Bigger supermotards reliability ?
Permalink  
 

Ok so im just wondering, How reliable are the bigger supermotards ? Like the Husqvarna 450 TE and 650 FE and the KTM SMC 690s ?

some guy i know is claiming that buying a not brand new one is going to be ****. Like the 2005 mods are too old and proboably worn out xD

so im just wondering anyone know how often you have to change the crank bearings or the crank itself on theese bad asses ?

Older Huskies will be reasonably unreliable, i'd of thought pre 2000 KTM's would be the same, but modern bike's you pretty much cant go wrong!
