1990 ktm 250 dxc
I don't imagine too many of you have an old 250 dxc but I have a couple questions if anyone has a clue on this. I bought a 1990 dcx 250 its a clean bike for its age. I'm dumping a little money in it now and am a little concerned with it's flaws mainly gear ratio and horsepower. I am aware that the sprockets needed to be changed to help the ratio issue so it now has a 13 on the front and a 52 on the rear. The mid range apparently was pretty good but the low and high end were poor before the change. I don't know how much the change will help because I'm waiting to get my cylinder back so I have not rode it. Also I can't seem to find the correct specifications for the ol girl but the ones I found for the EXC said it was only 16 to 17 horsepower? Is it the same engine as the DXC? So I'm trying to figure out if this bike will have any get up, if the gear ratio is still going to suck, and if I should finish the bike or use it for a boat anchor? Any Ideas? thanks for enduring my novice questions.
