Nice one teza !

[JoeMember]

My Hero 2 also was also prone to freezing after I did a update :angry:
However there was a new update & now all is fine It seems to be a firmware problem or a glitch when you are downloading the firmware

Well I’m not convinced on the spot tracker………Still think its a gimmick thats why I havent bought one!

Maybe a Spot Tracker would have helped, maybe he already had one,,,, but other riding buddies are a must wherever you ride !!!

Condolences to the family of this poor bloke

Hey Eagle,
I ride a lot on my own as well as with a group. While I enjoy riding in a group + the safety, there,s nothing like a 3-4 hour after work or w/end on your own nothing planned.Just riding tracks as they come up, exploring dead end tracks & taking others just to see where they end up.You dont stop unless you fall over as there’s no-one to talk to.Usually you turn back once your fuel is close to reserve . totally spent. Lov it

How did Try Hard carry enough for 600km?

12ltrs in underseat tank
14 ltrs in front aux tank
2 x 4ltr jerry cans in each pannier

42ltrs in total Lotsa will have to tell you the longest distance we did as I didn’t take notice.

Simple maths 101

12 + 14 = 26

26 + 4 + 4 =34 thats 3 and a 4 Tryhard :laugh:

so how did you get 42 from your above figures :huh:

TB

Simple Maths 102 :blink:

12ltrs in underseat tank
14 ltrs in front aux tank
2 x 4ltr jerry cans in each pannier (4 x 2 left pannier)+(4 x 2 right pannier)

12+14+8+8=42

Great lover I guess

I have been reading with keen intrest & thought I would put my 2 cents worth.
I have owned from new a 2007 ktm 525 (9000ks) & currently have a 2009 ktm 530 with12000+k & 250+hrs. I havent had a boiling problem yet even running on stockton beach dunes in mid summer 35+deg.
I think KTM05 has the right idea but I’ll add a couple of things & put them in the order I think is important.

1 Install a genuine ktm fan with thermostate
2 Get it jetted correctly ( they are way to lean from new)
3 Do not install radiator gaurds that restrict air flow. I don’t use radiator gaurds at all ,however my radiators are both very twisted/bent but don’t leak.
4 Do not over fill, just 10 mm above the fins.Overwise when the coolant gets hot it expands,drips down the tube onto the header pipe & steams.
5 If I stop for more than 20 seconds I switch the motor off.(when standng still there is no air flow)
6 Remember these motors are designed to rev 10000+ rpm. If you are lugging around 5-6000 rpm the water pump isn’t flowing as much. That’s just my theory as I like to hear the motor scream.
7 Be aware how much you are slipping the clutch as this generates a lot of heat.Even with the seperate oil chambers it can still overheat the oil witch in turn overheats the motor.
8 Keep the oil topped up in tne motor.

Like I said just my 2 cents worth.
