OMG! Wot have I done!

[scumdog]

there's a guy down here with the same model as yours Tim & he's having the same issues as you, he's had the bike for 10 months & it's been back in the shop 5 times, I suggested he asked for his $$$ back & buy some thing else

Fark, and some pull my leg about "Harley reliability"!!

ANY bike make can give you problems - but these Teutonic Troubles iones seem pretty bad.

Seems it may have had an airlock in the system from the repair work done to fix the oil leak from the water pump oil seal Picking it up tomorrow. Anybody want a hardly used G650GS? I really liked my KTM. The Transalp was awesome but the KTM was my favourite by a big margin and the Queen of the Hobbits liked it better on the back of that than the Transalp. Pity it was so tall, even when lowered. After the KTM, the frumpy German fraulein really didn't have a chance. I see Casbolts have a Transalp just like my old one in immaculate condition. Hmmmmm...

& getting another Transalp would seem a bit like going back to an old girlfriend I actually thought the KTM looked the dogs bollocks. Nice light bike, very predictable and stable, very responsive, fantastic suspension, great brakes, great riding position. The way I had it set up it was pretty much my view of the ideal adventure bike

now why would I buy a guzzi when I got the Rena (crashers on the rocks & capsizes) but it still gets me home after 140k

LOL, true bout the girlfriend... can ya remember back that far?
And why did ya flick the KTM off then?

hey, Ill have whisky with me rocks and then Im likely to capsize to... 140k is a good effort in how many years?

Cos my short legs couldn't reach the ground unless it was flat, and then it was tippy toes, and that was with the bike lowered

4 years, & 120 approx. was done in the 1st two years & 20 over the last two, now it's parked up, guess that's what happens when you work for ya self

I'd have bought your SXC if I could.

Pity some low life nicked it under the pretense of test riding it when it was back up for sale a few months ago

You can get surgery in China to fix that ya know

It'd probably be cheaper & less painful than owning a BMW
