A hidden kill switch / immobiliser
Seat vinyl re-done
New stand
Engine/carbs etc:
New water pump seals & orings
Oil change / filters
Radiator flush
Air filter cleaned and re-oiled
Carb cleaned out and tuned
Other shit:
Brakes bled - pads OK
Fit horn
Suspension setup
Shorten chain
Clean out petrol tank
New brake and clutch levers
And a damn good clean...!
Being a shrewd business student I managed to get all parts including wheels for $1232 and have done a fair amount of the mechanics myself and used my awesome mechanic mate for the rest. I'm hoping labour charges will be around the $300 mark.
So, another couple of days and a WOF and maybe, just maybe... she'll be on the road this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will take some photos tomorrow and chuck them up.
Sweet![]()
Welcome back Isaac. Will be looking forward to seeing the KTM in action
Don't just live to ride but ride to live.
Awesome mate, can't wait for some pics!
"I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."
Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
and some vids of wheelies and stoppies![]()
