I would investigate if its possible to metal spray on the spline area and have the splines recut afterwards.

@Bill ....there is a guy on FB MP that strips and sells KTM dirt bike parts. It may be worth checking him out for a spare swinger. In my experience having parted out a couple of bike, the swinger is often a slow mover as they rarely need replacing. There seem to be quite a few 4 smokes that...

lovely monday morning coffee pic....complete with pussy (on the chair you dirty buggers!)

bit of a hijack but , its friday.... Few years ago we were commissioning a plant that dosed a chemical that stained everything when it leaked (Ferric Chloride). Close to handover to client time, I dispatch one of the team to the local co-op with a sample of somethings stained by this and...

I know this thing as aI have a 950. The OP was posting about a 990 (FI) issue , the manual posted in reply was taken from a 950's manual...hence my confusion.

They have an interesting story as well. Apparently the founder was a ken racing enthusiast and while watching a race where italian bikes were being whipped, he said out loud "I bet I could make a better bike that those" . Somebody took him up on the bet and he promptly made a clas winning bike...

Moto Parilla....never knew about them and one day, I found myself in Asmara Eritrea an ex Italian coloney. There, lying on the street outside a bikeshop (very generous description) lay one. It caught my eye with its intricate engine castings etc. I tried to buy it and bring it back to RSA but...

Stroke her...your story is similar to one I know. On a dual sport tour that I missed out on, mates had holed up in a pub in Mpumalanga having a post ride beer or three. In the mix was Andreas, on his trusty 650 Dakar and at then probably 55yrs old, he was the oldest of the group. A couple of...

Mike, if you read the article linked by Stroke Her, its states that Meoni was tall and asked for the forks to be lowered. Lots of amazing detail on that bike and a design that has endured very well over two decades. Yes, I am biased as I own one but the smile/rand you get from an LC8 Dual...

The bikes are so tall that they start side saddle!

Manic, there is a bike sales shop (whose name escapes me right now) in Rivonia Crossing 2, the same center as Moto-Mate. I'm sure somebody on the foum will name them. They hold a lot of stock, not sure if its on consignment or not but I wiuld give them a tinkle if I were you. If it works out, I...

Remind me of a clip in I think , the Fast, Faster, Fastest Motogp vid series and its VR46 I think driving a car and speaking and he says something along the lines of " Da first time you ridea Motogp Byyke, your mind, you say "Faark""

That is proper impressive hours on the 2013!. Out of curiosity, what type of riding was that ?

I was a maintenance foreman on acid plant, storing Sulphuric, Nitric and HF...the volume of HF was something like 40m3. I cringe thinking back at the things we did in those days. Nasty Nasty sh!t that....nothing to do with living in ye old States but while we meandering down a tangent...
