Has anyone done and or had problems doing a thermostat bypass on a ktm exc? I have a 2016 ktm exc 500 and it has a akrapovic exhaust which was already on when I got the bike, the original hose melted on the exhaust and I bought a replacement kit but because of the exhaust it’s still too close and will melt again, it’s either change exhaust which will be expensive or do a thermostat delete? So just wondering if anyone has had an issue with doing the bypass or it is fine?

Hi guys, looking for some decent tyres to do 60% off road and 40% on road for my exc 500 with the sizes in photos as you can see my front tyre is getting annihilated by the tarmac! I do a fair bit of road riding in between green lanes.

So recently on a trail on a 2015 ktm exc 500 and my radiator hose had melted on my exhaust! I managed to cut it shorter and make it home, everyone is saying remove thermostat but I don’t really want to as apparently it’s not a good idea if I plan on riding in the winter? Some advice is highly welcomed! 🙏

Looking for some good tyres on my 500exc for off road and on road as quite a lot of road riding between trails/lanes and currently the tyres I have the road os eating the knobbles up

Hi guys, looking to upgrade my headlight to led what are your opinions on what’s the best pattern and brightness?
