Let's Transform the Bike that KTM Stopped Making 

The best RU-vid channel

Kincade I just want to thank you for making awesome content all the time, I just got my wisdom teeth out and have been binge watching your old builds and haven’t got bored yet

Just gave away a bike, and already a new project. Im loving it! keep it up

banga

Jesse and kincade!! 2 of my favorite RU-vidrs!!

Been waiting for this build, looking forward to see how you customise this bike. Ktm were crazy to stop making the 200 they’re such sweet bikes.

Bro crazy cross over of RU-vidrs, two of my favorite channels right now. Jesse is the fastest dude down here in the Florida off-road scene

As an owner of freshly rebuilt 06 EXC 200 I am really stoked on this project!

I had a KTM 200sx, best bike ever. Regret selling it..... Can't wait to see the build 😊😊😊👍

I am fascinated by your aftermarket products and usage. .

Stoked on this build. Always love seeing the older xc Ktms brought back to life!!!

That clip of you and the SxS gets shared all over hahaha. This bike is so cool!

Ah let’s go very excited for this build!!

i love your vids man, especially the one where you rebuilt your homie‘s bike, so sick

I have a 07 200 xc that I've raced for a couple years now and I am very impressed how it can hold its own with newer bikes. Very tough bike, sad ktm stopped making it though

Excited to see how this build comes out!

pretty cool your doing this im rebuilding a 2002 mxc200 right now and you just happened to come out with this video

Was waiting for this build! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Hey Kincade! I have a newer 200 (2013) that I’ve had forever, and here is some things I have learned with mine. 1.Front end upgrade. Your 2006 will have 18-20 adjustable clamps, whereas the newer stuff is mostly 22mm. The old clamps will work with those new forks, if that is what you want to do. The 22mm newer clamps may make the bike feel more stable, if that’s what you are looking for. My 200 came with 22s, and I swapped them with 20s to give it better front end traction; however I do ride in very tight singletrack where I rarely get out of 4th gear. 2. Clutch: I currently run a Brembo Slave cylinder with a Magura Master cylinder, so I wouldn’t worry too much about your scenario. The only thing I would be worried about is that the Brembo clutches usually take brake fluid, whereas the Maguras use mineral oil. My bike originally had all Brembo (clutch and master), so it has all the proper seals to handle the much nastier brake fluid. My concern with your setup is that it doesn’t have the correct seals to handle brake fluid, so if a seal goes in the slave cylinder, your engine gets completely trashed. You may be able to find a substitute that both of the components like. (I run a mineral oil based ATF in mine) 3. Motor: The 200 motor is crazy versatile, and extremely customizable. A lot of parts from different years and models (SX, XC, XCW) interchange to give you any sort of power you like. The best mod I did was put an SX CDI (from a 2010 150sx) in my 200, as it livened it up a ton without sacrificing bottom end. Yours, being a 2006, you may be able to only use 2003-2007 125-200 CDIs, but don’t quote me on that.

200 2 stroke is the best engine size for most people they should make a sx modell off the 200

Looking forward to this build!!

Very cool. I have an 05 200 xcw. I bought it last year are redid it over the winter from the frame powder coating on up. I love the dam thing. 200’s are awesome. There’s a few swaps out there that have put more modern plastic , tanks, seats and subframe on the older bikes to update the look. It’s cool although the old look doesn’t bother me. From my experience:I have newer style triple clamps and the older stock forks. I wish the Kreft AER 48’s on my 300xc were as plush. At lower speeds. I also wish the Lectron on my 300xc was as crisp as the old Keihin pwk38 on my 200.

I owned an 04 EXC and SX 200 years ago and loved both of them currently I have a 23 sx 250 smoker and a 21 factory edition 450 - in the process of buying a 24 beta rx 300 as well - I have been racing mx since 1977 and still going strong but for 24 I am going to play with hardscrabble on the 300 - I have raced a couple over the years but your channel and my getting older lol 😆 has me wanting to do something different etc - thank you for you great videos and all you share with us 🇺🇸

Love from India

Oh man I LOVE these 200s.

So hyped for this build!

Rebuilding my 04 ktm 250sx. Sick to watch you do such a similar bike, can’t wait!

I can’t wait to see the finished job. I would love to have this bike!

So stoked for this! currently building a 2004 ktm 200. Love your videos!

Jessey Ansley good rider

.. I love my 08 200.. it does great at Pipestone and Bridgers .. looking forward to the vids ...

Glad your gonna bring the 200 back to better than new another great video

i want to do this job when i grow up, you are living my dream 😜

What you do really is amazing man I don’t know how you do it ❤

Nice bike man. You’ve inspired me to grab my highschool 02 ktm 200 from my dads shed and bring her back to her former glory. Gonna rebuild it this winter. Beyond stoked

I'm new to your channel and man it's awesome watching you rebuild these old two strokes. Keep up the good work!!

If your ever having a bad day with bikes just watch KP bro! This guy is one of the best bike mechanics I’ve ever watched!! Keep up with the sweet work my man!!

i can’t wait to see it

I got my 200SX/06 chassis/17 YZ front end handling as good as my 22 YZ250F...pretty much. Actually I put the YZ stuff onto my 24 300SX and the 300SX front end onto the 200, fork uses the Coppersmith Ohlin's spring cartridge in one leg. Both bikes are sweet.

