the end of 2008!...
will post more ujp when i find all my pics from my race day.
enjoy...

when it was new it had big knobly gay tyres but one of the ownes put smaller, supermoto wheels on it with road tyres. they can be bought in supermoto trim as standard. but it's fully road legal and i use it on the road on rideouts and for going to work when it's HOT and DRY, about 1 day a year! lol and i use it on the track too when i can afford trackdays. got a big one at rowrah in a few months.
mon the flids!
