Project Bike: 2018 KTM 450 XCF Conversion

- Why not convert a non-current SXF into an XCF? It just takes a large tank, 18 Inch rear wheel and a kickstand to make it happen. This bike that Jay Clark came across needed some fixing, so while he had the engine out to get the frame powder coated he freshened it all up. No real performance mods were done, other than the Vortex ignition Mapped by Jamie at Twisted Development and the removal of the backfire screen.

I can't believe this. I am literally thinking about buying an sxf for $800+ cheaper than an XCF and doing the conversion. You guys rock, best timing for me possible.
I'm not sure I would go that route. The $800 will be gone in the rear wheel and the big tank. Still leaves the kickstand, the mapping, gearing, and suspension to deal with. Unless I found a great deal on a used sxf that needs to be redone anyways.
@@cruisesuski1280 No doubt. I have considered getting an SX and just doing the tank ($300-$325), leave the rear wheel a 19. I am 190 so the suspension stock is fine actually and xact fork is pretty adjustable. And likely add a sprocket change to bring it down a bit, leave mapping. The kickstand is a tough one though. I am assuming the sxf frame doesn't have the mounting tab that the xcf uses on their stocker stand. Bummer.

This is a great option. I have one on my 2016 conversion and love it.
Thoughts on 2018 frame vs 2019 frame Pingree?? Anything stand out? I have a 2018 300xc and love it, haven't tried the 19/20 frame though yet.
I have a 20 frame and It feels great! Very predictable, precise, and I just point the bike where I want to go and 99 times out of 100 it does it

@vitalmx building a yz125, will be raced mx,gncc type events, and weekend trail riding, out in the northeast, what do you suggest for linkage? I have been looking at ride engineering and bud racing linkage sets
I have a 2013 XC-F 250 and want to make it more MX. What changes should i make ?
19” rear wheel, drop a tooth or 2 on the rear sprocket, remove the kick stand, mx fuel tank. Exhaust of your choice. Done
Siiiick. BraaaaaaaaP
