Nice video B-rod!

I am going to guess that the camera you used was a Hero GO-Pro with the wide angle lens? Very nice quality stuff.

Just another quick question.

If I was to pick up a used supertrapp stock exhaust for my 2001 Adventure, is it also a spark arrestor?

Not going to spend the extra coin if it's not an SA. I need one for the MT1000 this coming July.

Okay 2 quick questions. Where is the guy that showed pictures of an FMF SA insert that he bought off on an XBXD or something like that on here?

TIA

There's little action because there is still piles and piles of snow where I really want to ride. This is the flat, bald-ass prairies just outside of where I live. Boring riding, but still riding. I just wanted to try out the camera and iMovie. Test #1.

Nope, VHoldR ContourHD. The mic is terrible, unless you were hoping to pick up hurricane wind sounds. I'll probably cut the mic out, and get a lapel mic and stick it to the back of the housing. What I liked about this camera over the GoPro is that it doesn't sit 6" on top of my helmet. Nice and discrete on the side.

The stock Supertrapp is stamped USFS, as the disc stack must meet the requirements for size, but it does not have the screen type. I am the guy with the Akrapovic that installed the FMF spark arrestor, and it's working very well. It is marginally louder than the Akra with the insert in, but I did my part for the USFS, and I'll lay off the gas when I need to.

Hi guys, I need a good condition fly wheel and stator for a 2003 Adventure ( the silver one) any Ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Brand new at great prices? http://www.partshark.com/fiche_sect...ory=MOTORCYCLES&make=KTM&year=2005&fveh=10904

Just a little less than I just got my stator and flywheel for my sxc from Matto's in Pa.. they do the ktmtalk discount like a few of the dealers.. That parts shark is just a little cheaper.. I'll check there on stuff I have to wait for..

Partshark is less than half the price us Aussies pay over here! Of the Boltons web site, those two parts are Flywheel $479.00 and Stator $340.85.

Thank u again Chris Barnes, the guards fit well and look very cool!

Cheers

headlight questions:
1. do I need to disconnect the headlights if I am using a battery tender?
2. Can anyone recommend a better, bright set of bulbs...


thanks

My opinions in quote

Looking to convert my 640 to a high fender....
Does anyone know or direct me to a list of parts and info on the conversion instead of spending the TT money.
I have the list for my 950 and I'm sure theres one for a 640 as well

Thanks
for the help

Ryan

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

After you do that, and if still not happy, try Osram bulbs via online order, these guys are pretty good rallylights.com or Silvania Silverstars from your local auto store. I run them in my Duc and my pickup and they have been great. Or for even better results, do the Dirty Sanchez!

Hi all,
So I was putting the bike back together after replacing the slave cylinder piston and O ring and of course an oil change and the screw that holds the neutral switch wire snapped off (I swear I didn't over torque it ).

Has anyone else done this? It looks like I can back out the hex that it mounts in and replace the whole shebang? Is this the way to go? Anyone got part numbers? Thanks for any help.

Gerst,

So when I got my bike a bit ago, I noticed the sidestand was loose and rubbing on the swingarm. I tightened it up and it still just barely cleared.


Here's the damage, after I removed the burrs with a fine file!

The lower hole shows signs of being loose for sometime now!


So I got it off, and got to it with the file. Now it looks like this!


And now it fits like this!


I still need to pull the bolts and add some Loctite to avoid similar future issues.

On the good side, I found a decent paint match to at least the SW-Motech powdercoat maybe even the KTM powder. Its Duplicolor's High Performance Wheel Coating in graphite (#WP102)

I, uh, broke my shift shaft....do I have to split the case to replace it? Or can I get to it from the right side somehow?
I am trying not to freak out right now..........
thanks in advance

WOW! That's a clean "used" 640 :eek1


Here's mine. Been putting it through the paces ever since I got it new. Same shot kinda. 10,000 fairly hard miles. Love my bike! Gone through 2 sets of the stock Saharas and probably 6 knobbies or so.


Enjoy!

yes you do, did it to mine
if you have a good welder guy and have enough left get a steel shifter and weld it on, my lasted all summer then l stripped it
how many miles ? may want to do some other things when its open

good luck, its not a bad job

its an '02 and has 22,000+ on it. unfortunately there is not enough shaft left to weld the shift lever on to. I was hoping i could just remove the clutch cover to get at it...
what else should I do since its going to be opened up?

thanks for the info

Spring is definitely coming: the snow level is nowhere near as high as it was last week!

Cheers,

Tseta

the gurus might have a better list but l would guess

just in case
water pump seal
roller bearing the follower ( small one)

check
look at the valves, piston and rings, crank, rod and bearings

l would read a lot in the 640 index and see what else comes up, it all depends on how its been ridden and taken care

mine was at 24000 and l did intake valves piston/rings and a new sleeve
