I wish KTM would make a production model of this. Nice bike!
Yeah that would be cool but for now, this one’s for sale 😂
I just bought a brand new KTM 450 smr I'm getting ready to convert it to street. I need all the info I can get thank you so much for this video.
Absolutely. Post here again if you find yourself having issues. The best resource is going to be True North Motos
Add quarter inch spacers under the stock upper screws on the headlight and use oem rubber straps to hold the headlight down.
Good advice! I had the stock straps on order but moved before they arrived. Zip ties workin for now 😂
I'm building the same bike. Just ordered a stator from Ricky stator. 80w. Should see all my parts this weekend
Nice! Good luck with the build. It’s quite a fun one.
Love it
The maintenance schedule is if your running it on the track basically wide open.
Yeah I’m aware but I do maintenance a lot on all the bikes. My sportbikes get them often too.
Hey very nice and helpful content! I'm considering doing the same thing on a FS450 but I still have some doubts that maybe you can help. One of them is about the odometer/speedometer.. is it needed to be fully legal there? The other one is if the OE rotor is enough to power all the lights + charge the battery? Thank you.
I’m not sure about every area but I don’t need on odometer and speedo in Texas. The charging system seems to be holding up for my stock light set up as of now. It has a lithium battery which is very good for LEDs and such which is what I used for the turn signals. Also True North Motos wiring harness has a delayed on and off relay for the headlights and such which allows easier starting on the battery
My dream moto....
Me too, bro…
Can you please make a video on wiring procedure on the same mode (450srm/sx-f)
It’s a complete plug and play harness from True North Moto so there’s really nothing to make a video on. It’s just plugging in wires. I’m also selling the bike so it’s stored until sold. Sorry
I just got a 2024 and your video is awesome man thanks for the info. What wheels are you using? I’m trying to figure out what 17” front wheel will work.
So I have the stock ones for now but Alpina makes a direct fit 17”. They suck to deal with though. I paid for mine and waited and they were late shipping so I cancelled it.
Hi, wondering what you mounted your rear turn signals to - does the KTM plate mount include those "tabs" to mount indicators?
No you have to figure out where you want them and drill holes or make/buy a way to mount. The Yoshi ones I used came with mounting parts.
Awesome video. Buying my first SM and am looking at the 500's and the SMR. Dont have a ton of time to wrench on a brand new bike (business owner). What was the approximate cost and time investment for this? I've heard the 500 makes similar performance once the OEM emissions junk is removed. Its more cc's so would imagine comparable (at least) torque.
It didn’t take much time but I build bikes a lot. It cost a few thousand. The 500 will make a better bike if you plan to ride highway and stuff. Makes less power and weighs more though. My SMR weighed in at like 200 ish pounds when I put it on a scale. I built this because I still plan to race it and really only plan to hooligan it around. Not using for daily commute or highway at all.
Awesome info! But not sure if I missed how you powered the lights? Different stator?
Looking to possibly do the same on an fs or smr
It has the stock stator for now. Not sure which one to upgrade to.
Ricky stator has a 80w
hello.. does the 500 Exc rear fender directly fit? and where did u get it from? also where did u get the mirrors from? if you could provide links that would be great. Thanks
Everything was through True North Motos. they do conversions all the time and have everything ready to go for an easy install. The mirror is just a CRG mirror from Revzilla.com
How long is the kickstand from the pivot point to the foot.?
13.75 inches from pivot to the bottom of the foot
Thanks for the video. I have thought about this for a long time. Did you do any alternator mods for the lights? I have a buddy that street legalized and SMed a CR500 Honda. Ridiculous. LOL
So there are options for upgrading stator but I didn’t do it. Seems to be fine on the stock system as the lights are all low draw.
What did you do for the key? I have a yz450fx and would like to add a deterrent like a key or hidden switch.
OEM KTM Ignition and key set
So if i were to buy a new ktm 450 smr put what was needed on it i could get a plate for it and drive fully legally?
It all depends where you live and if it can be plated or not. Texas you can
Hi, great video! I am looking to buy the best supermoto there is but I am a bit confused because there are so many options. I could convert a ktm SX 250 or SX-F 450 and make them street legal but would the 450 SMR still be better? The enduro versions would be also a good option as they are already street legal and of course there is the 690 SMC R. What advice could you give me? Thanks!
Hands down best supermoto imo is the SMR. If you want more streetability I would do the SMC R but the SX and SXF are dirt bikes so I wouldn’t use the platform. I did the SMR because I want to hooligan around but be able to still go race it and be competitive.
And what about a converted 500 exc-f or 300 exc compared to the 690 smc r?
