The new 2020.5 KTM Factory Edition and Husqvarna Rockstar Edition come with updated SKF seals in the linkage for less friction and actually do make a little difference on the track. With the updated linkage seals the rear of these new 2020.5 bikes feel freer and give less harshness to the back of the bike on square edge acceleration bumps. The action of the shock feels smoother over bumps and when I rode a standard 2020 KTM back to back with the 2020.5 KTM, I experienced more of a forgiving feel, on throttle, over bumps, almost immediately. I didn’t notice a huge difference between the old seals and the new SKF seals on de-cel as most of the benefit was on throttle sensation only.
If you’re not in the market for a new Husqvarna or KTM 450, but still want to upgrade your linkage on your older white or orange machine, we thought why not give you the part numbers to make it easier for you to order.
