My KTM 690 Adventure

[Crisis management]

For a XR you have to do the 88mph speed test in which you will be able to time-travel back and change your machine to be a efi fuel injected, only then can you run the 15 min idle reset (after you take it to your honda dealer for a ecu reset of course)

Try and keep up Chris, he's talking about New Zealand Idol, he had his shot last night, didn't you see it, country yodelling I think it was?

you need to take the weight off the front end when bleeding air out of forks

I dug into my 950 manual out last night and that says to put the bike on the side stand when bleeding the air from the forks.

You could get a tow hitch on that...

Well I got back in one peice from my unsanctioned ride!!! It was a classic too. Saw my mate drop his 950 in the sea and bend his break leaver, did some lame wheelies and flicked some sand around, gave the TKC rear a good thrashing so see how it copped with road seal...verdict...pretty good only one slip on shiney bit of road , and finnally parked up under a tree while waiting for James to bring me some more gas all in all an excellent 5hr fang!!

[NordieBoy]

Praying won't help that brake...

I was woundering why I ran out of fuel yesterday when by my calculations I had about 100klm of fuel left?? well i figured it out....the fuel tap which connects to the rear tank is poked which means when filled to the top it casues the rear tank to overflow until it levels with the height of the front tank. (you sposed to turn the tap off till youve done 100klm) so Ive been loosing gas

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on one of these in a hurry???

It looks the same as fitted to the factory 950 Adventure tanks so maybe KTM?

I did one of mine tonight, the other I need to rotate the fork round to get at the screw.

No fsssst for me either, I must also ride like a nana.

I rotated the other fork leg today so I could open the screw to breathe the fork, lots of pssssffftt, I was surprised by how much actually there must have been a fair bit of pressure in there.
