Looks like it's working well. Good luck on the jetting. That seems to be a point that is never perfect or at least be the point to fine tune prior to or during an outing.
Good job on the build and thanks for posting so much info!

Where did you get the oversized coolant outlet and plug for the head? I need that same setup.

I machined it. The head needs opened up as well, as it gets pressed in.

Went climbing this weekend. It was the first time riding this particular bike since June.
I was having detonation issues last time out and cut the head to try eliminate the issue (on pump) It may have helped a bit, but by the 3rd hill I was pinging again. I switched to 50/50 94/100LL and it stopped.
My decomp was sticking partially open (from the cable setup) It looks like I need to rethink the routing and attachment.
Jetting was off, rich pilot, lean needle (diameter) made a really rough transition at low throttle openings. The DGN does not work on my bike.
The kicker is killing my foot. 90% of the time I slam the top of my foot into the peg. i machined up a spare spline/pivot to accept the ktm kicker, but w/o the decomp there is no way you are kicking it over. I need to look into s better solution.

will a gen5 450 kicker get past the peg better?

I'll have to do some measuring.

It looks like it should. have people been using them on the 500s?
The ktm fits and clears, but needs more leverage or more pressure bled off.
