Fark me, everyone HAS been on her back...Geez.
Well at least I don't have to give anyone rides on her in the future aye...
Glad you broke her in for me and she is now STILL tight and doing the things she loves....

I wouldn't worry about it - ask Clint how many k's his LC4 has done.

I might have to make sure they all fit correctly and fit them on the bike...
Nothing serious, just chain guard, sprocket cover and a rear rack....Plus, some nice jerry cans (no pun intended) for oil, petrol or Bourbon and coke......

Next to arrive will be my big tank... Looking forward to receiving this, keen to try out my range and see if I can cope with the Monkey Butt for a long day in the saddle...

i think thats the best thing about new rides is setting them up

Well, thanks to KTM and especially Roger's wife for lugging it back from the USA, I am now a proud owner of a large fuel tank..
!8 litres it is meant to hold, but I can comfortably fit in 20 litres. This will give me a nice range anywhere, maybe even 400Km if I try hard......We will see tomorrow.
I also have fitted the Touratech bits and pieces and I am pleased with the result.
The seat took a bit of persuading as the last tank, the 12 litre one was a little different fit. I have just used the standard Twist fastening at the back, which on the normal SXC is on top of the seat, similar to the Husaberg release catch. I have mine underneath, their is another 8mm bolt which is not needed now. The seat should bend down to form nice and snugly once I get my frame on there for any length of time...
Landed into New Zealand for less than $600 including all the Hard parts bits on the bars and a few more.....Price here for the tank, over NZD $1399..... Absolutely frikkin ridiculous....

Nope, traded it on the wee strom. As good as the wee is, I miss the grunt and sound of the SV.

I'm surprised you know so much about KTM's, based on the fact that the only time you've seen one is as it passes you and disappears into the distance...

If you believe everything you read here you will become more disoriented.

If I'd been passed by a KLR, I'd be out practicing, not sitting in front of a computer.