They are both designed for off road primarily so I would do the 690. The choice there would be if you primarily want to ride on or off road. O road I would do 690 and off road do an EXC.
Need a update video!
I’ll try to shoot a video for update on two of the bikes soon. Not much else done to the KTM except it’s finished and I’m too lazy to go to the DMV and stand in line
Hey what’s your recommendation for a ktm street legal supermoto conversion, sx, smr, or excf?
I did the SMR because it’s a completely different bike. The other bikes would be dirt bikes with street tires. I’ve never understood how people put slicks on a dirt bike and think it’s a supermoto 😝
Doing this to a 21 FS450, where did you locate the taillight plug on the bike?
Physically it’s by the battery but I used all OEM lights and parts except True North Motos sells a ready made wiring harness so you can run lights. Great dude too, look him up on IG
Hey buddy!! awesome bike, I have just recently been trying to decide what kind of supermoto to build, would love to pick your brain about this if you dont mind.
Not much to pick 😂 I built the bike, haven’t ridden it and it’s for sale now but hit me up on IG
Hey love the vid any idea if this stuff would work with a 24 smr?
It’s the exact same bike so it would be the same from what I’m tracking. The key is True North Moto harness that’s plug and play.
@@Boosted_14R did you have to do anything to the charging system? Like bigger stator?
I didn’t but I would recommend it for sure.
What size rear sprocket are you running?
Stock for now
Hey, what mirror is that? I've been looking for those bar mounted ones forever
It’s a CRG mirror for the bar end and I machined part of it out so it dropped below the bars like that.
@@Boosted_14R Ah, ok. I can't do that :))
Dremel would work fine just be a little rough
Hi bro!.Which rim will be compatible in 17" for the SMR 450, since it comes with a 16.5"
Regards
Mine still has 16.5 but you can buy Alpina wheels with 17” rim so it matches the stocks
@@Boosted_14R thank you for the info bro! Where can i find them? Can you help me with a link please 🙏
It’s only direct on their website as far as I know and they are made in Italy so it may be a pain in the ass.
Hey, does the smr have different gear ratios than the sxf? There aren’t any smrs here in Idaho that i can find, but tons of sxfs. Thinking i could buy 17” wheels, Anna all i would really lack would be the slipper clutch?
The SMR is a completely different bike than a SXF. most don’t understand but there’s a lot of differences. I actually am selling this bike if you’re looking to travel for one. Not sure about gear ratio but the geometry, suspension, clutch, triple tree, brakes, engine has differences, I noticed everything is different from when I made this street legal. The plastics aren’t even the same nor are they direct swaps.
Can it do 80 on the freeway in its current gearing for you? Where are you located? I might be interested..
Hit me up on IG @Boosted_14R I’m in West Texas.
@@Boosted_14R I sent you a message on Instagram. Do you still have this bike? I'm over in Louisiana.
Just saw this but yes I still have it available to sell
Great video! I've followed you're instructions to convert my 2019 FS450. Dan at True North is great and has sent me everything I need. I'm stuck on finding wheels though... Warp 9 is telling me their front wheel will hit the the oversized brake caliper on this bike. Is this why you went with the more pricey Alpina wheels? Are you aware of any other budget friendly wheel options?
Also... My brother has a FE501 (supermoto'd out) with the same crazy maintenance schedule.. He changes his oil every 15-20hrs and has over 450hrs without rebuilding the top end yet.. and his valves have always been in spec. That being said he regularly does leak down tests to ensure it not loosing compression. He says this maintenance schedule is meant for the strain of racing. Spirited riding on the street will prolong the motor.. He plans to do the top end this winter though.
Also.. what tire sizes did you go with? Any rubbing with the chain in the rear?
So I chose alpina because I couldn’t find any others that would fit but ended up cancelling and keeping my 16.5”. As far as the tires, I had ordered some but I moved before they came in so I have my slicks on still. Hope that helps some, it’s not an easy project but mine passed inspection in Texas.
I have a ktm smr 450 but I don't know how to put a kickstand on it
It’s a 450SX kickstand cut to a custom length
What mirror is that?
It’s just a bar mount CRG mirror that I cut up to make it fit at the angle I have.
I've watched this video a few times in the past. Was wondering if you figured out a way to reduce maintenance. As in larger crank case to hold large volume of oil. Maybe tried different materials for the valves to last longer?
Thank you for the support! I haven’t found anything that help with maintenance but I wanna say it’s every 10 hours so that’s 600 miles at 60MPH So it’s not really bad compared to my other bikes. My turbo ZX14R, I change the oil every 500-1000 miles as well
Are you in ATL?
