This is getting ridiculous ....... relying on technology to overcome their inability to ride well. Or blaming technology for their inability to ride well.

Dunno .................. maybe Bradl had one :ROFLMAO:

Yep, I agree ........... I don't remember Stoner getting hounded by someone on the previous year's bike.

Same friend?

The cheaper the bike .......................... the better the adventure.

Plenty bikes here in the UK ............. at least, where I live. All shapes and sizes but mainly tourers. But, yes, it's an effort to get a license and there's no off-road riding like back home. I see it more as an attack on anything dangerous, not just bikes. What chance do bikes have where...

Been through the petrol tank lock drama years ago - my advice would be to open that lock and remove the fingers.

Late model 950 or late model 990 Which 990 had the front fork issue, leaking at the axle hole? Thats a kak one. TPS,throttle bodies seems like a rabbit hole problem. Fuel pump, teabag issue. Both have shitty battery and cable issues, 950 may be worse coz of age. Actually, the issues are many...

That was my exact KLR when I first got it ...........................that same reliable bike blew a hole in an intake valve, in the arse-end of the Transkei. Snapped a sub-frame and lost power to the starting circuit on day 1 of the Amageza. 950 did the same sort of thing in the past...

Yet another waste of my thread opening skills ....................................... :unsure:

Touch the rod all round the race .......................... it'll fall out ....... well, mine did .............. fell out before I could weld anything to it. Easiest race I've ever removed.

I'm not betting against anyone who'd cut off his own ball ............. I'm too scared to win

Can't ride a Suzuki with one nut ..................

Ah, OK, that makes sense. I'll have a close look one day and see that in motion. I don't have a problem with pre-load but handy to know about how to add oil. I had the shock out recently to replace bushings, I should have looked then. In my head I'm toying with lowering the bike. I already have...

Out of interest .................... How does pre-load adjustment work on a 950/990? What is adjusted when the knob is turned, it seems gas related? I'm assuming there is some sort of air spring inside the shock and not just damping. Or is it adjusting oil levels?

Hmm, never thought of that. I can confirm the S seat gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. I use an Airhawk for long tar riding. Maybe a standard seat will do me better.

That ..... with the KTM blue/orange theme 😍

I'll check the 650, it's virtually the same height. There aren't any 450s around. No demos even. Looks like SA is ahead of the game, compared to the UK. First bikes due here next year April.

Pink is always 'in' ........................

All I've left of my PE is the little 12 spanner that fitted on the front.
