jeesus boom and ya recon they're a good bike?

not like ktm quality lol... check this out. Before and after pics the dodgy weld up job we did this arvo. My bottom triple clamp. discovered the crack last night and i'm supposed to be taking the bike up to Kuratau tomorrow for my brother to ride... Turns out my bike didn't come off so well after hitting that quad

great bike.

the whole gearbox etc got new bearings and seals due to the clutch basket back plate breaking which appears to be due to the previous owner grinding off the rivets, using a aftermarket basket, then re welding the plate back in place causing weak points. the mains and crank seals were a 'might as well while im there' thing, and the rest is pretty much just wear and tear.

it gets ridden fairly hard so its all to be expected

Well I'm officially able to post crap on this thread: I just changed my own oil, cleaned the air filter, tightened the chain and made my bike all shiney and I did 99% of it myself!!

i welded my top clamp up on my old cr250, it lasted for a while but then eventually cracked again.

oh yeah? how did ya crack it (both times)? the plan is to replace it but it has to come from Austria so will take ages and my bro wants it for the weekend. Looking into other options like aftermarket ones or hopefully a secondhand but unused KTM hard parts CNC machined super strong set

Well' if it lasts after Adam puts it through its paces then it'll be good for a while mate..... no 30 ft stepups tho ...

i over tightened the bolts that clamp the forks and the end broke off, this was at about 2am

the second time was when i had my wipe out on the jump next to te carpark at kimmys. eventually i bought a renthal one for $345.
