One of my buddies picked up a 495 recently, got it running after years of storage, and then grenaded the top end. I should get some pics of the piston and jug...it's an epic failure! Anyway, what are the best sources for 495 pistons, jugs and/or liners, rod and bearings, etc?

Jeff,
First I would contact Speedy. If he cannot assist then try ANDRE HORVATH'S KTM Klassiker 1953 - 1992 //www.enduroklassiker.at
There is another individual that is having pistons made by Wossner in Germany with a 92.50 bore size. I do not have his contact information, but I'll get it soon.

Jeff- send a note to Steve "Flash" Ling of Sunrise KTM, Colorado.
[email protected] He's let his website go, but he's the major inside line for all things KTM 495 in the U.S. Usually stocks main parts from Andre of Austria. Has a healthy supply of new and used parts, and will keep a 495 going guaranteed--has never let me down.
