As I said Phil, check with your local KTM dealer first, most parts are sensible prices and it's not worth messing about.

I got a bolt kit for KTMs and it came with all the silly little bolts you loose or need to replace occasionally, including the sprocket bolts n nuts.
Check your rear sprocket bolts regularly as they can come loose and bugger the hub.

Oh, and mine does around 60mpg including trails but if I'm with my mates and get pushing on it can drop to low 40s.

I run 14:48 but I'm thinking of fitting a 50 on the back as I don't hit top gear much on the road, got to be doing 55+ before top becomes usable so maybe a tad over geared :)
