I’m a massive rap for the Dunny 952(rear).

That’s good, I’m glad they suit someones bike and terrian, cause I’ll be blunt and state (again) it was the absolute worst tyre I have ever used, ever, it sucked in the mud, it sucked in the sand, it sucked so much on rocks that even the rocks rejected it and made it leave their presence, the only place it didn’t suck majorly was grass and dryish loam, on that it just sucked a nominal vacuum. It’s biggest issue for me was I came right off a predictable reasonably grippy 736R to a 952R and was chalk and cheese, I’ll be blunt the MX-retread with a 736 carcass I’m running ATM is far more predictable, even if it does throw random knobs into the undergrowth, at least when i bought I went in with my eyes wide open expecting little.

I loved dunlops in the 7 series, but the 952 I gave away and will never ever recommend for a hard hitting 2T, and has even made me wary of Dunlop altogether.

think i agree with you on this bruce i had a lot of trouble in single track trying to get the bike to turn in with the 952 rear tyre thought it was just me untill i changed the tyre .it did last well though

Those levers do look a little plastic-ish and they are charging you for zip ties… maybe they are special Kinchrome zip ties, but I prefer to get decent ones. Open-ender/Ring spanners are OK and Kinchrome have decent quality (for the price) spanners and sockets. The only useful thing there I don’t have is the tie wire. I do carry:
[ul]-Multi-tool with allen keys, 1/4 drive sockets in 8, 10 & 12 sizes & screwdriver fittings
-Good quality tyre levers (2 normal, 1 small “spoon” version)
-Puncture repair kit
-Pushbike pump
-Spare front tube
-10 inch Shifter (doubles as a hammer!)
-Pointy nose pliers
-Variable jaw pliers
-Spanners (open-end/ring) in 10, 12 plus open end 14/17
-Zip ties varying sizes
-Insulation tape
-Plug spanner
-Chain master link
[/ul]

Need to get a few critical spare parts to carry like a plug, maybe a brake & clutch lever. Otherwise I reckon it is not a bad setup. I prefer mine in my camelback (Mule) rather than in a bumbag. My bumbag is for my camera, wipe for my goggles, snacks and licence/money if required.

KTM s come with there own tool kit -is that because they know were going to need them :S i just added tyre levers+ tube +pump and screw driver for clickers old brake pads for other peoples bikes :side:

[alanMember]

[alanMember]

[alanMember]

they can not be that good if you keep pinching the tube .used to use them kendas all the time but the cheap supply dryed up there a good tyre but hard sidewall don t get many flats or dinted rims .grip good round dubbo last okay to just my apionion

[alanMember]
