KTM LC4 (640) Thread Index

Just goin' down the list Meat... this thing is getting pretty comprehensive. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few KTM/LC4 techs that have used it for reference... nor would I be surprised if someone from the KTM service department has taken a look or two.
Information from the field is always useful to a manufacturer.

C

but there's still no info on my damned steering head bearings.... c'mon .... aftermarket #? huh? huh?

If you'd a took better care of them... you wouldn't need to replace 'em.

What... you don't like $100 US for two Timken bearings? oser

Thanks for the feedback creeper, it needs some housecleaning, organization, and a few things added (and maybe some silly stuff removed) but it is getting big... :eek1 Thanks to everyone for their assistance (and continued help).

My only complaint about the whole thing is (I didn't figure) that by putting this index up I eliminated many of the simple link queries, which eliminated many chances at the usual inane banter among us Maybe I should yank the thing down so we can get back to it?

your friendly thumper asylum librarian

Numero 81
Item #: 54201081000
TAPERED ROLLER BEARING CPL.
Quanity On Diagram: 2
Cost Each: $49.42

Why aftermarket???

'Cause an quality aftermarket tapered bearing substitute would prolly run less than $20 a pop.

Any chance to beat corporate KTM's outrageous markups so shouldn't it just be a case of measuring up said bearings and calling one's local bearing suppliers for a "compatible"?

and probably be better quality also.

you're almost as sharp as the loaded one... hey that's me! done that already. skf doode will be calling me monday with my quarter price better quality bearings.

i may get aftermarket seals too as well also, but the oem ones is cheap so....

Aahh... the all important bearings, where would we be without them...... from factories that the allies were intent on bombing in WWII. Now where's my Zimmer frame..

Hey Meat, you may want to add this link to micapeak

KTM LC4 "Registry" - what is it and why would we want to register?

Wasn't suggesting that people register! Just another source of LC4 user data that may be of use to a few people.. Your call!

OK, I'll dig around in it a bit.

help?

Part Deux?

I have a request into Arch for either an override on the 20K character limit, or possibly insert a second meaty post directly beneath the first for Part Deux!

Got your PM, Meat. I can't find a way around the 20k per post limit, but have asked in the mod forum for idears. Gimme some time, I'm on it...

Here's a round-a-bout solution:

Sticky just a link to the index as a separate web page (hosted where? here?), which in turn takes you to the linked thread

As a separate page, no character limitation and all the benefits of HTML. Easier to use, searchable, page links....

Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all??? Meat, you know how to write HTML right? You up for something like this?
