KTM 450 EXC-R '07. Equipping for desert running?
Hello
I have just bought a 07 450 EXC-R with 2 hours on the clock.
I will be running this on rocky trails and some sand around Riyadh. It is pretty tough on tyres.
Temperatures will be from 10C to 40C. I won't be riding over summer as that is insane.
I would appreciate advice on the 'must do' list.
I have ordered a JD jet kit. The previous owner cut out the exhaust restrictor plate. He also seems to have removed the air cleaner plastic cover (I have this in a box). Apart from that it is pretty much stock as far as I can tell.
I'd appreciate advice on :
Bigger replacement tanks (all parts must be available in the UK or by mail order to UK address)
Desert tyres (dry rocky flinty sand)
Any must do's (bits that drop off, break etc and are worth fixing in advance)
I have a sump guard which appears to be plastic, also some KTM lever protectors.
Rear rack (need to carry desert survival gear)
Basic GPS and mount that will work in KSA
Anything else?
Thanks in advance
RichS
