Congrats! I think you'll like it a lot especially if you like the old school type of 4T power--and lots of it!

oh yes i love it

i would like to check the valves i know what the gap should be but would like to find someone that can give me a hand with it

My understanding with the KTMs, they are like the Huskies. They have a set screw type adjusters instead of having shims. Should be pretty easy to check, just get it to TDC and adjust them there. Why do you want to check them? Is it hard to start? Or just preventive maintenance?

Looks like it will be a fun ride, you should get out with us when it dries up a little.
