Since KTM decided to drop the 200cc motor in favor of this 150cc, it is lacking a bit of power, specifically comparing it to the low end of the older 200cc bikes. My guess as to why they dropped the 200 was to reduce costs of having so many different motors. They can probably use almost all the same parts for the 125 and the 150, so it makes sense for them to “thin the herd” of motors and drop the 200. That could free them up to spend money other places.
No matter the reason they dropped the 200, we find ourselves now with this 150. In my riding, I’ve noticed that it would be a bit better if it had a little more power on the low RPMs, so I decided to try this RK Tek custom head insert in the bike.

Cool! Can't wait to see the video of the test ride !
I think that was the coolest intro ever AC/DC "If you Want Blood" and a 2 stroke, heaven in a nutshell🤘i love your AC/DC intros
I appreciate your videos Kyle and enjoy watching your adventures a lot. I find the term keyboard jokes and the haters as others call them quite funny. I think a lot of them are usually just passionate about bikes and are offering their ideas and thoughts. This is a public forum and they may know a thing or two about what they are saying, or not. Thanks.
Thanks for this video - exactly what I needed today.
Keep up the great vids man lovin it!love the ktm 150
I will be awaiting your review of the RK Tek Head on the 150 xc-w.
Don't let the negative nancys get to you Kyle. Great videos! 🖖
I'm excited by this. I am ordering one myself. Definitely worth trying the OEM Mikuni and jetting settings with the insert installed now too and compare to the Lectron. I know I'm on a keyboard right now but I bet that little beastie sounds a lot healthier without the Lectron (bigger motors seem to cope with the Lectron better as a grunt tamer and jetting avoidance trick). Nice job Kyle.
Where’s the follow up review on this head? I’m debating if I should buy a 150xcw and would love to know if this head helps the bottom end power. Thanks!
What flywheel weight do you recommend i use on a yz250? I ride woods and its a mix of technical, open, everything you find in the woods. Also the places i ride also have an mx track which i ride some. I want the power to come on really smoothly so it is controllable and doesnt lift up every time i get on the throttle.
I was always taught when doing ur star pattern you dont want to completely tighten them untill u have gotten them all slightly tight. Or ur still just binding something.
Can I get on of these for my 2017 kx100? It's in need of low end.
Its just as important to use a star pattern when removing fasteners as it is when torquing fasteners.
Kyle, can you give me the link to the work stand u use, looks like a great work height. (Also where u get that flexible funnel) thanks!
Kyle Can you do a review on the Goldentyre Fatty front
I’d love to see you try vmh heass
Review all this RK Tek head on the 150xcw?
How do you compare the 200 XC-W vs 150 XC-W? I have a 2015 KTM 200 XC-W and heard very good things about the 150. Would you say it's just as powerful?
Is there any webbsite i can buy a rk tek head? I live i sweden tho. And i have a 125 xc-w 1017.
Would you advise installing this mod in the 2020 tpi version?
