    7.5k for oils & filters, valves at 15k sounds about right, keep an eye on the water pump.
    If it's been sitting for a while and not serviced I would go for a short 200kms? ride then do all the fluids, oil, coolant, brakes & clutch. Do all the filters at the same time.
    It's a nice looking bike Joe, well done!

    thanks for info Ian
    its just had a fresh service before leaving the shop, had one owner from new, been his work wagon, and basic weekend rides around dunners..

    ive been sent a 45 page service history, not received it yet...
    has had all its recalls done..i guess thats a good thing...

    has been in the shop for 4 months, the chap traded it on a moto 950..
    lets hope it looks as good in front of me as in the pics..

    Heaps of the good oil on KTM 9X0's over here - http://www.ktm950.info/ Owners Manual (not workshop manuals though) but the owners manual is pretty comprehensive.

    Hay boys and girls,
    Just been spending all my earnings on some extra bits for the bike.With the exchange rate if any of you want some new bits for the Ktm now is the time to act. Thats even after paying huge amounts for shipping.
    I mostly buy thru ktmtwins.com . I have been very impressed with them. they did sent me the wrong bits last week, but straight away they put it right. What you want to see when you are so far away.
    What other websites do you guys buy in stuff from oversea's?

    I strapped a 5 litre on the back one day and rode 55km with the fuel warning on before it ran RIGHT OUT. No problem to get going after that.

    Joe's at work on top of the Rimutaka Hill and his bike is due to be delivered to Masterton at 10am.

    So at 9:38 I get this text "Biketranz just went passed the summit"

    I bet he's real excited now.
