TWO STROKE TUESDAY : 2006 KTM 200 REBUILD

In this week’s 2-Stroke Tuesday brought to you by Boyesen, we give you a detailed look at our 2006 KTM 200 complete rebuild for test rider Spencer Clark. Check out the Hardware section for the latest in goodies from Kite, Motul and Rekluse. Two-Stroke theater is packed full of action and don’t forget to click the exclusive link at the bottom of this page for the history of Yamaha’s YZ250.

Our project 200 is a transition bike of sorts. Test rider Spencer Clark wasn’t really ready for 250cc four stroke but had outgrown his CR85. If you have a rider in this situation the KTM 200 is the answer.

The engine was rebuilt using OEM replacement parts from Vertex, Hot Rods and some service from Millennium Technologies.

Tugger lifting straps are great when you get into sticky situations on the trail. We put them on both ends of the 200.

Increasing fuel mileage is easy with a little help from IMS. An oversized tank makes long trips possible and that extra piece of mind knowing you have enough gas is priceless.

Trail Tech’s X2 light provides ample amounts of light and is easy to install

For very tight technical trails that have slippery rocks or roots, having a trials tire is like cheating. The Dunlop D3o3 was our choice for the 200 build.

Yes, we added a couple aftermarket items for a little extra power off bottom and durability on the trail.
