TONECOLD Posted April 8, 2010 So Im looking to pull the trigger on a 05 525 exc. Im not too familiar with them but want a plated bike and have heard nothing but good things. What should I look for? Any signs that I should look for that its been ridden too hard other then the obvious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktm113mcp Posted April 8, 2010 I have a 2006 450 EXC, basically the same bike just different cc's. I have been extremely pleased with mine, no problems I havn't caused. Nothing really to look for, I only ride mine in the woods, they have a little tendancy to overheat but you probably wouldn't notice it without being in a real tight place.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike in Fresno Posted April 9, 2010 the 05s had a starter gear problem, see if its been fixed yet. It probly isnt legally plated in CA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
