Looking for some Ottawa area riders (BMW or otherwise)

+1 I've had enough winter, it can end anytime now!

But more importantly, is your bike ready?

How's the "perm and highlights"?

Sadly bike still in pieces. Collecting parts to do some maintenance over the next month. Hopefully have it back together by March.

fuel pump is in!:huh is it bling or just stuff I need?

March? That's practically Summer!

Sadly, I tried to start my DR and it refused to co-operate. Wanted to go for a short January ride.

It's only bling if replacing it is optional. Sorry.

Here ya go




and to help with the seat..


Now...is it june yet?

Did you try mine?

So if i want to continue to stop randumly, its bling then....right?

No need. Video coming soon.

Brrr.

No, I think I'd fix that, fairly quick. You can't have Honda riders making a laughingstock of the mighty 690.

Honda Riding Heathens, I think they're called.

I thought it was a pinched tank vent line not fuel pump.

a lot of thinking about it, a little poking around... pump doesn't sound the same as originally, plus that is the second time it dropped me off for 15min or so... vent line both times ... not likely...

when it died beside you, that was clearly a running out of fuel issue.

there is a full thread on the ktm690 fuel pump... hmmm...

It also isn't good for the pumps to run out of fuel. They tend to overheat and then become more unreliable, I heard.

Well that was short and sweet. (You might want to click the "Annotations" bubble to see what was going through my mind as I was riding.)

And now Winter's back.

that part I have never ran it out of fuel... when it died it had 400km of fuel in the bike.. it seemed like it ran out of fuel.

Its a ktm, they eat fuel pumps. Speaking of ktm consumables.....its time for your bike to have a new waterpump kit applied

Mike ride down to the pig,I'll buy ya a coffee.

It'll take a lot more than the promise of a coffee to get me to ride anywhere, let alone the Pig, Tim. But thanks for the offer.

Kids, if you've already seen the video, watch it again with the annotations turned on (hover over the bottom of the screen and the little thought bubble shows up. Click on it!)
