    TE610 carb assistance required

    For what its worth, its almost certainly going to be too high a float level rather than the needle or seat

    Clutch cable roadside repair?

    Haak neutral voor jy stop. Behoort maklik te wees, my 1150 het n neutral tussen meeste ratte gehad🤣

    Clutch cable roadside repair?

    Centrestand, neutral, haak 2de, rock hom van die stand af terwyl jy op hom is, is maklikste

    Clutch cable roadside repair?

    Nie n grap nie. Daai Riaan van Niekerk klong wat KTM in die Dakar gery het, het my jammer gekry en verduidelik wat om te doen. n 690 met extra tenks wat vol sous is met n nav toring, weeg seker 220kg. Dis nie dieselfde as n plastic in diep sand nie, veral nie vir n hele dag nie. Dan het @Kamanya...

    Clutch cable roadside repair?

    I like to preload the lever and then, as you chop the throttle, it slips right in. On my 1st or 2nd Amageza - think 2nd, but as my skills remained suspect until the very last 1, it doesn’t really matter - I was on a rally raid set-up 690, a heavy thing with crap suspension in the beginning. We...

    Jou nuwe clutch kabel gaan jou oorleef🤣 Ek moet eerlik wees, ek gebruik nie n clutch op of af bo 2de rat nie

    Clutch cable roadside repair?

    Mens koop DIY noodgeval kabel kits in so plat blikkie wat onder jou seat pas. Het al n ou s’n gebruik om vir hom n clutch kabel te maak. Vat so 15min. Dis half prys op Temu...

    KTM’s parent group is insolvent.

    While I was practising for one of the Amagezas, I did the Willowmore/Baviaans/Patensie/ cross the mountain/Steytlerville/ Willowmore loop twice on a 690. My boet’s laaitie did it on a 250 Big Boy. I’ll go far before I talk rubbish about a Big Boy🤣

    Multipoint vs direct injection - new Suzuki Swift 1.2 engine

    To be fair, it may have a positive impact on drivability, likely to have better throttle response and pick-up, but the benefits to valve longlevity is substantial and likely measurable

    Multipoint vs direct injection - new Suzuki Swift 1.2 engine

    So will likely have the direct injection as well as the plenum injection. Its not a performance thing

    Multipoint vs direct injection - new Suzuki Swift 1.2 engine

    Multipoint was brought in by numerous manufacturers to counter carbon build-up on intake valves caused by direct injection. Its just an additional injector or injectors in the intake plenum to wash the intakes

    Advise pls...Bloem Airport...Car Pickup

    It cost quite a lot for parking. You will have to leave him the parking ticket stub as well, otherwise he will have to pay missing ticket costs

    Solo picking up weight?

    Die plaaslike BMW dealership het toegemaak, so ek het nou al n paar 1200s wat ek diens. Nog nie een getoetsry na die tyd nie. My laaste verskoning was nierstene🤣

    KTM Durban - Contractual Termination

    Don’t know how it happened, but I believe that I am. I think Sean at Fast did it for me about 10 years ago. I order spares daily from 2 dealerships, never a problem. But I’ve tried having somebody that owns an aftermarked shop pick up KTM parts for me and it went pear shaped, so there is...

    Solo picking up weight?

    @2StrokeDan will be around shortly to say that only girls should ride them. And right he will be

    Solo picking up weight?

    Boxer BMWs are easier to pick up than 800 and 1190s as the jugs keep them semi upright. Even girls pick them up with the right technique

    Help identify this model of 1200 plz

    I had to order from Motohut, could not find in Upington. Its no different, other than the dirt will fall out

    Suspected coolant temperature sensor fault 1250GSA

    Sensor errors are normally picked up as an issue by the CPU. Or BSMK or whatever and should trigger a check engine light. That looks like normal thermostat action. How difficult is it to access the thermostat?

    Top End Rebuild: Yay or Nay

    As jy nie jetting verander van Gauteng na die Kaap toe nie, sal hy lean wees, nie ryk nie. Maklik om te toets: haal die air filter uit en vat hom vir n spin. As hy beter is, te ryk op main. Meer waarskynlik die enjin se vent pyp: kyk of hy oop is. Perdebye maak nes in hulle
