KTM 640 Adventure owners, sign in please...

Heya PASSMORE,

Why not throw in you race core I shipped up with MotoMike?

Make sure you put a nice coat of bedliner on it first. oser

OK, OK, OK... Transalper... YOu drive a very hard bargain I will goahead and throw in the race core AND I will coat the ENTIRE system in KTM ornage bedliner

Whatta deal, what could be better ?

You guys are insane. Is there something in that bedliner paint you guys are sniffing or do all Adventure owners eventually learn your secret codes, insider jokes, and special handshakes?

Special handshake?? I thought it was a special wink!

It's a reach-around.

No reacharound required...

Oh thank god... I was really NOT looking forward to the next Lodge Meeting...

Ahh??? so what's the ahem,(fcr) one look like??

Perfect !! I'll make sure I embroider that on your seat,,, with matching decals to go with it

Great...I get the first Renazco Special Edition Finger Seat

Maybe it'll be collectible.

Schwing!!! jump on it kiddies!

Awhile ago somebody posted a link to an online source for adhesive backed cork that was made for motorcycle skid plates - said to keep the mud from accumulating (and deaden the sound). Anyone?

Meat,

Can't help you with the link, but I followed Creeper's lead (I think), and bought some closed cell foam (3/8" but I wanted a little thicker). It was like $2.00 for a linear foot, which is a lot of material for the $. I cut it into a few different strips to fit on the plate, and used 3M Spray Adhesive to mount it.

Can't say I notice a huge difference noise/vibration wise, but what the hell. Maybe I'll put some more on next time I pull the plate.

You can get the closed cell foam at fabric stores, at least around here.

You want the closed cell foam, because it won't absorb and hold water like a sponge the way regular foam will.

How about foam in the can?? Cover what you don't want foamed as you spray.

James, I thought about that idea, but I was worried that it might inadvertently prevent the engine from shedding heat. IMO, the LC4 (at least mine) runs a bit hot as it is.

I was actually thinking the opposite, that the closed cell would retain heat.
Screw it! I think I'll stick to a screwdriver and a water hose for cleaning.
