SM conversion for the Kart track....

KTM fitment oversized rotor caliper bracket I assume?

 

[Beagle]

Looks like you had a good time, any idea about top speed and battery use?

I don't miss shifting gears in motocross because I prefer using my forefeet to support my body, but I think that in supermoto I'd prefer shifting: do you agree?
Do you think that overall the SM Varg gives you more fun than a gas bike?
Have you tried backing it in? To me it feels like the regen braking would be too weak even if set to maximum and with my gas SM downshifting gives me more control on the engine braking than just releasing the throttle.

So many questions from us all, but an electric SM is quite interesting and not really common!

 

[Kurlon]

Coming from two stroke SM, I hoping the transition is easier for me ‘cause what is engine braking anyways? I’m also looking forward to not having to dance on that shift lever.

Yes...

The front brake didn't fade? You need a Supermoto brake. I tried that on my 450SXF and it faded after a lap or two.

Wow so quiet it's even more quiet than my Redshift SM. You should come race with us in Redding. They're having a race at Desert Park Raceway for the Sierra Nevada Moto Championship. Next race will be in Stockton.

DO you happen to have a parts list of what you needed to make the conversation? I know KTM/Alpina wheels work when you change out the front spacers, but would love to know what parts were needed to get it fully converted over... like the fork lower to use a radial brake, etc.

FYI Warp9 Racing sells custom supermoto wheels for the Varg

Here it is with a set of W9's and a new hanger adaptor/bracket for a radial mount caliper.
(I put the other wheels back on my FS450)
The adaptor was purchased here... VM racing axial to radial adapter KTM Husqvarna Gasgas

Thanks for that y'all. I've got a spare set of OE alpinas for the FS/SMR so I should be ok in the wheels.

Will that caliper adapter fit on the stock Varg shock? Also.. I need new spacers, correct

Front spacers are the same, in the back use the Varg spacers.
This adaptor is for 100mm radial mount caliper, bolts onto OEM Varg fork lower.
You can also buy an adaptor for the stock caliper (like in this pic) which worked fine and didn't fade...

Thank you and my apologies, I meant fork (but looks like you understood what I meant)

gonna buy one now. It looks like I'll need a single set of spacers for the OE 320MM Caliper?

Do you happen to have a link for that spacer?

 

[jokerio]

What spacer ?

 

[ducatidesmo]

What spacer ?

Apologies, the stock caliper adapter. I was in "spacer" mode when I wrote that.

 

[ducatidesmo]

I forgot to ask, what are yall using for the Fork and swingarm sliders? Footpeg sliders should be fairly simple. Swingarm sliders look to be the problem.
