    Do you want the double or single room? :laugh: Tell her there’s a near new bathroom for you to use here too.

    There would be nearly no weight on the rear spring by now. Maybe try splitting the diiference between static and rider sag. Doesn’t sound like you’ll make it any worse.

    What offset are the Berg triple clamps. Maybe a set of them might be cheaper than the aftermarket ones.

    Until Rudy chimes in I’ll keep thinking of ideas. :)

    Oh and the shed has a bed and bathroom too if your not comfortable staying in the house with us… ;)

    Have thought of ditching the KTM and buying a Berg? OR maybe the 350 EXC. :woohoo:

    Just about every KTM I have ridden had front end issues. A mate has an 07 525 and put 17mm tripple clamps on and he says it settled the front a fair bit.

    Also sounds like you might the wrong rear spring. Evil Rudy may be able to shed some light on that.

    Good report guys.

    We don’t call Galey the ‘Taddy’ of the west for no reason Bob. :laugh:

    He really is a freak on a bike.

    Yep Ultra HD tubes are the go. I think I was running the Vee Rubber as well only because that what my local shop supplies. I don’t remmebr having a flat in the 2 or 3 years I had it. I used to run 8 or 10 psi at Sunny Corner.

    I now have mousse tubes front and back. :)

    I don’t think so Eagle. :P

    It looks like a converted adventure bike. I could ride the adventure version on the those tracks and in the paddock.

    The only thing that would be good for is a run at Pikes Peak. :woohoo:

    Might suit the XR650 riders if they were looking to upgrade though. :whistle:

    in reply to: When to Replace bearings? #207137

    Mal
    Member

    Yep I do the same as Adam.

    Cause the bearings are reasonably priced I keep a new set in the shed and always check the wheels a couple of days before a ride. They only take 20min to change.

    Hard to put a time limit on replacing bearings as the ride conditions sometimes shorten the life of the bearings.
