Out with the old, in with the new

[Silky9153]

After much deliberating ive decided to buy myself a 2016 ktm exc 300 6days as it came up at dam good money

Despite my 2011 gas gas ec250 being much older and carrying many more hours on her i can honestly say i am more than surprised at how the gas gas motor doesnt seem to age inside or out, despite the ktm only being 2 years old theres signs of corrrosion on the engine, when you look at the gasser the old beast still looks fresh with no more than a few scores on her casings.

Ive decided to do a top end rebuild on the gas gas and have noticed that its the original piston i am taking out and it has done plus 200 hours. The conrod and big end are in very good condition (as tight as a drum) despite the abuse the bikes taken over the years

Heres hoping my new austrian lover wil be as robust and enjoyful to play with as the spanish maiden
