Suppose any oil is better than none.

Poked around a couple shops today, found this Pirelli M60R which is a 60/40 on/offroad tyre in the SMT specific tyre sizes (180/55/17 &  120/70/17) Suppose will try it some day soon. Anyone with experience taking the smt offroad?

If you go on the search for reviews on the SMT's offroad abilities you find really positive feedback. Tyres in my book would surely make the biggest difference, so I'm wondering am I just considering using the wrong bike to go offroad (nothing serious, intermediate at most) or is there any other...

Mixed business and pleasure today,  :ricky: true SUV :lol8:

Spot on advise Manic, Thx. I have one other big problem, hope anyone can help? Not sure it is only 990 related. It seems to induce a fever in its owner erasing all perspective and balance, and the ability to hit the off switch.. .... farkitt!!! Why do ktm drivers keep secrets to themselves??

Disconnected the battery over night as suggested (was concerned that the 15 min idle with the akro's would wake the neighborhood :)), when reconnected this morning started first touch of the starter and every start again thereafter...... Amazing bike, very well looked after (thx Stu for taking...

Will do. Hold thumbs. What tickles me is that this afternoon I started it first time every time and drove short distances probably 6-8 times. Left it till late afternoon and nada start. Will post if disconnect made difference  :thumleft:

Gave the battery a good charge, cranks but not firing up still.  Eventually after playing with the throttle (like a carb model) it comes to life, haven't had time to give it a good run though, will try in the morning and hopefully it makes a difference. Other than that (which I am sure will be...

Hey Stu. Sure you'll find the one that'll give you what you looking for, in the meantime I will keep the tractor alive and kicking showing it our beautiful Cape, Karoo and Namaqualand(my home country) .  Can't wait, including tonight 4 nights left. Hope it flies. Will post a pic once it landed here.

Thx all. For sure does it drive me crazy, these last 5 days might feel like another 12 years but. hey, light in the tunnel. A good friend invited me to test his SMT, and yes, a beast compared to many I suppose. I must say I love everything about it but will sure treat her with the required...

It is now 12 years later after selling my GS 650, my softness never said yes again. Always thought about forgiveness rather than permission, but honestly never had the guts. This easter holiday I tried again for the umpteenth time not expecting a yes, I got it nogal even on condition that I buy...

Sprocketbek, as jy praat van max pleasure, watse bike is dit. As die KTM 990 SMT onder hulle val, dan kom dit nou. Keuse gemaak, nou moet hy net huistoe kom. 

Thx, will consider :lol8:

:peepwall: :laughing4: Now to get it home..... :ricky:

Comfort taken in the engines. On the older 1200 GS's, (04/05) on what mileage should you consider doing the drive shaft and gears? What does it set you back to have it done? Tryiing to decide wheter to buy older or break the bank for new. Wont do much km a year, just an excuse to not dirty the...

Sure it depends on a lot of factors, not playing devils advocate, what would you guys estimate the 1200 BMW and 990 KTM engines should do before going pap if fair maintenance was done?

;) jy het nbaie mooi gs daar, sterkte met jou heup.
