What Did You Do To Your KTM Today? - Page 218

gaspipe · 08-06-2011, 09:58 PM

On my '06 Super Enduro: New tires (606 front, 908 rear), repacked the wheel, steering head and swingarm bearings, cleaned the carbs (ethanol sux), new main & pilot jets, new air filter, changed oil & oil filter, reinstalled my aux rear tank, and bled brakes & clutch hydraulics.

Anyone noticed how friggin' expensive Loctite is these days? WTF?

My three year old $150 Odyssey PC310 is flatter than hammered shit. No bringing this one back.

I'm done with those things. Time for cheap Chineee battery again. $60, and often.

I'm going somewhere soonest. And fast. Maybe so a ride report when I get back from wherever I'm going?

maybe you don´t know this solution yet? that´s what your looking for...

Tore it down to replace my exhaust gasket- I had it break on a trip and blew my hpipe gasket out. it went down the pipe and wore part off on the swing arm. So I smoked a cigar then burrowed some foil from other campers at the site and made a filler piece. Lasted almost 1000miles.

Then I took a look at the swingarm wear i had been reading about. my bike has almost 11k on it now and this is the wear-

1Bonehead · 08-07-2011, 11:00 AM
