You'll Probably Never Get To Ride!

The best dirtbike ever made? The KTM 200 SX is the vet riders dream. 125 weight and fun with more manageable power than a KTM 250 SX. KTM had very limited production of these bikes in 2003 & 2004. Brock Sellards even raced a 200SX in AMA Supercross because of it’s light weight. The KTM 200 SX weighs up to 25lbs less than a Japanese 250 2-stroke, making it's power to weight ratio just as high or higher than a 250 2 stroke.

Those things were pretty bomb proof. I rode one last year. Surprisingly powerful, but man are they mushy chassis 🤣 Of course that's fine for a day of rocks and roots.
I recently purchased a ktm 200 2004 and oh my days no bike in my opinion will compare😄👍👍
I have 1 here in the UK, all original. Love it very quick bike
I have an 04 here in Denver that i completely rebuilt and upgraded. race tech the suspension too.

Your the man id like to talk too! Im getting ready to make a 2 day drive from CO to buy a 03 200sx. Always wanted to do a Redbull replica and now im gonna! Any idea where i can find the graphics/?Also looking for Doma pipe for the 200.

👍 180 Decals will make graphics and Doma still makes pipes. That's where I plan to get mine.
Hey man, i got an 200 SX too, where do you get those nice plastics?

Its just a mix of Stock Acerbis and Acerbis aftermarket. Graphics are partly stock, partly old ONE Industries and backgrounds etc.. are Decal Works. The later also makes full graphics kits for it too, which I have but never installed.
The 03 200mxc I used to have is the one bike I wish I didn't sell. But just picked up a 05 525exc, street legal. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to ship my bike to Hawaii, from So Cal, when I visit Hawaii and use it to get around instead of a rental car

Sorry man, thought I replied to this days ago. I don’t even know what I reply to anymore because YT deletes so many of my comments. Not worth it at all. With shipping rates what they are now, a great deal would be $700-800 each way. That’s after you drain the fluids and crate it up. Chances are you wouldn’t even get that rate.
I got one! Completely rebuilt race tech suspension, airstryker 39mm, one ring piston, V force, pro circuit.

No. The 200EXC pipe is is more like a 250 pipe though. Moves power down. 200SX pipe is like a 125 pipe but much fatter and puts the power more up top.

@@JohnHowerton137Yes, mine has a 125 like pipe but more volume on the expansion chamber. Aggressive like hell. But not capable for Enduro riding. With this exhaust the powerband comes very late. Maybe I will try the 200 exc exhaust. Guess the exc exhaust makes less power than with the six exhaust but more rideable for Enduro trails. I will upload a Video where you can see how high it revs with the original exhaust.

@sdezy_ yeah, I’ve ridden/have both. The EXC is much flatter on top and less hit. They both have their place. I prefer the stock one for situations with traction, but a rainy grassy field in a XC race or greasy roots, the EXC pipe would be more manageable.
With the stock pipe it made 38rwhp at the time, 2 more than the 125 but with lots more botom end
Have to have it
How do l get that to run like ken roczens 94 yz250
What exhaust do you have on there

Currently it's a 200 EXC FMF Gnarly & Powercore 2.1 silencer. I prefer the stock pipe for the top end, but I was riding rocky stuff and I'm afraid to dent it!
I have a ktm 200 2002 super clapped out and my friend runns the same gearing on his yz 250 we have the same exeleration and the same top speed

Yeah, they run good. The KTM 250SX of that era was almost too fast (reason they built the 200 for Brock Sellards), I had and sold them. The Japanese 250s were a joke in comparison, especially when it comes to build quality. Honestly, it's still that way which is why I still ride KTMs 23 years later. Japanese bike bike claps out 4x faster than your KTM 🤣
You still have that white 250sx?

I had one of those too. I raced Japanese 250s for a few years before I bought it… and was scared of it for about 2 weeks 😆
No linkage for the win..that also makes it have the best airbox ever moving the shock over.. this clip is 100% legit I claim my 09 250 to be best dirtbikes ever made..

I like the PDS. I don't race Supercross though. I think it's proven itself in all other disciplines. Check out my playlist for the 250SX like yours I rebuilt.
I have a 200sx that I bought in 2019 with 3 hours on it. I will never part with it! Probably the funnest bike I have ever rode

Cool bikes too. Many similarities.
I need that worx pipe
Your compression needs to be 200 to 210 and mxro2 is the power gas and do cylinder porting and not just anybody can balance the crank and add titanium
Get it to run correctly
