[Phat Twin]

For Sale

1998 KTM 250 EXC NH Street Plated and Titled, $800/BRO

This bike is in great shape overall. Ridden by my then 17 year old son.
- New FMF Gnarly Expansion Pipe
- FMF Quiet Q2 Pipe
- Brand New Top End with 1 hour it. Fully resleeved at Millenium technologies.
- Oversized Acerbis 3 gallon Black Fuel Tank
- New 7/8’ Handlebars, with Bark Busters
- Sprung and Valved for 185 lb rider
- Street Plated in NH, NH Title as well
- Pirelli MT16 in rear 60% left
- Extra Front Rim and Rotor
- New last year rear fender with Acerbis LED fender, also New Headlight
- Newer Brake pads, only 20 hours on the pads
- All KTM original Owners Manuals
- Additional KTM 250/300/380 Mechanics Manual in 3 ring binder
- Anything that has been removed from this bike has been kept in a box with all other OEM parts taken off the bike.

Now for the rest.

Sent Motor to Freedom Cycle to have a diagnostic done on engine due to transmission fluid being pulled in (this was after the Cylinder re-sleeve and top end being redone, only one hour on the top end). Main Crank Bearings need to be replaced, as well as seals (I have a partial seal kit left with most of the bottom end seals) and the crank needs to be sent to Crank Works for a touch up. $200 shipped was the quote from Crank Works that I received. Motor is dissembled and in a box with all sections of the motor separated. The motor is NOT a jumbled mess in a box.

In the meantime, I bought a wr250 for my son that he is absolutely ripping on, and he is done with the KTM (Maybe it’s the e-start, I don’t know). Before this issue, we always fixed whatever needed to be fixed on the bike. I am pretty anal about my bikes.

If you are mechanically inclined and want a great project bike for cheap money, this is it. The Millenium Technologies re-sleeving, new top end and the new expansion pipe/exhaust are almost as much as the cost I am selling the bike for. You can fix and sell this bike with the plate and title for $1500 all day long. Super smooth, great woods bike, even though it’s a 98. Any questions, please ask.

PM me with questions, Pics available on request. I want to move the bike out, but I am not in a hurry to give it away. I’m in Nashua, NH.

hmmm take a couple pictures if you can...

who took the motor apart, you or Freedom cycles?

[breakdirt916]

wowza, that would be a fun plated smoker!

[tsorfas]

For $800? Why wouldn't someone buy this? Besides not riding dirt.

[breakdirt916]

I know, rite?

in socal, people make a living buying bikes like these and re-selling...I'm actually buying a family package today (4 bikes, 1 quad, trailer) because a dude is getting married and his future wife is a bitch...then selling it all off individually...probably going to make a couple G when it's all done (told him about it, and he doesn't care...he just needs it all gone), and get the perk of riding each of the bikes for a couple months

[Phat Twin]

Freedom Cycle did, beyond my depth to crack into the bottom end. I also paid someone to do the top end as well. I can post some pics when I get home.

feel free to PM me but did they give you any type of quote to finish the job? If i took it apart i feel like i could do it but seeing its already apart i'm not positive i would want to attempt it

Each part of the motor is sectioned off in a box, I'll take a picture to show you. That's is why I have the original manuals and also the mechanics manual to give you. They wanted me to buy a new OEM crank, which is insanely expensive, that's why I would send it to Crank Works. If I could rebuild a motor myself, that would be the cheapest way. For them to rebuild and button it up, probably 4-500, not including parts. That's why I said no thanks. You could probably get a used crank off eBay for less than Crank Works as well. I'll PM the pics tonight after I get back from riding.

Because this is titled in NH, can it be titled in MA too?

Sorry, don't know how things work in this here Peoples' Republik.

[Phat Twin]

In NH, anything over 15 years old does not require titling. I have the title from the previous owner. I am not sure what the letter if the law is in Mass. I will check the Title when I get home, but it does not say off-road use only. You will have to check with Mass to figure out their requirements for titling and plating.

Here is the deal, If it is an 'open' title ie: just signed by the seller and not signed over to you.. it can be used in MA with a BOS from 'him' selling it. If it is signed over to you as the buyer, unless you get it re-titled in your name, it's nothing but wall art to the Peoples Rebulik of Massholeachusetts. Unless you had a previous registration in YOUR name. Then it can be sold and registered in MA.

Thanks guys. Is this too much bike for a dirty beginner?

I have the title, and it has been signed over to me by the seller (My name is on the back). I have that title, I have the original BOS that the guy I bought it from gave me, plus I have last years registration from the State of NH. I will give the buyer a new BOS as well, and they can take both of those BOS to the State of their choosing.

I would say no, I started last year with a 200exc, this isn't too much more. The KTM 2T's are a little tamer than most.

[Phat Twin]

Still Available. Bump.
