My Major KTM Overhaul

[Anonymous]

Well after recent events I have decided that after 7,500K’s of riding and my high revving, alot of noise, not alot of action riding style I’ve decided to give the old girl a major overhaul before Coffs this weekend.

I have Thursday off so cintend to do all the work myself before leaving Friday.

As opposed to the normal monthly service of being washed I have bought a new air filter, a whole new can of chain lube, a spark plug and a new clutch lever.

Hopefully I’ll get it all done in time. I have to admit it’s a pain owning such a labour intensive KTM.

Wow, that’s serious mate, I hope you can get it all done! Do you think it might also be worth checking the tyre pressure while you are on the go?

Nice work, good reliability that!

I had an old boss like that, owned as CRF250f for three years, had never even taken it in for a service or oil change, said it was all crap to make the dealers and oil companies money, I will now have the same motto towards you Moto as him (except he’s a complete and utter self-absorbed nutter) in regards to this…that is I will never buy a used vehicle off you.

Cause usually it’s the second owner that cops the problems see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_failure

No :dry:

I actually did the spark plug last night in all of my excitement. I did try to buy a pre oiled filter but they didn’t have any so I’ll have to oil it myself

I even sprayed the footpegs with WD40. Not the bearings, just the footpegs :laugh: Oh, new clutch lever is on too.

If it breaks, it breaks, that’s life.
