Check out the KTM web site I think it has the history of KTM.
The K and The T are the initials of the two guys who started the
business- pretty sure the T is for Trinkenpolz, or something like that. .
The M is for Mattighofen, the town where KTM is located.
Probably the only serious response you will get to this post, what with
all the KTM envy out there.

I'll give an IMHO on this one. For trail work I prefer to go one size
larger than the recommended size here in the northeast where trails
are mostly rocks, roots, and mud. Several reasons influence this
decision. First, I like the larger side wall for flat and rim
protection. Second, I like the larger footprint when it starts to get
real deep and muddy. I am generally a midrange rider and try not to
spin the wheel excessively. Try to be smoother and not moto in the
woods. For deep sand runs this advice goes out the window as you
will need to be able to break the tire loose and an oversize tire for
the engine will not allow you to do this easily.

"Kost Too Much" to buy and maintain. I know two guys that bought new KTM's and
they sold/traded them within a year. Each one had crank bearing/seal problems
and one had clutch problems. Needless to say niether of them will ever buy
another KTM. On the otherhand I know a couple other guys who have had no
problems and rave about their bikes, luck of the draw I guess.

My spokes are still tight, but not as tight as they were when they were
new....they don't have that "boynggggg" sound to them when you tap
them.....anyway, the rims are still very true also. Is there a certain
"pattern" that use use when tightening then as to not pull them out of round??
I already know not to tighten all the spokes on one side..... is there a secret
to it or is it like tightening the spokes on my old BMX and mountain
bikes.....The spoke wrench that's built into the spark plug wrench is kinda

Don't think so, but congrats!! I was thinking of getting a 97 KTM360M/XC, but
I just bought a '94 KX500 last night.. it was MINT, about 20 hrs on it, never
even been on its side, gas in it was a year and a half old.. and the owner was
an ex-motocrosser so it was all tuned and dialed in for the climate.. it's just
perfect! See ya on the trails!

You're pretty much correct. The founders of the company were Herr
Kronrief, Eric Trunkenpolz and the M stands for the town of Mattighofen.

Good question, Nate--
I think KTM means Kronreif-Trunkenpolz-Mattighofen
I know the founder was Hans Trunkenpolz before WWII,
the company was founded in the town of Mattinghofen,
but Kronreif? A common German name, and there are companies
by that name, so maybe it was a partner of Hans? Not sure on this one.
I'll cross post this to the German motorcycle group--they'll know the
answer! Hope this helps!

Nate,
The K stands for Koenig (Austrian/German for King) nothing to do with
Shayne King.
The T stands for Trunkenpoltz (The name of the family that founded the
company).
The M stands for Mattighoffen (The small Austrian town near the swiss
bordrer were the factory is located.

Would you guys get a CLUE. there is not a JAP bike as well made , or that
has the quality of a new KTM. Look at any 3 or 4 year old KTM, verses a 3
or 4 year old Jap bike. The Japer is ready for the scrapper and the KTM is
still going strong. It may not steer like a Japer But with the right
talent it will smoke ANYTHING just as fast as any bike out there. KTM 4
stroke qualifies for a Supercross main... I wish they would hire some REAL
talent for the outdoor campaign.. the would kick some a-- guaranteed.
get on the wagon boys, KTM's future is going to be very strong and
eventfull.

Hey, KTM is getting the riders this year, lets see what happens. As a

KTM stand for "Kronreif-Trunkenpolz Mattighofen"
like some of the other already wrote, Mattighofen is the city where the
manufactory is, and the other two
are names, the founder: Hans Trunkenpolz from Mattighofen built KTM
("Kronreif-Trunkenpolz Mattighofen") and Kronreif I do not know right now!
Sorry.
Thats it, that shoud answer some of your questions. Oh one other thing
Kronreif means in German Crown-bracelet and Trunkenpolz is something like

Hi Jo--
If you were running a 100/100 18, you probably have a 100cc or 125cc
bike? The 120/90 18 will have shorter sidewalls (the 90 vs the 100),
so that is ok...*but*...the 120 is a lot bigger (wider) than your
100/100 was...and the tire may be too big to fit in the swingarm.
Try taking the back wheel off and see if the bare tire will even fit
in the swingarm without rubbing. If you have lots of room on both
sides, ok, but if it is close (1/4" or so), don't chance it. If you
mount the tire, it might be offset to one side and still ride.
If you haven't mounted the tire on the rim, you can probably exchange
it for a smaller tire that will fit, but if you mount it, it will
become a "used" tire and they won't let you exchange it.

Mmm, don't know about the reliability side of things . . . friend of
mine bought a KTM-250, was out for a quiet ride one day soon after
purchase, next thing back wheel locks up and he skids to a halt. Pulls
in clutch and the bike rolls forward - heart sinks. Seized piston,
stuffed bore. KTM replaced it under warranty, only after much umming and
ahhing and making excuses and trying to blame the rider. They reckon
it's the only case of it they've had in Australia.
Oh and then it blew the flasher unit for the indicators. So I'm just
going to go ahead and make a wild generalisation from this and say ALL
KTM's are unreliable!
But having said that I've ridden the thing and power-wise it is FILTHY!
'fraid they're just too esoteric and expensive to maintain/accessorise
for me to consider one a viable purchase tho.

Since I missed the first article, and only have the gist of it, here
goes.
As a rule of thumb, 125's and 200's should have a tyre of 100/100.
250's should go for 110/100 and over 250's should have 120 - I think.
I had a magazine article somewhere but I dunno where so I am going from
memory here.
By running a wider tyre on the rim the first problem is that the engine
will bog down because of the increased grip. I don't know if it will
cause damage to the bike, (as long as it fits inside the swing arm) but
keeping it to the original spec's is advisable.
Exchange that tyre for one that is the same size as the original if you
can..............
Hope this helps.

There is no warranty on any of the big 4 in any other country either, why would
Singapore be excluded? Read the manual, it says that if there is something
wrong with the bike when you buy it you're outta luck.

I had a CR125 that blew the CDI after 15 minutes. The dealer pointed
very quickly to the sales contract that said "no warranty". There is no
excuse for it breaking, but at least they made good on it. I like KTMs,
and have no trouble with them.

You *would*.
> Its the way acronyms would be spelled if English
> were rational...
When I were younger, I worked on exactly that thing: making English
spelling more predictable and consistent (if not outright rational).
Added a few rules, dropped useless things like double consonants,
made useless or redundant letters like 'c' and 'q' useful and
important again ('c' replaced the 'ch' combination, and 'q' the
'th' as in 'this'), and decreed that all vowels at the ends of
words became long vowels. It needs a few diacritical marks to be
complete (which I can't render in ASCII), but, in that most perfect
of worlds, "acronyms" would be spelled:
akronimz
So, he's *still* wide of the mark. And, since he didn't have my
Perfected Spellings (tm) to work with, he just plain _blew_it_
by any standard of English spelling.
And you forgot the apostrophe in "It's".

Nope. My spelling, my rules. 'q' replaces 'th' in words like

There's a price though- stuff like rebuilding the suspension a few times a season due to increasing stiction, and he says he can feel the fork oil degrade in a couple rides and he needs to replace it.