No, I’m in Texas but this video was out in Washington state.
Where can I buy the parts to modify the motorcycle
True North Motos carries everything you need including the wiring harness.
JOHN CENA RIDES SUPERMOTOS NOW? DAMN!
🤣🤣🤣
No joke I thought that was John Cena 😅
What a f-ing bike!!!! I just bought a 450 smr would love a parts list of you could email ? I have a few questions!
Hit me up on IG. @boosted_14r
Happen to find a dot front tire?
There are none for the 16.5” rim. Have to change to a 17 and it’s just a sport-bike front tire size then.
@@Boosted_14R ok. I wasnt sure. Seen a few people say they found some wet or rain dot tires for it. Might just buy a new front. Was tryna save $ haha
I totally get it, I couldn’t find any for it without going to 17”. Either outlaw or 17s 😂
@@Boosted_14R i sent you a dm on instagram!
Man that is fucking 👌.
Thank you! Will be posting more videos later this summer.
I need help. i want to put my 2022 ktm 450 smr street legal
The 2022 would be the exact same. Easiest way is to order from True North Motos
I just bought the 2022 smr 450
2 days ago! & I’m also trying to do what he did
Btw great job 👏🏽
@@Boosted_14R hey brother can you please tell us all the parts you’ve bought for yours! Like you said it’s all the same for 2021 & 2022, so we can buy exactly all the part you bought for yours! I will truly appreciate that man 🙏🏼
Wiring harness and switches are True North Motos. Easiest to hit them on Social Media and order. Wheels are Alpina but I had an issue so I’m not doing those anymore. Headlight and taillight are from a 2021 EXC set up and wire directly into True North Moto harness. Turn signals are Yoshimura but any brand can be used. You will need the rear fender to run the tail light but I mounts right up. The front end also has a key ignition which will have to be wired in if you want one but can be run without.
@@Boosted_14R man you don’t know how I appreciate your help brother, thank you so much 🙏🏼
Keep doing videos like this, I’m sure it I’ll help someone else as it helped me 🙏🏼
Have a 22 fs 450 and cannot find a 17” front rim🤦🏽♂️
Gotta take some measurements and find one.
Hi.iam from Greece and I want to buy the new smr street legal
In my country this bike you can use only for race NO for the road.i want license plate!!if you can help me please 🙏
Best bet would be someone to help you in Greece. I don’t know the laws but in some places it is not possible to be legal.
Thank you for the quick answer.its impossible to be done in Greece.
That sucks. There are states in America where it’s also impossible and it’s absolutely crazy they’ll limit what you can do with your own bike.
Might asswel get a 500 tho, less maintanance and street legal straight off the bat
If you liked and wanted an off road bike with no supermoto aspects at all that weighed more, yeah the 500 is much easier
@@Boosted_14R Well for example, I have a exc 125. You just buy new rims, adjust shocks and maybe upgrade the brakes its the same
It’s 100% not the same. There’s a LOT of things that go into a supermoto, not just some rims and adjusting an off road suspension. You’d spend around 5-6k on the low end to make an off road bike comparable.
@@Boosted_14R Wait explain, im curious
A $1500 clutch to start. Rims $2000. Suspension $2500. Brake system including masters $1500. Triple tree $500. The parts to install that all is around another $500 minimum.
ktm and husky 450s are easy to make street legal, cert of origin doesnt say off road only!
Completely agree. A lot of guys askin questions so I made a video to help others
Links for the parts!!! Please
@@mrchat0223 True North Motos supplied me with everything. Check out their website in the description and give Dan a call!
@@Boosted_14R they are far away from me!!! I live in New Jersey
@@mrchat0223 he can ship, it’s a custom bike shop that specializes in KTM parts and builds. They fit a 500R engine in an EXC300 😂 I’ll do a write up tomorrow for what parts to use if needed though
You can 100% make it street legal in Florida and Tennessee...lol
Yup. I’m pretty sure there’s only a few communist states that won’t allow it. Most states it should be ok.
I'm looking at one here in Tn, it looks like some of the stock connectors for lights are there, just doesn't have them.
Do you know about south carolina?
So many reasons to NOT do this, just get a 690smcr
Oh that must be why it has thousands of views, hundreds of comments and dozens of people have hit me up on multiple platforms with questions. Damn, you right, a 250lb SMR is the same as a 450lb 690.
@@Boosted_14R What are you a politician trying to use popular opinion to make an argument? Then you purposely use wrong data in an attempt to use facts to prove your point. You must be a liberal because this is exactly how they operate.
try it in germany or switzerland and you will end up in the jail with this bike xD
That’s sucks. This bike is a blast!
