    Roadside assistance and repairs - observations and power dynamics

    I carry a little folding Uni-T autorange volt/ohm meter. That has helped more than anything

    Goeie keuse vintage adventure bike om te herbou vir toer.

    Cagiva Elefant 750LE. Lyk goed selfs wanneer sy stukkend is.

    Wanted Keihin #38 pilot jet

    Can the needle be adjusted? Or shimmed up with a thin washer? Sounds like too much needle

    KTM wins the Baja 1000, sky to fall on our heads

    Ek is n fan en het troppe gehad en het nog my 450X rally bike. Ek dink net nie daar is n punt om n nuwe enige iets ander as n KTM te koop nie - praat nou van race bikes. Mens kan meeste KTM parte in SA kry, omtrent niks Honda nie.

    KTM wins the Baja 1000, sky to fall on our heads

    Die Amageza dae se CRF450X bikes - soos my 2011 - het 5 ratte, maar die rede is dat die engin en ratkas gesplit is met hulle eie olie etc, wat natuurlik ongelooflik voordelig is. So die verpakking sal nie moontlik wees met 6 ratte nie. Myne kan 168 op n GPS loop, maar liaison is maar n 115km/h...

    KTM wins the Baja 1000, sky to fall on our heads

    Ek het sopas n barrel en piston kit opgetel, sal kyk of daar n verskil is, maar ek dink die selfde ring word in die oversized piston kit oor gebruik. So die standaard ring moet maar altyd gegrind word

    KTM wins the Baja 1000, sky to fall on our heads

    Ek het al n 23 cam ook vervang. Maar dit lyk of die compression ring oversize is en nie gegrind word nie. Die skrapnel maak die oliepomp dood, so dis n olie supply issue Std clutch maar vol Kibble White valve kit. Std intakes dink ek nie sal 300km doen nie🤣

    KTM wins the Baja 1000, sky to fall on our heads

    Daar is seker n rede hoekom ek jare lank n 450X in die Amageza rallies, die West Coast Baja en Tankwa rally gerace het terwyl ek n KTM werkswinkel het. Nog nooit cam issues gesien op n 450X nie. Maar ek wag nou al my 9de week vir n cam vir n 2024 KTM 450

    OBD reader

    You can buy the white and red (euro) connectors on Takealot, a bluetooth OBD is about R240 on Takealot. Since most guys ride with friends, just get both connectors

    Clarke tank cap

    I have a couple spare caps that I have in my race box. One might fit. I will need a opening dimension and a measurement of thread width to see if I have a match

    Wings blow out

    Same thing happened to me on a 690. Amageza marathon stage. Simply means that the packing blew out and was not replaced and then the titanium overheated. Was user error in my case

    where to have my 2009 model sent for a decat ?

    Simple decat does nothing for performance, for that you need a y-pipe. But your feet won’t feel as hot and your oil might last longer. Any exhaust place with a CO2 welder can do it. I did it myself with an air hammer. Took a long time…

    Engine no and frame number match

    I had a R50/2 with matching numbers. Until I tried to introduce it to eNatis. The engine number was the same as a stolen Isuzu’s engine. After that I had 2 engine numbers🤣

    700 Transalp engine noise

    Not sure what style of cam chain tensioner the 700 uses, but that sounds like a rattling cam chain. Honda tensioners are normally rather reliable though

    KLE500 Clutch...Phok ek soek raad

    As alles saam draai is 139Nm nie n probleem nie. Gebruik n impact wrench. Meeste battery modelle maak vandag meer. n Ingco doen 500Nm
