First step is undo the front wheel, undo the triple clamps pull the forks and throw into Wheely bin, get some KYBs or Ohlins from late model donors and insert, problem solvered.

Nah seriously Moto get one of those adjustable grinder spanners with one fixed side and the other is hinged, should work from what I saw in the local KTM House of pain (dealer)

I wouldn’t worry if it’s a longitudinal crack Dan, sounds like an internal casting flaw has surfaced with a little wear.

a good vee groove with a grinder and a competent TIG operator and like new again.

This is not a common fault on any modern bike Dan, like TB said casting mark or fault maybe?

Good to see you blokes doing your civic duty and filling in that nasty hole with some abandoned rubbish you found laying around….

Have to agree, I actually gave the Suxuki and yamaha toolkits to my Son when he was 4, and there is an unopened one in the shed somewhere from our old ’92 ZXR750

Plasticine is always handy, I reckon old Bert Munroe coulda melted them down and made something useful for a motorbike out of them………….

It’s like looking into the sun, you spin around and accidently get an eyeful, and it burns… oh how it burns.

Rocket you shall pay for that…(eventually)

Nice to make your virtual acquaintaince Daisy, an old trials Honda 125 4 stroke, could be worth a couple of K to the right person, but personally if you have any attachment to it, I’d restore the old girl at your leisure.

Nothing wrong with roadbikes, it’s just the other idiots you have to share the road with that took me away from them in the end..

[Bruce CurtisMember]

excellent call Roy, KTMs have been doing this for years, you’d reckon word woulda got back to the factory and they’d do something about it by now.

Please explain Bruce what fibre washer?

Been years since I dealt with one either TB, newer design carbs usually have an O’ring interference wise, this being an older VM series has a threaded seat and to stop fuel bypassing the needle it has a fibre washer in the seats seat.

Was hard as a 16 yr old who accidently swallowed his Grandfathers whole bottle of Viagra.

and went off just as fast too…. :dry:

Ta for the good vibe thoughts Dan, musta helped cause it hit me like a train what it probably was this morning when i arose from slumber
