Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
When i checked the KTM valve clearances all 4 exhaust valves were pretty tight on the 0.25mm feeler gauge, which is bottom spec, and I had told myself that it would be fine till next service and was going to to build it back up when the 4 spark plugs arrived. Bad move having too much thinking time!...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Shims for the front exhaust valves both need the same size so it’s lucky I didn’t just by a generic box of single shims. Unfortunately they are not in stock at the dealer so a 5day order from ktm, so I put the old ones back in, fitted cams and cam bridge, then refitted and reset the cct so I could s...

Re: 9 /10 / 11 Aug. Op Storm Northumberland
The A686 runs SW from Haydon Bridge down through Alston then over the famous Hartside pass. Only a brief stop here the look at the view over Cumbria because the run down to Melmerby is something special and the cafe/bakery at Melmerby is tops. One option then is to run North on B roads to Brampton a...

Re: 9 /10 / 11 Aug. Op Storm Northumberland
Kermit has routes in mind, he is local.
As for how many storms….. they get less and less each year….. if I am in my camper van, I will have my storm, but if I decide to ride there from home it will be on the KTM

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
For me the only crashes that get into my head were the ones I cant find an explanation for. As long as I can work out what I did wrong, or what failed, then I can process the lesson and go straight back to speed. But if I can’t work it out, it niggles at my mind that it could happen again because I ...
