When I letmy clutch outit makes a strange noise
You could have worn down all the friction material on the clutch and what you are hearing is the rivets on the clutch rubbing on the flywheel in the absence of sufficient friction material.
Will not shift into first gear
Sounds like your clutch is out of adjustment, or needs to be bled. Most of the ktm's use a Magura hydraulic clutch which can be bled using Mineral Oil. DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID.

How do you know when to replace friction plates on a 2011 ktm 350 sxf
If you are racing, or riding really hard you may need to check the clutch each season. You can take the friction plates out and measure the thickness, and check this against KTMs recommended limits. If the raised squares on the friction plates are worn off they surely need replacing. Normal trail riding with some moderately hard riding should see the clutch last for many years without needing new plates. The plates might still be OK in 2031! Change the oil as often as recommended in the manual, or as often as you can afford! (General advice only).
Can a cracked 2008 ktm 85 sx be welded?
Yes it can be done, but Ally welding is not something for a novice. Find a local engineering company with a good reputation and they should be able to help.

1. check for an intake leak in front of the carb, like broke carb gromet, carb flange o'ring/gasket leaking, or any broken or leaking vacuum lines. If the bike has been sitting for a while or has had little use, the carb is probably plugged up and needs cleaning.
Lights lose power
New battery and the bike runs fine? Lights will come on intermittently? High and low beam? All lights or just headlight? Check fuse block for problem fuse or wiring. Loose bulb?
Ran out of gas and will not start back up?
Since you drained the tank most probably the dirt which collects in any tank over a period of use would have been used up & thus those dirt went to the carburator. If you have a filter before the carb, clean it BUT MOST IMP clean the jets in the carb, especially the the fuel jet/nipple.
Broken crank shaft for 2002ktm65sx
If you go online and do a search for Motorcycle Salvage yards you may have some luck. They also salvage snowmobiles and boats up here in Michigan.Many of these businesses will ship directly to you which is good considering the teardown needed to remove the crank. Or you may be able to get a shortblock from someone who was in an accident or damaged a head or Insurance recovery. These kind of things wind up in Salvage yards.I believe Craigslist and Ebay also have a portion of their sites where you can request for things you want to buy. That gives you a big audience.I hope my solution is helpful to you.
