    Scott steering damper install

    I just finished installing a Scott steering damper and triple clamp on my bike. The instructions were quite clear about securing the forks with tie downs/ropes to something above the bike so that they don't come off the bike once you undo the steering stem nut. Despite my best efforts, it did...

    Shoei DS helmet

    Cool, I made the right choice then, just walked out a shop here in Hong Kong with a Shoei. Plain colored ones are 3100 HK dollar and graphics ones are 3600 HK dollar. 1HK dollar = 1 Rand, give or take👍

    "Breaking-in" a new 990

    Mmm...ja, 4000 rpm gives me about 110kmh. The first 1000 is going to be torture ;D But what about the exhaust issue, is it really better for the bike to do the first 1000 on the standard pipes (damn hot they are :o)

    "Breaking-in" a new 990

    So is there any consensus about the best/correct procedure to do the first 1000 kays? KTM recommends no more than 6500 rpm, local KTM mechanic says keep it at 4000 rpm... Also, they (the dealer) here recommend to do the first 1000 kays with the factory zorsts before throwing the Akros on...
