I opended up one of my FMF pipes today and had a look at the packing. It was burnt right through about 2/3's along the pipe with a hole in the packing bug enough to put a fist through.

I've got some new packing on the way.

pulled both fuel tanks off after work yesterday to give bike a good clean... and reapir some paint wear marks on the frame with my airbrush. I found some nasty wear marks on the inside of the tanks, worn through the paint and started to wear on the plastic

, from rubbing on the bike frame.....
so guess i better sort that out before it wears a hole in the tank.......................

Mate the real reason is because you couldn't handle the speed the acceleration the passion the comradery etc etc

I think you put the wrong gear in your speedo drive to make you think you were going quick

**junkmanjoe** · 10th October 2010, 12:21

dino mate...........

its the care and attention..knowing when your machine needs to be cared for....
hear the machine talk to you...feel the machine.....become one with the beast in side her beating V twin................

KTM ride the dream....
the road never ends, it just becomes more exciting..

but yea,, a bit of sticky side foam tape between the frame and the tanks that should keep things happy for a while

time to up set the cops

with a blat around the streets ......... baffles out.....

yes sir............

..........insert dollars regularly.
KTM's are like yachts.
May as well stand in the shower, and throw thousands of $$$$$$ down the drain.

Last xrl service cost:
1x sparkplug
1x oil filter
Bit of engine oil.
Bit of general grease n air filter oil.
Bout $30 all up.
Labour-free, cause I know this oarsome mechanicccccc
