Helmutt Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Finally got the rest of my race prep goodies last week, now it's a waiting game on decent temps outside so I can get to finishing my KTM in time for OMRL season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptchaos Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 13 degrees this afternoon, snow and ice on the driveway and the street. Nothing to do except clean and lube the chain! Ok I started it up and idled for a bit too, then drove it the 10 feet back into the corner of the garage. Sigh, just a few more weeks right?

JR_ider Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Put the battery tender on it and pushed it out of the way so we can get my pickup and the wife’s suv both in the garage. Well this was Thursday night prior to the winter storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodehard Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 If by "today" we include over the past couple months: Valve clearance check, new plugs, clean all the crap you can't see and/or reach with the airbox installed, replaced dented radiator and complete the goofy air burp procedure, replaced a few little items that got scratched in the low side, sat on the bike and made vroom vroom noises. PS - I am surprised to be able to report that KTM replacement parts are actually reasonable priced, comparable to Japanese brands. Even KTM accessories, made by other companies (think soft luggage), are actually lower priced than the same item without KTM branding. The BMW, on the other hand, parts were priced as if forged from pure gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post B-Mac Posted January 19, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Today the Wife suggested that the Driveway needed to be cleared of snow. I went outside to the garage and got sidetracked. The driveway can wait, It's getting warmer anyway. P.S. I finally found a usage for the nanny Traction Control option, Playing in the snow. Also my Epic Ride Hoodie with no writing on the front. Edited January 19, 2018 by B-Mac 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobhawkins Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Got heat in the shop today. That's more for me than the bikes, but it will make me able to do stuff with them again soon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBBaron Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Tore apart the rear suspension. Replaced the spring with one better suited to my weight , cleaned and regreased all of the bearings and reassembled. No leftover nuts or bolts. I think I did OK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodehard Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Put some front axle sliders on the Duke - judging by the road rash on the axle nut, the PO could have used these when he laid her down. Got some heated grips, but I only got so far as to take them out of the box and rub them gently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 frustratingly (as usual) soldered the new clutch switch to my old pig tail. finagled all the cleaned switches back into the left switchblock/ then saw that the connector looked burned on one side almost from out-side in but no matching burned wiring. popped a full charged battery in and it started enthusiastically. Rode'er with snowboard pants over my kevlar pants. That worked very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
