Yep TB i did so for my suzi road bike. any of the sealed bearings in a car can be got too, e.g. idler pulleys etc.

my bro recoed a celica box and upgraded the bearings with heavier ones got from the local AG equip/supplies shop.

if they don’t have it on the shelf they can get it in.

either from part number on old one or just measure with callipers.

Yeah I am a mechanic by trade and have purchased the odd bearing :laugh:

Sorry XY, I didn’t explain they are a narrow race bearing, the spacer between is alloy and crushes and needs replacing with the bearings (rat the KTM god told me that as well as well as reading about) so you need to purchase a kit

Look I didn’t want to get into a full debate just saying check everything out and enjoy you purchase

TB have you changed your color preferance from red to blue or are you just trying to tell us that KTM parts are to dear?

No mate not at all, if I was to purchase another bike most people would be shocked by my purchase, just saying check everything out and have a good clear think

Cheers TB

Forget the go fast bits, no one here rides a modern 450 to its limit, price a set of wheel brgs for both and notice the $33 price difference, yes one has some quality gear for sure and if I raced I could see the value for sure, but the other will do the same job week in and week out as well, tough choice

TB

[GregMember]

Your pace and enjoyment will be the same on either bike, but when purchasing after market gear and accessorises one will be so much cheaper than the other, go and price some parts and see what I mean

I’d hate to see the condition of the Vor when I rebuild it.

I’ve gone against the flow and chosen to change the oil VERY regularly, which means I’m not using the best syntheticoil available, obviously.

Valves haven’t been adjusted yet…

Valve adjustment got nothing really to do with the oil, more the air filter whick you must look after

Motul 5100 15w50 I have used it in everything I own, Chickens 600 has had in it since I got it with 4500kms on it, it has now done over 44000kms it has been raced, trail ridden and done it all and has had a clutch fitted nothing else, my 650 has just had its 28th oil change, most around 500kms some over 1000kms (just) it did the whole four day without an oil change, that’s enough for me.
