Seems the going rate in the US is around $111 now, and $133 on the CDN side of the border.

That warm and fuzzy feeling

Mine was very tight with no play. But it just gives you that feeling when rolling down the road. This is what you want to see.

I also removed the ball bearing original equipment several years ago. It was in prema shape, no problems but I did the up grade.

I kept the original here for any KTM rider needing said bearing on the CDT or traveling

I have changed many bearing in the past as normal procedure and this original bearing was the first ever EVER that I have seen that was manufactured in South Africa.

ciao,gale

My carb is leaking some fuel I am about 95% sure that it's because the tapered screw for the drain on the bowl is very slightly buggerd up... no problem get a new screw right?... well I'm having some issues finding the part. My local parts dealer said he can't get it and I can't find it on the sites that I normally buy parts from.

I had him look up the same screw for a DR-650 because they both have a BST-40 but the bowl on the DR-650 is different and I didn't want to get stuck with a $5 dollar screw I don't need ...

It also leaks a small amount around the fuel air mixture screw... any suggestions on how to fix this? New O-ring I'm guessing? It has an after market FA screw in it that the PO installed and it was not an issue before.

Thanks in advance for the awesome replies I normally get

Derek at Motolab is your man. I don't have a link handy, but you could search this thread, search vendors, or hope that he chimes in here. Or go to moto-lab.com, but I don't think he lists the parts that he sells there.

Thank you very much!

I figured that screw would be the only reason it's leaking there...

found it

I dunno... He's got a wierd look on his face and that tool is aimed at the Reindeer's arse.

The other deer are looking on like voyeur's and if I were that KTM deer I'd be nervous.

The next thing he'll say is "On Dasher! "
