    my old ktm

    its a 1983 (i think) ktm 250 2 stroke, air cooled. not sure what model. it was a 6 speed, came with a stator on it, headlight too but when i picked it up it had motocross number plates on. so im not sure if its really an 83 and what model. maybe some of you might know?

    its currently torn down for a rebuild, the crank loosened up, lost compression and blew apart, shattered peices of ring went into the piston. i hope thats not fried cus this bike has been a heck of a time to find parts for! ive had it since i was 12, which has been 15 years now..

    I redid an old Cagiva 125 and needed a piston.After a call to Wiesco a gentleman looked up in old books they had and found out a newer Kawasaki piston would fit.The kid is still riding it 3 years later.I'd call a KTM dealer with the vin.# and find out exactly what you have,then call Wiesco.