Can't wait to see the finished bike. Love the 200s. My wife has a 13. For injury reasons she may not continue to ride. I might have to let it go. I have a early 06 KTM450. The early models were horrible for the quarter turn. First year of that. Once I had it replaced (KTM had a recall) it didn't leak. Maybe I was lucky, but you might try a newer replacement cap if you don't want to run a different tank or a 07 tank (same, but different material and cap).

I was looking for a KTM 200 XCW but ended up with a low hour 2019 TE150 instead, which I’m pretty impressed with thus far. High compression TSE head and billetron carb. This thing rips. Suspension/brakes feel great too.

Da best dirtbike RU-vidr fr

I was just looking at an '04 on marketplace. Thinking about picking that up and doing KYB conversion up front. Great video. Excited to see how your build turns out.

Thanks for another awesome video I've recently bought my first dirt bike but unfortunately the clutch side case has a huge crack in it. Either way i am really glad that it is here and im going to save up to buy a new case.

This is so sick dude, not many people do the 200s, whould be awesome if you did a plastic swap to the 2020 plastics aswell!

I LOVE jour builds

Ahh watching the ratchet gouge the swingarm at 1:46 hurt a little! Love the video though! As always quality work and fun to watch.

best RU-vidr to be alive 🙌

I just bought one a couple weeks ago but it has a ported 250cc cylinder now and damn this things a beast

My Dad has a 99 200 exc amazing bike. Its the bike that myself and my bother learned on.

Definitely gonna watch this build, I have a 05 ktm exc 200. Interested to see how the clutch master cylinder swap works

Do you have to use the cerakate strainer when dropping the cerakate in the spray gun or do u use it

Kind of a cool idea, but the problem with that generation of KTM wasn’t the front end, it was the rear end. You’ll have nice forks with a linkageless rear end that’s stiff and bouncy, super easy to swap out especially in high speed enduro. Wouldn’t go too crazy on this one’s budget, you’ll be right back on your 350 when it’s done

i got oem radiator gaurds for my bike that look like those and they dont fit. they feel like they are going to break. any tips?

Hi I have a 200 exc in from the uk I’ve just rebuilt it from top to bottom with all brand new bolts I’m wondering if you can get electric start to work on the older engine. Love the vids mate

What year are the clamps your getting and what are they originally off?

Love the build! Ive got an 02' 125sx im currently rebuilding and wanting to do this same front end swap. Is it possible for me to use the OEM 02' tripple clamps and just fabricate an adapter plate like the ones sold for the new generations? or do the 2020 front fenders not fit correctly between the tripple clamps?

Nice, man. Im rebuilding a 2005 250 exc, very similar bike (nearly done) have a look at oberon clutch upgrade, im pairing that new slave cylinder with a new brembo master that allows better performance and you can move to using dot 4 instead of mineral oil. Should look it up. The magura masters are weak and prone to corrosion internally and the oberon slave upgrade is much stronger than the magura and better sealed (its billet too, so looks nice). Its been a while since i loooked at it but i am notnsure the brembo will work with the magura slave because the magira has to run mineral oil and the brembo is designed for dot4/5. Hence my reasoning

I'll be putting my cr500 engine in my 08 ktm 450 chassis this next week.

Hey man you are the beset. I learned so much from you!! You could do a Yamaha DT125R restoration the legend of enduro

Hi

It would be cool to see a rebuild of a 360 EXC

Just a heads up - Magura uses mineral oil and Brembo uses brake fluid, you cannot mix and match there. Awesome video! The 200 looks like the perfect enduro/single track bike.

old magura uses mineral oil. if you put the brembo clutch (dot 4/5.1) the magura sleeve cylinder gaskets will get leaky en crack and so on (tried it once on a trip and i broke the clutch purse... didn't last long). maybe if you change the o-rings etc. aswell it will work.... otherwise a 2018 husqy magura clutch setup?

I have a Ktm 200sx witch handles so well

Love the channel , one of the best!!!! Question ?? How will the newer brembo clutch pump swap with magura clutch pump ?? Because the brembo uses brake fluid when the magura mineral oil ?? Would this be workable ?? to operate with magura clutch slave ?

Kincade I was just curious what is the engine stand you use for your builds? I wanna rebuild my 2013 RMZ 250 so i was curious.

💪🔥🙏

any plans for the rear shock in terms of upgrades ?

I used to have a 2001, made the mistake of having a house party when my parents were gone. Dad came home and sold my bike. That was back in 2007. Now I have a 2003 yz125

why dont you run a Lectron carb on it ,isnt it cheaper and better?

Put the 200 engine in the 350 chassis, not too much work and it is amazing.

Should i get a lectron or a smart carb?

Do a Build the snowmobile in the background

You absolutely escaped death. I can see the driver veer and you as well. Sometimes are are no do overs. You are blessed. May your supernatural guardian continue to protect you.

Hi, do you build other peoples bikes?

ive always wanted a bike but my dad said money tight

I have ktm 200 exc good bike

tool box tour?

I have a KTM 65sx

dude that was a close call. your life almost changed for the worse with that near miss

My dad has a KTM 200 xcw

Did the winner of the dirt bike claim the bike

kincade i just want to say that i used my dads number and im thankful for the guards (BTW my number is 2115)

It makes me sad to see KTM going away from more interesting or far fetched CCs on 2 strokes. The discontinuation of the 200 and nowadays the discontinuation of the SX150. IMO the 150cc-200cc 2 strokes are some of the best 2 strokes for "goon" riders who don't plan on racing moto or enduro competitively.
