I'm not sure this is a good time to compare with, as it was not set with a 'Moto3 Regulation ECU' Wink

Belle meule

Valencia this morning.
One engine, two frames: interesting to know if the ~~beautie~~ modern approach will win against the ~~beast~~ old style...
Very Happy

Je dois avoir un soucis car je trouve la KTM magnifique moi...

Pourquoi un souci [Moto3] KTM Kalex (Valencia Test and more...) 55116

Moi j'aime bien aussi [Moto3] KTM Kalex (Valencia Test and more...) 771973

Particulièrement agréable à l'œil, la zone entre la selle, le réservoir et le carénage.
Manque quand même un petit ~~garde boue~~ appendice aérodynamique avant

I'm not sure which is which... since what is new was once old...

Mr SF, does that enormous radiator mean that the KTM engine likes to run very cool? It looks big enough for a 600...

Not sure that all the grey device we see behind the fairing is only the radiator. [Moto3] KTM Kalex (Valencia Test and more...) 55116

??
What else could it be scratch

I totally agree with Graham B, that rad looks far too big. It will also be interesting to see how
long the 3 point cush drive rubbers on the rear wheel last. Even the Moriwaki had 4 drive
rubbers. My 450's have 5 (TZ250)

It is a big radiator and it works very well

When testing last week we had it half covered up to maintain its 95C ideal running temp

However it was very cold at Valencia last week.

Another way to put more weight well positioned? Why not.
Is it too light?
The fairing is a little too sharpy to help a good breath, my big twin 1000cc had never overheated with two small radiators SX like, because of two NACA extractors.

Yes, i have reported that in the main topic: [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Not only the eyes of some of the more established riders, but probably also of team managers...

First day of testing for the RW Racing squad did not go too well [Moto3] KTM Kalex (Valencia Test and more...) 55116

Brad Binder had a crash at the very end of the Valencia test which did quite a lot of damage including the clocks

The team rebuilt the bike but had to wait for Del'orto to bring some new clocks, then Brad did two laps only to find something was not quite right at the front end. This was traced to a problem at the steering head. Identified by Kalex.

So only 2 laps for Brad !!

Luis had a 'chassis' development from Kalex to test, but also had a day of problems with the electrics (Del'orto).

Hopefully everything is now sorted and will be much better for Day 2 ??
