Sold the KTM .... New toy

Got tired of the amount of maintenance the ktm 450 requires, and got tired of the payments. So, no more KTM, no more payments, and no more oil changes and adjusting valves after every ride.....

CRF 450 is bred for the track and does not require a valve adj. after every ride.

KTM 450 SX-F is bred for the track and does not require a valve adj. after every ride...
