Thread: answers please?

my ktm is a 04 640 lc4-e but my mate says its shit compared to the "625" ktm!! but mine is a "625". a 625cc lc4-e !!
but he said they are different? am i bein thick here ? is he rite?.
i will add he rides a drz400 sm so no's his ktms lol thanks!

the 640 is actually 625cc (640 is the model name), i wouldn't go as far as saying it's shite compared to the 625 model, but i'd say the 640 is a better bike the the drz!

does that help?

cool! thanks.

Main difference is the 625 has a flat slide carb so is a bit quicker, not sure past that what other differences there are.
so yeah it is a bit better than the 640.

well mines going up for sale lol!! am after something else

Great add, might buy for £4k!

Send me a signed photo 1st though.

The differences are the 625 has a flat slide carb as mentioned, the SXC race exhaust with no additional mid section silencer, lower gearing, 9L fuel tank and a quick release seat.

Power wise out of the crate the 625 is about 5 BHP up on the 640, feels livelier, weighs a couple of KG less and IMHO looks better with the smaller fuel tank.

A DRZ400 is shit compared with both of them though !!

The smc's have 4 pot front brake callipers to

my 640 has the sxc comp exhaust fitted sounds ok. well thanks for the info...
must admit it aint as much fun as my xr650r i had but it was nuts to ride....

As the 625 and 640 are now both of almost pensionable age - the condition of each bike after a long life may determine its performance today - rather than its original factory spec..
