    Oh cool cheers, just read this and went searching in the dark for it. Mrs Woodman found it and put it in the shed. It even has a bumpstop so it may not have been as hammered as mine which is encouraging.

    The time etc of posts doesn't appear on my KB either.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    put the rebuilt shocky in yesterday arvo and went for a test ride down the appleby river. Seems ok so far, although the bike seems a bit tailhappy on gravel, possibly it has some dampening now.

    Btw Padmei, that manky shock you loaned me is about an inch shorter. Was it off a Tengai?

    And if anyone doubts that a braided front brake line is any good, well doubt no more. Friggen amazing transformation, I almost binned it when pulling up behind a car at the Richmnod roundabout, pulled on the brakes like usual and the front wheel locked up. Almost nasty.
    Happy with my brakes now, may have to change my riding style to incorporate them.

    Yeah, Yeah, Cary fitted a braided line to his XR650R and you can't stop him raving about it!! Braided this braided that! So even tho the 640A has awesome brakes I thought to myself that maybe these braied cables might be the go?? Lo and behold the KTM already has these new fangled cables!! Bonus!! I suppose that's why KTM's are the best??


    Way back in the day when I owned a "sports bike" A VFR1000R I fitted braided lines to that and what a difference they made slowing that 250kg beast down from warp speed.

    Yeah, my 1993 Nordwest has braided lines all around.
    The difference between the TT's 24 year old rubber line and a brand new braided line is pretty marked too

    I use 91, used to use 95 but it was horrible, switched to 91 and it pulls so much better off idle, and stalls less, easier to ride slow etc.

    Mind you since putting the 685 kit in and the compression ratio rising a bit i might give 98 a go next tankful.
