    Slime and sealant

    I use a product called Fugit it is local manufactured , I use it on my 1190 front tubeless and it does not effect my TPMs in that wheel. I have now done over 5000km with it in and no problems from a leaking rim that would loose 2,5 bar over night.

    KTM 1390 “Auto” (AMT) at Erzberg

    the 1190 R is also one of the last great bikes from KTM , I am/was a ktm fan boy but I also think due to KTM not acknowledging and rectifying problem on their bike both KTM and Husky, I will be possibly looking at a BMW 900

    Must we keep this forum d/s orientated?

    I would keep it open to everyone, how ever I think that you should only be able to post on the for sale section , once you have had at least 20 normal post, this will stop all the people that join to sell their rubbish, and then disappear. once you have creditability on the forum then you can...
