The bike is the easy bit its getting the boots back to new that gets me!

I treat mine the same as the bike, truckwash and the pressure washer.

I do the same Jeffro then give them a generous spray with tyre shine so they’re easy to clean next time

Nick

Never thought to use tyre shine Nick, I occasionally spray some WD40 on the buckles is all I do after cleaning.

I was keen on the 390 until I realised it was 124 kg’s. My bike is 108 and there is no way I am going heavier. I am speaking to Rory @ Rock Motorcycles about a possible upgrade.

I thought the FE390 was only 114Kg

I believed that too until an independent weigh in put that at 10 kg more dry.
Sutto’s may be able to shed some light.

The weights are often wrong for published figures. Either way, KTM/Berg’s don’t seem too far off the mark. All weights don’t include various fluids like fuel. A full 8.5 litre tank will weigh close to 8kg by itself.

All bikes weigh more than published figures and there is no way your WR is 108Kg

TB has a good point about a new WR250 though…………

[Matt BakerMember]

I just did an independent weighing of my bike by putting some bathroom scales under the back wheel and then the front wheel (not very accurate but good enough)

Back was 65kg, front 55kg that includes oil, about 1 litre of fuel, barkbusters, radiator guards, ultra heavy tubes and about 1 or 2 kgs of quality Neville mud.

My not very accurate measurements are pretty close to the 114kg dry claimed weight.

[Matt BakerMember]

Looks like I have to get the ct18 and wd40 out to give her a bath and then weigh again
