Agreed kak decision for some reason, perhaps tired, too long on the bike without a break, or not riding his own ride and trying to keep up with his buddies. Scary how quickly it happened. Sad though, never good to see - RIP.

Sorry LH mouse button 🤦‍♂️

I plan the route on Basecamp and then convert to a trip and upload the trip to the device. Also, I have turned off Automatic Route Recalculation on the device so that the trip is not does not get changed once it's active. When creating a route I simply create the initial route from start point...

Maybe limited to the parallel twins :unsure:

Do you know if other models like the 1290/1390 and even the 390 share the same lubrication design? As far as I know the other models don’t have a history of cam wear, at least not that’s being reported in such numbers. Question is what CF Moto used in the 450MT as this is also a KTM derived...

Ag jirre - I wish KTM would just sort their kak out :mad: Hopefully its still under warranty 🙏 Let us know what the outcome is please.

Something to be aware of - only the 900 GS is the new frame, the 'new' 800 and 900 GS ADV actually make use of the old 850 frame. They therefor don't share the weight loss of the standard 900 GS and are as heavy as before.

Eish I wish I hadn't seen this :ROFLMAO: GLWTS

1200LC & 1250 all models. Service Bulletin 337390.

Le-Roy @ LB Motorcycles in Cowley, near Petervale. zero ate too 574 0315 Ex BMW mech - now works for himself from home. I have used him for minor repairs, etc and one of the nicest guys to deal with.

Gemini says: The BMW F 900 GS has a 14.5 liter fuel tank and is claimed to achieve 4.4 liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km) fuel consumption based on the WMTC (World Motorcycle Test Cycle) which is a standardized laboratory test to measure fuel economy. This translates to a theoretical maximum...

You misunderstand, I was referring to the people one encounters. The rural people are more chilled and quiet helpful I have found. Closer to cities the sentiment is far less easy going.

You are dealing with a different mindset than what we encounter locally.

Yip this is often overlooked and is why I will never buy a bike with tubed tyres. Complete deal breaker. In a big group it may be a different story but riding alone and being stuck next to the with flat needing repair leaves one vulnerable to whoever passes by.

I think you have answered your own question and my feeling is that it is okay to feel the way you do about it. Postpone riding until you feel ready for it and if that day never comes that's also okay. I will let others that have had personal experience of what you have been through provide a...

Ja it's something I also noticed when I was having a look at our local BMW spazza shop. Also, they have increased the rake by 0.5 deg on the forks, from 25.7 to 26.2 deg.

Agreed - it was my first crack at these challenges and it’s quite apparent that they will take some practice to master 🏍

:coffee: sub Thanks for taking the time to share (y) I must say both @Kokdjembe and myself have separately done Mikes training at Boulders Academy were we had a chance to try out some of the circus tricks you refer to. Mike has them laid out for as he offers Trophy prep training as one of...

I may go this route - will have to wait and see what we get when its announced. Putting geldjies away in the meantime...

From what I can tell the new KTM 390 will be released later this year. There have been a number of spy-shots published of final testing so I don't think it is too far away.
