  • 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.

    I had a 2000 ktm 200mxc when I was in high school. I haven’t seen it in almost 20 years, lo and behold I have the opportunity to buy it back, yes the same bike I owned. I am selling my yz400f to get it back

      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.

      My dad had one of those and he loooveedddd it! As he got older though he wanted something less snappy and got a 2004 KTM 450MXC around 2010. He passed in 2019 and now I have the 450 and I'm keeping it alive ❤ just rode it on some trails/hillclimbs today!!!

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  3 місяці тому

      Haha. He probably liked the electric power and weight of that KDX 200 better. 450 MXC was a great bike, but that huge desert tank made it handle a little heavy and push in the slower stuff. Just drop on the SX tank 👌

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  Рік тому +1

      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..

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  Рік тому

      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.

  • @emexduzentos

    With the stock pipe it made 38rwhp at the time, 2 more than the 125 but with lots more botom end

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  8 місяців тому

      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 🤣

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  Рік тому

      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.

  • @motomaex420
    @motomaex420 5 місяців тому

    I just got one this year.
    My question is can i just switch the pipes or do i have to change something in the carburator?

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  5 місяців тому

      You can just switch. Ideally you might jet differently, but it will be close enough if it’s already close.

    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

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  9 місяців тому

      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.

  • @Nordkampf

    Hey got this exact model a few months ago was wondering can she fit a 250 pipe on there or only 200?

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  Рік тому

      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.

    • @sdezy_
      @sdezy_ Рік тому

      @@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.

    • @JohnHowerton137
      @JohnHowerton137  Рік тому

      @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.

      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!
