Just to add to the other Dave's words of wisdom...... my GT is the 2017 version (has LED rear indicators) but it was actually assembled in Nov 2016. So I think the issue might be more about the assembly of the initial 2016 builds. The later 16's like DaveNZ's appear to be fine. Have a look on the le...

Welcome back jj....... :) Have the nurses shown you how to do the 'coughing' exercises without busting your chest.....(?) They showed me how to cuddle a pillow and cough - after a coupe of days of really painful attempts at crossing my arms in the brace position (if I was quick enough). So hug that ...

Crikey ....... that's considered as ok......... glad they had a rethink!

I'm in the "change oil at half recommended interval" camp like DaveNZ. (I use 15w50 in V2's, 10w50 in my 4cyl CBR1100xx).

Hope I don't see cam lobes like those when I get to 30,000kms.

Hi all, there is a recall out on fuel pumps/filters which would likely be the solution to stalling/loss of power issues on some 1290's. I have yet to hand my GT in for the recall (I haven't had any issue with the fuel pump but will do the recall when able)....... but my guess would be some of the pu...

Good come back DaveNZ

I like it........ "The Invalids".........

I'll be 'Aussie the In-valid'........ a legend in my own mind...........

Best wishes on a great outcome jjscx6..... ;) It is amazing how well you will feel within a few days of the big op....... they usually show patients the door after only 5 days recovery......... naturally you will be pretty banged up for 6-8 weeks, but the soreness goes away quickly, although you'll ...

G'day all..... :) I just visited my KTM/Ducati/Suzuki/CanAm BRP thingy super store on Saturday (got a mate to pick me up as I still can't legally drive or ride without medical authority.......yet...... :( ). They were having an open day for their new Duvati showroom...... but I saw the 2018 model 12...

Used my Abba with front wheel lift accessory yesterday, while installing new front tire for my SDGT. Worked like a champ! Easy, stable. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk G'day Mr C....... :) Just curious...... how did you attach the lift strap? Did you put a 'pin' into the rear axle or does Abba s...

Cheers Gary, I use www.motea.com/en for Constands (weird name eh?....... but no con... :lol: ). I cannot find my "Central Stand EVO" on the manufacturers website........ but it comes up easily on Motea's site :) The Abba stand is more clever because it can be adapted to raise the front wheel (google...

I've got the abba simply because a mate was selling it cheap though honestly I haven't used it yet, I need someone the other side to monitor until a gain confidence in it ( still got 3 years payments to go ;-) ) Hi Mick, Google Abba superbike stand video's online......(if you haven't already)..... ...

Cheers Mr Clogan....... I don't think they offer the front lift combo like the Abba stand....... but I didn't require it as I already have a 'La Corser' front steering stem lift stand (another KTM stand copy which I can use even in my dilapidated post surgery state :lol: ). Had I known what I know n...

Hooray... :D .... Aussie Post has delivered my package earlier than I expected........ miracle or what :o Ok so out with a knife and a 5mm allen key and some thread locker and then to the garage for a test fit..... Well made & easy to use.jpg Good long lever helps haul it upright..jpg Hoists rea...

Cheers Aka, I see you got your knee down....... lookin good!

New Constand Evo is in Melbourne...... so that'll be another 4 days by road via Sydney before it arrives here on Thursday.... yawn..... it's not urgent.... but I wish the DHL freighter was direct to Brisbane Airport

G'day supergt, Has your GT got the silver heat shield sock around the rear exhaust pipe? I only notice some heat when I stop at traffic lights and even then it's not uncomfortble...... just noticeable...... but I am 32" leg and 5' 9.5" for comparo. I often wonder if hot running on various models/bra...

Well....I'm an idiot. I've read somewhere on here that the Angel GT's feel shitty under inflated and l believe thats exactly what it was. I thought that something just went wrong with the bike recently or l was pushing the bike more since l was used to it. Every since my dealer turned off my tpms I...

Best wishes from Aus mate......... hope the stint is all you need........but if it goes the other way, well that's still better than the other option ;) I'm getting stronger by the day now that my little friend (an ICD = defibrillator with pacemaker) acts as my personal ambulance watchdog......... h...

Cheers jfw........ rocket man was directing his warm greetings towards the other Dave (Dave in Newzealand), so I couldn't take offence........ they were having a discussion about the big 'Don'........ which can lead to a scary place..... ;) I wonder if rocketcaptain is an SDGT owner or just a troll ...

Cheers Doc, The SW Motech's on your GT are mounted at three points and would (I think) be a lot stronger than my Ibex bars, which are only mounted on two points (but have a connection through the front). They are however solid feeling and now that you mention it (roll over's), would let the Gt lay f...

:lol: :lol: Today is National Ibex Day :lol: :lol: ....... well, that is, my delivery from Motea has arrived (unfortunately for me, it landed at Melbourne Airport and Aus being as large a lump of land as the USA, it took as much time to Brisbane as it did from Germany to Aus...... :roll: ). Anyway, ...
