I just test-rode one of these for the first time (2009 model) and HO LY CHEEZE BALLS! That SOHC engine is a TORQUE MONSTER! LOOOOVE IT! My favorite dirt bike engine ever! They went to DOHC after 2011 I believe, which softened the torque quite a bit, but now I'm hunting for one of these older beauties!
I really appreiate your mature ,engaging videos.Your omission of horrible,overbearing background music proves that you understand that most bike owners and potential purchasers do not still live in their parents basement.
Ha ha! Thanks Rick! We appreciate that! - Justin
I really like seeing these older bike rebuilds,I have the 06 KTM 450xc G racing model and it's holding up well,I will def rebuild it when the time comes. Great video.
Yup thanks , the only music we need is an engine ,,,for us with concussions and tinnitus, ! Hey Guy Parrett, Dooner, Shane Watts
Recently bought one of these bikes '04 450exc and this video has been a huge inspiration. Currently stripping the bike for powder-coating right now. Hoping to have it back and on the trails/road by April.
Sounds like an awesome bike restoration! Glad you like the video, thanks.
Wonderful video. Love when you take an old bike and fix it. I drive old bikes and this inspires me a lot of what to do. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Petter! Reviving an older bike with a purpose in mind is great therapy for any bike owner. ~Vinny
Rocky Mountain ATV MC Seeing how well this project turned out I'm starting to consider buying an old bike like a CR500 and fixing it up. I normally ride new bikes, my current bikes are all 2013 or newer and seeing this has really made me second guess how I spend my money.
Daniel Napast YES! 👊 I like where you're going with the old CR500. That would make a sweet bike build! Be sure to send us a link of the restoration process. Cheers. ~Vinny
My main bike is a 2014 300xcw. I just picked up an '04 450 to revive and so far its been an awesome project.
Nothing wrong with old, I upgraded my bike which is a 04 450 EXC R also. The motor is bullet proof for TBO, nice video and the article in Dirt Bike was rocking also.
I have 05 exc450, best bike ever. Very reliable
Re purposing my 04 450 exc now as a dual sport - racing fz350 now. What wiring harness did you use for brake lights ? And high beams.
Showed a lot of krap but nothing that is ds. I am sure your knobs were dot approved either.
So what lighting kit/switches mount well
How did you modify the IMS fuel tank to get the trailer tech fan on the radiator? I have the same bike and there is no room between the ims tank and the radiator to use a ktm fan and I imagine the trail tech one isn’t much different. I currently use I beast of a cpu fan and it works pretty good.
8:07 How I feel about this video !! Great job all around !!
This is awesome... i love this video. I have the same exact bike and i have been looking for ideas to bringing the bike back to life. This is great. Thank you guys for what you do. Now... if you guys can make a video on how to bring an '84 cr500 back to life i would greatly appreciate it 😉
Thanks again
I just bought an 2005 525 EXC and am looking to do a rebuild next winter. The EXC are great bike because powerful but still very reliable. I think that’s why they sell so fast.
I agree with you, the best of both worlds.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the new bike!
I really like that he takes good care of his equipment....
What would the Build Cost be for a (regular) person ? One is for sale locally that’s been neglected.
Will that plastic kit fit my 2003 450exc I really like the way the number plates look
Great video. I am currently doing my 2002 KTM 250 EXC 4 stroke. A list of products used would be helpful . Thanks
Did you click the link in the description? Here it is: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/Sales/648/2004-KTM450EXC-DualSport-Bike-Build?
This dude going through puberty at 43
The voice cracks are real
*E3 ReTRo* ..happens to the best of us. :)
E3 ReTRo ikr, i was thinking the same thing
Nice job!!! I picked up a 2005 KTM 450exc 6 days edition, really nice to see aftermarket parts. I've had a hard time finding upgrades for it.
This Katoon can be transformed into a really sweet trail machine, with the right parts! Thanks for watching. ~Vinny
Wow, I have the same bike, I must say that bike came out so good! I hope my bike looks that good someday! Lol slowly but surely!
This boy hitting second puberty
Nice video!! My 04' MXC has blown fork seals, my rear suspension may be shot, my plate & tail light keep hitting the tire and ripping plate n light off, cant go into neutral at a stop unless I kill the engine or get lucky while I'm still rolling, bleed brakes every2nd or 3rd ride, fuel drains(pours) out of float if the bike isn't running... the suspension always seemed stiff even before the seals blew out...
#me too...
Where did you get tail light?
Great video as always. Really dumb question here, but im thinking of buying an 03 exc 450 and my question is are all exc models street legal with appropriate lights horn mirrors etc. That's my goal. Just wanna make sure before I buy it. Thanks again guys, great video keep em coming
In 2007 was the first year that the EXC was 50-state street legal in the US. But the '03 you're looking at could have had a street legal kit added or depending on where you live, your state may have more or less strict requirements to making the bike street legal so depending on your local laws making it street legal may not take very much work.
Great bike rebuild. I have an 05 450 EXC that I would love to do that too however it would be less expensive to buy a brand new 2021 Bike 😂
Is there a parts list for this build?
I have a 2007 that I am restoring 👍🏼
Nice! The first link in the description will take you to a page with a lot of the parts we used on this build.
@@rmatvmc I cannot seem to find what exhaust you used on this build. I realize it is a PowerCore 4 but I cannot seem to find one that suits a 2007 KTM 450 exc.
I love this bike so much even I never had it..:/
Can someone please tell me where I can find a crank kit for this bike? mine is a 03 model
What plastic kit is that I love the way it looks
It's the Polisport full plastic kit with an updated front number plate and fender.
What was the process to get it licensed? Im thinking of buying an '04 near me(SoCal), but need to have it street legal. Thanks
That Big Black Guy Channel: look CAREFULLY online, even UA-cam. Licences aren't nec unless u are engaged in commerce. Check it out
The CS cutoff to convert a dirtbike to plated was Feb 2003 and you had to have the right vin number to qualify.
Is KTM 450 RR model for Dakar, made out of a 450 EXC :?
Can you send me the info on your friends tuning shop?
Will 04 or 05 exc plastic kits fit on a 05 450 mxc?
The EXC plastic kit doesn't list your bike as one of the machines that uses the same part number. I'm not sure how different they are but it would at least require some modification. You may be able to check some forums and see if you can find exactly what you'd have to do to make it work.
@@rmatvmcok thanks for the info and quick response
Where can you buy that seat from?
Unfortunately, we don't sell this seat anymore but you can still get the seat foam and cover from Motoseat.com .
I had always heard you couldn't use a fan with an IMS Desert tank, I guess I heard wrong?! I have a 525, maybe it's different
Depends on the year you have? I'm showing for the KTM 525 EXC 2003-2007 are the same tank as the 450EXC. ~ Vinny
Where can i buy those Side covers from the engine ?
It looks like these are not aftermarket covers but actually just the stock ones that are powder-coated.
Hope that helps!
uh yea that makes sense, thank you for the fast response !
@1:33 get redy 4 the vois crack lol
Looks HEAVY. 40-80 extra pounds!?!?!
andrew gates why?
I appreciate rock mountain at mc but this is basically 90% commercial. Show some more action
KTM 450 or 520??
Almost looks like a 2017
You do realise they have a 2020 450exc
Did you listen?
