An overwhelming response to the KTM Dirt Days that will be touring Australia from later this month has called the European motorcycling manufacturer to respond to public demand and release a few more important tips relevant to the Dirt Days.

In the motocross range highlight motorcycles of the KTM Dirt Days will include the 2011 model 250, 350 and 450 SXF machines, while in the enduro range the 2010 two-stroke and four-stroke models will be amongst the mix, with highlights being the 300 EXC two-stroke and 450 EXC four-stroke.

The purpose of the KTM Dirt Days is to provide riders with the opportunity to demo the entire 2011 motocross range, and 2010 enduro range, with KTM today announcing the following important tips for those looking to participate at their local Dirt Days event:
